The Road Map for the RSS has changed somewhat or here we go again. I have decided to implement CANaerospace on the Arduino Megas. This is kind of tough though. The CANaerospace protocol has never been ported to the Arduino first, the endianness 1 is wrong…
In this Blog Post, I will carry on with phase I of testing. This consists of four (4) components. The radio head itself, which has not been modified. The Custom Cable consists of 2 DB-25m connected to 3 ARINC connectors. The RSS C-3436A interface. And…
Well here I am again after taking a new (very old) look at the code base (2016) which had been lost, but nothing is really never lost on the Internet. I found my old code at Hackster.io and took a look at it. What I had done was to weigh each of the bits…
I have been fighting with the Arduino for the last few years. this time I wanted to simplify my code base by using a struct in my header file:
// typdef struct frequency {
int bits[20][5] = {{1,1,0,0,1},{1,1,0,0,0},{1,1,1,0,0},{1,0,0,0,1}…
So, before I waste some more of my time, I have decided to test the frequency selector pin-outs on P1. So what I decided was to put 5 LEDs on some perf-board with their resistors. Then connect them to the P1 (H-L and then (N-R) with wires between them…
THE PLAN (Step 2): Well the first thing we need is a piece of Vector Board, about 4" x 4" or about 10 x 10 cm ( Do not buy any cheap crap off of ebay.. It must be FR-4 , glass-epoxy ). Vector Board before for clean up Figure 1 I need cut 2 holes in the…
THE ANALYSIS: The radio head C-3436A was used in the 1960's. It is used for both VOR and ILS. It has three (3) ARC connectors in the rear. I had built some cables for the unit a few ago but then never did anything with it. So I need to test the RSS so…
Well, here I am again, what is this the third time? I last took this up in the blog Nexgen: CANaerospace: RSS: C-3436A Radio: Build i . So this is part II of the build, covering the hardware, 2x RS232 cutouts, securing the CAN interface, as well as the…
This is a how-to I build a typical node, this will show you my methodology. You will need to gather your goodies. In this case, I will need the following: ( this is a complication of the Info, Manufac, and Category tables the only thing not included is…
Well, I figured it out! Since I am using an Arduino Mega with 4 serial ports so what's the problem? All Slaves and Controllers use RJ-45 connectors and ethernet cable. There is very little magic here as Arduino has built-in drivers for the serial ports…
Ok so I have messing about with Edin Lite, which is only Half-Duplex and has a fairly small package size. So since I have an abundance of RS485 Modules I decided to try Full-Duplex. This is fairly straight forward, and I doubled my bandwidth. Whoopee…
Well, it's about time what I have been doing with the RSS. I will now describe how it works. So basically you have the NAVserver which sends multicast packets over the NAVbus (Ethernet).
So the RSS after as it initializes, it comes upon a predetermined…
The RSS has been well sort of like a trial by fire. Well to put it bluntly it was nuts, with too many moving parts.!! Kind of like an old Rube Goldberg Machine. What I needed was a better way.
Enter Java. Java has been around for more than two decades…
