Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
Ok. Still waiting for my veroboard. You can't really see much , but I've done the parts removal bit and I used a 34pF in mine to get it close to 10.240(18) at pin 14. Waited 20 mins and tuned L16 for 10.24000.
Tomorrow I'll remove L13 and wire and fit the oscillator board.

Oscillator board in. I'll need to wait for my veroboard before continuing. Saying that , I need to check I have all the parts for the nano pcb.

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
Don't forget the Vin wire (orange in my example) BEFORE you power it up - supplying any unpowered IC with input voltages is generally a bad idea. This is the supply voltage to the oscillator board, we used the 5V output on pin 4 of the Nano for this - it also fed the hot (supply) side of the clarifier pot.

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
Thanks Sue. Didn't originally see it as it was a bit hidden. Although I would probably have seen it in the image further down the page.

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
Small update. The Spanish postman just tried to charge me €6 import duty for my £4 veroboard that I bought from the UK. Thanks a lot Brexit ! Anyway . I refused it , so I need to source some more. I'll update it again once I start it.

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
I'm back. Found a bit of scrap veroboard, so I'm using that.
Keen eyed viewers will have noticed that my resistor array is 1 short. I only had a SIP 9 , and I'm not going to use that last pin anyway , so I'll shunt it to GND with a normal resistor. More to follow..

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
Just tie the last pin to ground, either with a piece of wire or a standalone 10K resistor. That pin controls the offset used by the old 80's legal UK sets, so it's kind of useless on a radio that doesn't have FM anyway...

Yeah. I saw that Sue. That's why I don't need it. Thanks

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
Bit more.

Sue. In your photo you seem to have stuck an additional resistor on the 9V TX D2 line. Any reason for that ?

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
That was because I re-used the 858 veroboard circuit. The 858 has 13.8V on Tx, not 9V, so the original uses a 22K resistor.
The 2824 chassis only gives 9V, so to get the same output from the resistor divider a lower value is needed, 10K or so, not too critical. I paralleled the original 22K with a 15K I had on hand, giving 9K total, close enough to 10 for this application.
I could have just changed the resistor to 10K, but left the original in place so it could be used on other radios in the future, such as the MB8719/34 and NDI40013 PLLs - the added 15K would be easier to remove to restore it for a chassis with 13.V on Tx...

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
OK . Thanks Sue . I'll hopefully get most of the work finished over the weekend .

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
Hi Sue . I'm almost finished the component and wiring . Just wanted to ask you a question about loading the firmware . Does the nano get its power directly from the USB connection for this , or do the 12V and GND need to be connected ? The answer is probably in one of the threads , but I couldn't see it .
Thanks

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
It does, but it's best practice to fully power up and interconnected digital circuit before connecting an external data source. A loose connection at either end or dodgy cable on the USB could cook the ATMega chip on the nano when you upload to the Nano's data port. I'd install it in the radio and then program the firmware, making sure the radio is powered up when you do it.

Hi Sue. Ok. Thanks. That makes sense. I'll update the thread shortly with my results.

Re: New expansion - uPD2824 chassis
I have a couple more resistors to fit and then I need to go through it and check for shorts etc. Before I do that I'm going to replace a few electrolytics , as I won't have easy access to them once the nano board is fitted.
