Digital VFO with analog dial (retro dial) from JF3HZB. (SI5351 - ESP32) - Issue and fix + F6CRP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I built the digital VFO with analog display described by JF3HZB. The wiring is very simple but I encountered an unexpected problem while compiling the code. After many unsuccessful attempts, I found the cause of the problem.
The ESP32 Packages 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 causes error during compilation. Version 2.0.5 or anterior should be used.
Here is the address to download the package :

The VFO works very well now, and thanks to JF3HZB and DJ7OO for the code, great job!.

Denis, you have helped so many people with your video. I have worked for several days to understand why I can no longer compile my sketch, but now I know it was the newer board library issue that you describe. My sketch is now compiling (as before) and I can continue work on my radio project. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much John for your message. It gives me great pleasure to have been useful to someone.
When I made this video, I had no idea that so many friends would have encountered this problem, I thought I was a marginal case. :-).
I wish you every success with your projects.
GOD BLESS!!!! I haven't wired it up yet....but after getting rid of the "charge only USB C cable" and finding one that worked and uploading blink successfully....I was then hit with missing libraries.....fixed that and then got the same error msg as yours "Dram error"....well I followed your instructions and it compiles and uploads!!!! So thanks....I will post a link to my finished product if it works....and give this video a shout out as it is very helpful! If this DDS VFO works well I will make it the heart of an OZ QRP 20m KIT I have. 73 de VK2AOE.
Hello,
and thank you for your message. I'm very happy to hear that my experience and this video have been of use to you. You are the 4th person to have left a comment on this subject and to have encountered the same problem.
This VFO works very well and is really nice to use with both the analog and digital display. An absolutely brilliant idea from JF3HZB.
I installed it on an HF receiver, it's perfect.

Thank you so much for the video. I have had this issue for weeks and this took care of it. Much appreciated
Thank you for your comment and I am delighted to have been able to help you. This VFO is well worth the effort.
All the best. Best regards
Thank you Denis I struggle for hours installing different libraries, checking the sketch,trying different boards then watching your video solved the problem in seconds
Thank you once again

Hello Pete, I'm delighted to have been able to help you. Indeed, I too struggled a lot before finding a solution. Sometimes the hobby can be a bit of a tease. 😏
Thank you for your encouragement, it makes me very happy to know that this video was useful. 73 Denis F6CRP
Denis, greetings from Toronto! Many thanks for your video/effort. That info on downgrading the package was indeed helpful. 1.0.6 worked for me. 73.
Glad to have been of service 73 Denis F6CRP
Going back to that version did not work with my ESP32 WROOM board, but 2.0.3 did! Thanks.
Good evening and thank you for your comment. I'm not surprised, depending on the version of the ESP32 cards. Anyway, the important thing is that you managed to get it working, your comment will be useful to others. Regards.
I had the same problem. Searched for hours but did not find a solution. Until I came across your video and now the upload succeeded. Thank you so much for this info and calming my heartbeat!
There was one more catch for me: during upload I got the errormessage "Wrong boot mode detected". Turns out that this is easily fixed by briefly pressing the 'Boot' button on the ESP board once the upload has started.
I'm so glad I could be of service to you. A testimony like yours is very gratifying, thank you very much. 73 Denis F6CRP

Thank you. This video was very helpful. I managed to upload it to ESP32, so I will move forward.
It's perfect, I'm very happy if this video was useful to you.
Good luck with your project.
Good job Denis ! Simple and eazy to do !
Oh that's so nice Fréderick, thanks a lot for your comment. I hope you are well.
The next video that will be released in the week will describe the receiver on which this VFO is now installed.

Very interesting ! Thanks
Same problem for me . Most helpful Merci Beaucoup
Great !!! I am very happy to have been (a little) useful. Thank you for your message.
Great Scott ! Pretty good job, Denis 👍
Thanks Bernie, did you notice that we hear Sputnik at the beginning of the video?
Thank you !
I have been looking for a solution to the exact same problems with the ESP32 package.
Downgrading was indeed the solution.
BTW, I can confirm that the same problem still exists with the latest version (2.0.9) of the ESP32 package.
73!

