July 19th, 2008 ARDF Timer / Controller
The ARDF controller was created after a request to be able to play random audiofiles for an ARDF transmitter, most existing designs were based on an 16F84, a somewhat aging design and better controllers are currently available. Also most controllers had a 5-10 mA current drain which can be improved, this design requires less than 400 uA.
To allow a very small controller footprint and flexible configuration the timer is not configured with (dip) switches but via a serial connection and a host PC. The memory option is optional and is only required for a wave file playback, all other options (CW, Single Tone, Tone Sequences and Audio Effects) do not require the I2C memory chip.
