Pyboard (STM32F4) Radio
In this video I use the digital signal processing from the earlier video:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsMaN1bGWynysVNJgQ9jhQnYDfqz3-Cd8
and build a radio replacing opamps for phase shifting with DSP on the F4. The tayloe detector used is described here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwBk3jIxszI
The code is up on github here:
https://github.com/thaaraak/PyboardRadio
The pyboard is available here
https://pyboard.org/
Note I am not using micropython but rather just flashing from STMCube with
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J7N3RE6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The results were not as good as I had hoped. It looks like I damaged the Tayloe detector board and I wasn't getting the upper sideband suppression I had hoped. I will spin another board and post results

QCX T
qcx-transceiver-part-5-microcontroller
In this video the microcontroller and LCD are installed together with the remaining parts of the Frequency Synthesizer and Quadrature Sampling Detector. The I and Q signals generated from an injected signal are then observed.
Following that the pre-amp is installed completing the receive path and a signal is injected again demonstrating the full receive path (with the exception of the low pass filter)

This video is an update to the earlier SDR video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prCrbD4T6I4
In this video I create a new FIR implementation which uses the ESP-DSP
assembler implementation:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-dsp
The new library is here:
https://github.com/thaaraak/firduino
Examples of use can be found here:

audio-switch-with-cd4066
This is a follow on to Part 6 of the ESP32 Radio series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlqE-FiX18E
In that video I talk about the need for an Audio switch. In this video I use the CD4066 Quad Bilateral switch as an audio switch. Jump ahead to 2:27 if you want to skip the discussion of the transceiver audio switching
Here's the datasheet for CD4066
https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/cd4066b.pdf
Here's a couple of excellent articles on audio switching
https://easyeda.com/jaqwerty/Audio-Switch-on-CD4066
https://www.neatcircuits.com/audiosw/index.html
I haven't uploaded the ESP32 code to github because it was a simple extension of the "blink" program. Please let me know if you have any questions on the ESP32 setup
Note: for the audio switch in the radio I would actually need two CD4066s - i.e. 2 x DPDT switches.

In this video I'll build up the QCX transceiver

Instead of the usual instructions
https://qrp-labs.com/images/qcx/assembly_A4-Rev-4d.pdf
I'll be doing a module by module build and testing each stage separately.
Just a correction: In the video I said that the Tayloe detector takes the I/Q signals. It doesn't - it takes LO signals in quadrature and produces the I and Q signals at the audio baseband.
