Communication PCB
The communication board is very small and has only a few parts, which I bought at Reichelt. I asked a friend to help me with the smd UART and driver chip. They were so small, he needed a microscope to fix it. But all is done and the soldered PCB is built in the plastic little box.
So, after fixing the necessary cables (plus 13.8V, USB to PC), I connected the little box to the Controller PCB. Power on the communication box.
Now I should be able to see the communication PCB in the PC program, so start up the program (T1KS_V208.application), and select the correct COM-port, which is COM5 in my case. And,.....thanks to the fact I already fixed the fusebit problem (enabling the external oscillator), I got connection. Look in the picture below.
Look at the port, it is COM5 and look at the Typ: T60S. T60S means that we are communicating to a 1kWatt version of this tuner (there is also a 200W version). And it is reading the voltage, 14.0Volts (which is a bit to high) and the temp, which 25.6 C, which is OK.
