QST Antenna Project N0v '17
« on: December 22, 2017, 11:06:21 AM »

Got this built and electrically ok. Software something else. Have a Mac and no luck programming it. Would anyone be willing to forward a copy of this Arduino project program zip file for it ? Willing to pay for it.

Thanks,

Just wondering, what's the problem?

I too have a mac and been programming arduinos for a while. Never had an issue.

Project assembly and programming information is from QRP Guys website and very good, but programming shown is for windows menus. When attempting file management manipulation on a Mac I get nowhere. Need a smart 10 year old!

OK Bill I see the problem you have.

I have the files zipped up, all corrected and just need to be unzipped, copied and pasted over to the libraries folder and I've included the code from the instructions for the Arduino IDE - it is an .ino file.

These files have been compiled and tested with the Arduino IDE a couple times for the standard Mega, no errors.

The problem is how to get them to you?

The zipped file is 1.8m, the uncompressed size is a little over 4.1m.

I have built this Analyzer as well.  The code compiled and uploaded after several tweaks and adding missing libraries.  However, I get the message "Initialization Failed"  I do not have a Micro SD card, but I believe the unit should still run a scan.  When I try and scan my ZS6BKW dipole I get a message "SWR greater than 5.0" and no plot on the screen  ???.  As far as I know the SWR on 20 meters on this dipole should be less than 5.0.

Anyone have any ideas, recommendations, solutions?

Thank you and 73,

I built this project and compiled the code.  it appears to work but I get an swr 5 even with a 50ohm resister??  I am going to have to get a scope out to check it but something isn't work right.  I did fix a code problem with deleting files on the SD card.

Sorry I wish I could help, I've got mine 3/4s together, it is a situation where I get to it and get interrupted and forget about it for a while.
