Teensy Convolution SDR (Software Defined Radio)

[Jack-009]

gmtii: I followed this method to solder, but I can’t receive the signal. I don’t know why? Can you help me?

[Jack-009]

I don’t know why I can’t upload pictures. Do you have an email address?

[QUOTE=DD4WH;261776]Hi Rudolf: no, there is no complete schematic / es gibt keinen kompletten Schaltplan. Its the very nature of the project that the Teensy Convolution SDR can cope with every I & Q input from many different frontends and that builders have their own plan of the hardware. But you can find an incomplete suggestion in:

Hallo Frank,

and Frohe Ostern !

I have teensy 3.6 also the Elektor SDR board.
Do I need to buy audio teensy board, or I can use audio output from elektor sdr?
Thank you in advance !

My best 73, de yo2ldk

[Karlchen]

You Need additional the teensy audio board, which is use as ADC for the analog I/Q signals from the Elektor SDR.

[Frank B]

..and from my experience, the Elektor board is not very good, but sufficient for the fist experiments. Just don't expect great results.

[Karlchen]

The problem of the Elektor SDR is the noisy op amplifier. An low-noise op as the TS464 or TS974 instead the TS914 gives bettler performance.

Nice project

Ich habe den Empfänger zusammengestellt und bin sehr zufrieden. Kompiliert #define HARDWARE_DO7JBH mit den Modulen PCM1808 / PCM5102. Die Lautstärke ändert sich jedoch nicht, wenn der Encoder von 0 bis 100 eingestellt wird. Bitte um Hilfe

Hallo Frank

I have put together the receiver and I am very satisfied. Compiles #define HARDWARE_DO7JBH with PCM1808/PCM5102 modules. However, the volume does not change when the encoder is set from 0 to 100. Ask for help

Hello,
I'm a newbie at Teensy SDR project so excuse me if I ask a wrong or unnecessary question.
I decided to build the Teensy-Convolution SDR project.
I ordered Teensy 4.0, 2.4 inch ILI9341 LCD, ADC PCM1808 module, DAC PCM5102a module and receiver module from QRP-Labs.
By the way, I downloaded all the files from https://github.com/DD4WH/Teensy-ConvolutionSDR. I installed Teensyduino. I also installed the si5351 library and the Arduino-Teensy-Codec library. I also fulfilled the issues stated in the "Software setup:" section at https://github.com/DD4WH/Teensy-ConvolutionSDR.
Finally, I wanted to compile the "Teensy_Convolution_SDR.ino" file to try, but got some error messages.
My question is: is there a document that outlining what needs to be done according to the latest version and libraries?
Regards.
Recep

Hello,
I'm also am newbie at Teensy SDR project. I downloaded all the files from https://github.com/DD4WH/Teensy-ConvolutionSDR.
I have been able to stop the compilation errors by adding all of the necessary libraries but, it still gives a lot of warnings.

Can I ignore these warnings? See below.

Regards.

I am successful in compiling the code on a teensy 4.1 and now tryi g to get it running with an ili9486 320x480 tft has anyone worked on a similar project

Thanks for the response that is the code base I was using the issue is that the waveshare 4" display with ili9486 controller and thier janky spi to parallel hardware is not properly initialized by the source so I need to replace the ili9341_t3n include with a equivalent one for the ili9486 on the waveshare board. I had hoped that someone had already done the coding and it just needed testing with a teensy 4.1 and waveshare shield.
