I believe these pigments are still available at craft stores in small bottles. First you have to determine whether the 5351 is drifting up or down on startup. If it goes up, apply a little infrared paint to the left side of the board. If down, you need a little ultraviolet on the right side. Try for paint dots of about 1 square millimeter. Several tries may be needed to get the last of the drift out. Be careful not to spill the paint lest the entire set disappear.Chip V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11737481197033996679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-21003207588135692382019-04-05T01:27:29.734-04:002019-04-05T01:27:29.734-04:00Those .h and .cpp header files have always been re...Those .h and .cpp header files have always been responsible for all kinds of crazy problems.

Info there IS good and I appreciate his explorations. Case in point.. in this topic of the frequency being injected into the Triton IV 544 I will be working on some more digital frequency generators over the next while and LO and BEHOLD a box fell off of the desk and in it was an 8 pin OCTAL plug - just the thing for injecting a signal into my Triton IV (not sold at the last hamfest...so I am keeping it for now!).<br />Tnx to Pete and keep on keeping on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-6889603465170675252019-04-03T07:13:52.900-04:002019-04-03T07:13:52.900-04:00I didn’t do it, and am not having the same problem...I didn’t do it, and am not having the same problem with my beloved S38.

I was having fits trying to program a Nano and ended up corrupting all my other sketches.<br />In frustration I contacted Pete for some tribal knowledge. The virus must have bled through in my email. :)<br />In the end I managed to eradicate the virus and all is good now.<br />The virus?? called 'Head in ... (very dark place)'<br />Lesson learned? Don't be so fast to blame the computer, IDE, Arduino, si5351. Don't forget the most basic of trouble shooting and look first to the builder.<br />So there it is Pete...I take the blame. Maybe you will come back to us now.<br />:)wa7hrghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841165710350568166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-87507999687089531012019-04-02T13:22:44.923-04:002019-04-02T13:22:44.923-04:00I've found the culprit...,the chief engineer o...I've found the culprit...,the chief engineer of the PTO manufacturer.
