It's alive! Did some RX/TX testing with a HackRF and SDRangel, works so far.
The mike is a little to hot and i can not turn down the gain any more. TX sounds terrible for now. Have to check with another mike.
And does anybody know where testpoint "BB_RX" is on the board (rev 0.1e)?
Some assembly required...
Did some M17 tests last week with a DigiRig and my hotspot. But i want to run it without a PC for potential future use with a local repeater (which has no M17 support yet but maybe in the (near?) future).
@dh5ym first reminder ;-)
Yaesu CT-39A packet interface cable wired to RS-232 for use with the #Module17 modem board.
Took over week to get them as VK seller so slow to get them in the post. besides that I now have a couple proper TNC cables for the #Yaesu FT-7800 & FT-857D that going to be wired to RS-232 male plug to be used with my #Module17 modem board. The cable I prevously made to do the job, the minidin6 didn't fit in the socket properly on the FT-7800 and the outer plastic sleeve had to be pulled back.
This audio might sound a lot better than the last #M17 net on 17:00 UTC Fri. I checked in on.
The recording done by friend @jared on one the multimode networks @vk3jed maintains here in VK, so basically it my #Module17 hooked to Yaesu FT-7800 going to my #MMDVM mini repeater with M17 to multimode network to #DMR that @jared is using. Also when this filmed I not been awake long 😹
well we are getting there with the @m17_project #Module17 board, I can do much about the RX as there is a sync issue in the @openrtx firmware that needing sorting out, then should hopefully have better RX
Will upload a TX video soon with #SDRpp being used as the #M17 decoder

@m17_project solder the header pins and Waveshare LCD to my #Module17 board and flashed the latest @openrtx firmware.
@m17_project #Module17 boards arrived today along with some #rs232 breakouts. the soldering and stuff looks very well done, very nice looking boards. Just waiting for the waveshare LCDs to arrive.
#OpenRTX (@openrtx) is a free and #OpenSource firmware for digital ham radioshttps://openrtx.org
The #firmware is designed with a top-down approach with the objectives of modularity, flexibility and high performance.
Currently, it targets the following devices:
- Tytera MD-380/390
- Tytera MD-UV380/390
- Tytera TYT MD-9600
- Radioddity GD-77
- Baofeng DM-1801
- #M17 project's #Module17
we have #M17 on a Duplex #MMDVM, Pi Zero 2 W with #WPSD dashboard. Now to wait for my #Module17 board to arrive so can test all this out 😺
I am a damn HAPPY chap, was able to get two #Module17 boards.
