Homebrew si5351 Board
I had been meaning to create a homebrew version of the si5351 boards that Adafruit and others sell. This is a quick video going through that build
Here's the circuit
https://github.com/thaaraak/si5351
and the code I used to test
https://github.com/thaaraak/ESP32-A1S-Tayloe/blob/master/si5351/si5351.ino
Here are the parts from digikey

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/epson/TSX-3225-25-0000MF20X-AJ3/5260885
0:00 Intro
1:14 The circuit
2:09 The board built
2:35 Testing and wrapup

In this video I have the Tiny mounted to a PCB which I created. I have the kicad project files here:
https://github.com/thaaraak/Tinypico-Radio/tree/master/kicad
I have decided to move away from using Eagle and onto Kicad. That change took a bit a pain!

DSP W
dsp-with-nucleo-144-f767-part-2
This video is the second part of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvmejxsQzn4&t=112s
In this video I do some DSP processing including:
- An echo and repeating echo
- Low and High Pass filters using the CMSIS library
- 0/90 degree phase shift filter
I connect the 0/90 degree audio output to the Tayloe mixer I built in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBuIS3qCd1k&t=723s
One thing I forgot to mention is that I am injecting the 0 and 90 audio signal after the phase shift network on the board (which is unpopulated)
The filter coefficients were creating using the Iowa hills filter software:
http://www.iowahills.com/
The code is all up on github:

This is a quick update from the original 10W Amp video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBiz594O5LA
In this video I do a number of measurements varying both the input signal as well as supply voltage and graph the results with Python.
I also add a low pass filter design from this site and remeasure
https://rf-tools.com/lc-filter/
Finally I graph the result of increasing the DC bias to the BS170s

This video is a followup from my earlier video on the "70 Watt" amplifier from ebay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgiakIxMjfI&t=85s
In this video I show a board I had created using the circuit from that amplifier together with some great mods from F5NPV
https://f5npv.wordpress.com/irf530-mosfet-amplifier/
The board schematic and gerber files are here
https://github.com/thaaraak/70W-Amplifier
The bill of materials is here - let me know if you have any questions on the source of any component
