CAT on Windows

Open bugsel opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

Thanks for the interesting project, yesterday I assembled the Pico RX, everything works fine, tested it only on FT8, on absolutely unsuitable antenna, on Linux the CAT interface works, but I can't launch it on Windows. The port appears, are there any special drivers needed for it?

Place for the OLED display does not match the most popular options that are sold: G-V) I didn't immediately understand, only after I burned my finger on the display)

@bugsel Hi, on windows you may need to set the force DTR (high) option to get CAT working. You are right about the oled connections, I hadn't realised until recently that some olds were the other way round. When I update the PCB I will add some links.

@dawsonjon can use any display, there are 2 jumpers to change the polarity, can simply add labels to the pads on the mask

With DTR (High) CAT its working! Thanks )
