2. Butterfly with computer serial RS232 port control or manual control

This will be a SI570 project using the Atmel Butterfly to control and display the frequency of a SI570, using the built in display and buttons.

 

The goals of the project are;

1. Control of SI570 using the serial RS232 port of the Butterfly
2. Respond to the Flex Kenwood command set to set/read frequencies and control of external band-pass filters
3. Optional self calibration mode if Butterfly hardware will allow it.
4. Generic use of serial ports to allow use of USB to serial adapter.

 

Initial project hardware will consist of;

1. Atmel Butterfly
2. Smiley Butterfly  carrier
3. Miscellaneous parts, and band pass filter relays.

This project is on standby until project #1 is well on it's way.
