RDA1846/SA818 - Capturing I2C with I2CDriver
In this video I solder connections to the SDA and SCL lines on the SA818 board and show the resulting traffic on the scope. Then I use the I2CDriver
https://i2cdriver.com/
To capture traffic between the uController and RDA1846. I also do a quick demo of the I2CDriver itself. The resulting traffic captured is here:
https://github.com/thaaraak/rda1846/blob/master/documents/c2.csv
I did try the Bus Pirate
http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate
but I was unable to capture the traffic (potentially because the I2C bus is running at too high a frequency)

In this video I have the Tiny mounted to a PCB which I created. I have the kicad project files here:

I have decided to move away from using Eagle and onto Kicad. That change took a bit a pain!

In this video I put together the QRP Labs 10W Linear Amplifier

I mention a couple of times that the bias reference circuit sets the BS170 DC bias at ~10V - that isn't correct its 2.7V

TINYP
tinypico-radio-part-1-micropython-and
In this video I build up an I/Q style radio using a Tinypico running micropython as the controller
Tinypico can be found here
https://www.tinypico.com/
The tinypico maker's youtube channel Unexpected Maker is
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu94OHbBYVUXLYPh4NBu10w
Reference on Micropython can be found at
https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/
The code I have built is at
https://github.com/thaaraak/Tinypico-Radio
Note: I am not the author of the lcd, bounce or si5351 libraries. The lcd and si5351 were both for circuit python which is a little different and bounce I adapted from an Arduino library. Simple Encoder is also adapted from some arduino code I found and "micropython-ized"
The main starting point of the code can be run by
import radiorun
The code itself is pretty simple - happy to answer any questions on how it works!
