_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ DDS 4.0 _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ The DDS 4.0 has a 9 band selection o/p instead of 4 bands in DDS 3.xx, no other changes with DDS 3.xx in functions, it uses two PIC16F628A, one is exclusively used for band/mode selection. Changes required in the circuit of DDS 3.xx ===================== 1. Remove 74LS139 but keep Resistor on RA4 2. Remove connection on RB1, and RB2 connect these to PIC-2 serial port 3. Disconnect LCD PIN 4 (RS) from SW3..SW6 common, and connect to RA6 4. Connect SW3..SW6 (i.e. RIT/SSB/STEP/CAL) common to RA7 Done!. PIC 2 Connections ================= 1. Connect PIC 2 serial to PIC 1 serial Port, i.e. RB1 to RB1 and RB2 to RB2 2. Connect VDD (+5V) on PIN 14 and Ground (0V) on PIN 5 3. Connect a Pull up Resistor on RA4 (4K7) to VDD Band Out puts are (PIC-2) ================= RB0 General Coverage RB3 Band 1 RB4 Band 2 RB5 Band 3 RB6 Band 4 RB7 Band 5 RA6 Band 6 RA7 Band 7 RA0 Band 8 RA1 Band 9 MODE Selection ============== AM - RA4 on PIC-1 CW - RA2 on PIC-2 LSB - RA3 on PIC-2 USB - RA4 on PIC-2 RA5 left unconnected Programming PICs ================ Hex file for programming PIC-1 and PIC-2 contains in the folders PIC-1 and PIC-2 respectively. Download DDS3.xx for assembling notes/instructions from www.hamradioindia.org/downloads.php Done!!
