Blinkenlight!

Couple of evenings’ work on getting the CTCSS board for the AWA RT85. And good progress. Two issues with the PCB: The GND pin of the Reset pin is not connected to the GND PORTB5 is connected to nothing. Bad luck, it’s the default LED. Fiddling with minipro and Xgpro (in wine) to program the ATmega328P with the Xgecu T48. I programmed a simple blink (on another pin) with the Arduino IDE, and got it to work on the custom PCB by moving the ATmega328. Also did the same by flashing the same hex (with fuses!) with minipro. Ended up flashing the CTCSS code, and confirmed with a dodgy jumpered LED that something was happening on STROBE. Flashing with minipro Useful vid $ minipro -p ATMEGA328@DIP28 -w ~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/avr/1.8.6/bootloaders/atmega/ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328.hex Found T48 00.1.30 (0x11e) Warning: T48 support is not yet complete!
