For more details about the application and the controller: rehamradio.com/
Please help and support this channel with Patreon: patreon.com/rehamradio
This is "Part 1" from set of videos, that will demonstrate the features of the WiFi Stepper Motor Controller application. As long as more features will be released, I will add more videos.
In this video, I will demonstrate:
1. How to install and upgrade the Firmware
2. Demonstrate the "Watchdog" feature
3. Demonstrate the "Range Limits" feature, that can support Variable Vacuum Capacitors

    How does a magnetic loop work vs a regular loop or dipole?

    • @reHamRadio
      @reHamRadio 4 дні тому

      There are lots of differences but the main idea Is that with my loop we are using induction between the small loop and the main loop, while in dipole the load is direct in the middle of the antenna. There are so many more differences and the best will be to read about that online, there are so much knowledge out there. I hope it helps and answers your question.

WSJT-X then changes the audio frequency used for modulation to put your signal back into the bandpass area of interest. Thank you for you video.

I am using an air variable capacitor that doesn't have 360° of rotation.

I am afraid I would damage my stepper motor pretty quick.

      The latest software version already contains "Memories" which can be used to set specific locations to stop the motor.

However, I confess to being surprised by a bad connection between the rotor shaft and electrical connection of one good looking but old variable capacitor - only about 0.25 ohm by my milliohm meter but with a radiation resistance in the 0.3 ohm range you could, potentially, lose half your power in the capacitor shaft connection and never know it! Does anyone else have a comparable finding or am I the unlucky one? Neil, AB4YK