Hello Hans, thanks a lot for your message, it's very nice to know that this video was useful. Interesting information about the latest version. Fortunately all previous versions, from 2.05 , work. Have a nice evening.

Amazing . I need one 👍👍👍👍
Yes, it's an excellent achievement designed by our Japanese comrade. Have a nice day!
Thanks for the info, it's very interesting. Where did you purchase all the components?
Thanks for your comment. All components were purchased in China. The ESP32 is a Wroom 32 type but it's not iimportant, there are many types of ESP32.
Excellent Dénis! Not least your English . Congrats…:-) . 73 qro. Pierre, F3WT
You're kidding Pierre :-) Thanks for your comment.
Muito bom a gora é testar
i'm impressed that french can actualy speak english !
Me too 🙂
Best 73 my friend CU AGN SOON !!
Thanks a lot, vy pleased of our CW QSO. 73 Denis
Hello Denise!
I have thoroughly read all posts and your tips on how to deal with this problem.
Unfortunately, when I try to reinstall the ESP32 package, the required version 2.0.5 does not appear
I can only install: 2.0.15, 2.0.11, 2.0.12!?
How to download ver. 2.0.5 ?
Please help.
Hello, I hope you'll understand, my English is elementary.
You need to download the ESP32 packages from your Arduino interface. Proceed as follows:
- from IDE, select "Files -Preferences"
- the last line of the window that opens reads : " Additional boards manager URL", click on the blue icon on the right
- a new window opens. Copy this URL " raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json"
- click on OK
it should work
Hope this helps
At the beginning you showed a square wave, has this caused issues in your project? If so what was your fix action.
Good evening,
no, that wasn't the problem. Square signals are normal, you need to filter this oscillator to get a purer signal.
The problem was that I couldn't compile the code. The process stopped, returning a compilation error.
The cause was a version problem on the ESP32 package.
Hi Denis, I’m struggling and I wonder if you can help me; When I try to install a different version of ESP32 I only get two options; version 2.0.11 and version 2.0.10 there are no other versions available. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Mike
Hello Mike, i think the first thing to do is to install a fresh ESP32 package. You can find the procedure here: Installing ESP32 Add-on in Arduino IDE, follow point 1 and 2 : randomnerdtutorials.com/installing-the-esp32-board-in-arduino-ide-windows-instructions/
Then follow what I've described in the video, uninstall then reinstall.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Denis, that did the trick, i'm so pleased!
I spent about 4 hours going around in circles, I nearly gave up but then thought I'd give you a shout.....I'm so grateful for your help.
73 Mike GM4HCY
I'm so happy. Usually I make videos for my own enjoyment that are of no real interest. For once, this one is useful. Amateur radio is a fabulous hobby.
Keep up the good work Mike.

Thanks, very good information! 73 hope CUAGN !
Thanks, It gives me great pleasure. 73 Denis
Long video's are boring if like long books, films, music, they lack engaging content.
If there is engaging content to say, don't be shy to make long and deep dive video's.
We can always jump ahead on UA-cam, or back, or replay, but if you omit the content, we can't work with what we haven't been given.
I approve :-)
This is the difficulty, not to go too long while not omitting important elements.
Thank you for your comment.
7 GHz ?! Really ??? I didn't think the SI53531 can go that far ...
For sure :-) Where do you heard or read 7 GHz in the video ?
@@radiorider8249it's right there on the LCD in the video. It clearly shows 7.010,93 MHz, which is 7Ghz where I come from ...
@@rudolfusselmann2896 OK I understand. The code was written by a Japanese OM. He used the Anglo-Saxon standard for the point and the comma. That's the reason why. :-)
Working!!! 😁😁😁😁🍺🍻🍺🍻
Good news 👍
