[thorn rain]

looking for help with building a 2m 6m basic interface.

I have some basic code but need to get it working with adifruit_si5351.py for 2m to start

here is the basic code I have

updated version

What problems are you having? Are you getting error messages? What microcontroller boards are you using. The more information you provide, the easier it is for people to help.

raspi pico

[silk smelt]

You appear to be using several pins for more than one thing ```display_bus = displayio.FourWire(spi, command=board.D8, chip_select=board.D10, reset=board.D9)
display = adafruit_ili9341.ILI9341(display_bus, width=320, height=240)

Setup I2C for Si5351

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
si5351 = adafruit_si5351.SI5351(i2c)

Define pins

ENC_A = board.D8
ENC_B = board.D7
ENC_SWITCH = board.D6
STEP_SWITCH = board.D5
RIT_ENC_A = board.D10
RIT_ENC_B = board.D9
RIT_ENC_BTN = board.D11``` D8,D9, D10 are used in two places.

and currenlty on the display we haveits not displaying

post code 1 min

this is the current version with the display we have inhand

as I am new to circuitpython I am going on what I am reading

[silk smelt]

Are you getting any erro messages at the REPL?

[thorn rain]

at the serial console now

but not seeing any error reported

I need to read more on gettting logs and reports

so is it main.py or code.py the file should be names

[silk smelt]

It might be best to just try one piece at a time -- try just getting the display to work. then add more

either main.py or code.py will work -- just don't use both 😉

[thorn rain]

ok

it had a main.py my code and a code.py with hello world in it

[silk smelt]

If you are using main.py, remove the code .py

[thorn rain]

I just did

[silk smelt]

I have to check on which is used first, but if it report "Hello World" the the main.py is not getting executed

[thorn rain]

no errors on the console

code.py output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "code.py", line 8, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'adafruit_ssd1306'

so I have to get the lib

where to find the python libs

[silk smelt]

they are in the "bundle" see https://circuitpython.org/libraries

[thorn rain]

so just cp them into the lib dir

[silk smelt]

You may want to review this guide https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython

[thorn rain]

ok

[silk smelt]

essentially -- yes

[thorn rain]

doing it now

the hard part is having 2 weeks to prove this project. we have a board. but they based it on the si570 and there is no libs

[silk smelt]

Good luck!

You have a lot going on in your code. I suggest working on one piece at a time then combine them. You may get help from different people for different parts.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "code.py", line 11, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SCL'

[silk smelt]

The is no "predefined" SCL/SDA pin for the pico -- you have tell it what GPxx pin your are using for SCL/SDA

I don't see where that Line 11 is that is using SCL?

[thorn rain]

for the si5351 and the display

[silk smelt]

you are using GP5 and GP4 -- where does it refer to SCL?

i2c = busio.I2C(board.GP5, board.GP4)```

you posted two sets of code -- which one are you using?

[thorn rain]

this is the current code

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "code.py", line 11, in <module>
RuntimeError: No pull up found on SDA or SCL; check your wiring

its wrong pins

i need to get the pins for the display

[silk smelt]

That can't work with a PICO -- there are no Dx pins -- use GPxx

[thorn rain]

https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-OLED-2.23

[silk smelt]

also using the correct pins will help 😉

[thorn rain]

it seems all the pins need changed

[silk smelt]

yes

Taht appears to be an SSD1305, not SSD1306, correct?

[thorn rain]

its a 1305

its a 1306 sorry

gp7 and gp6

[silk smelt]

the adafruit_ssd1306 library is not meant for use with displayio. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_DisplayIO_SSD1306/

There is a non-displayio verions also https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_SSD1306/ but you apear to be using displayio

[thorn rain]

I rm it

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "code.py", line 10, in <module>
RuntimeError: No pull up found on SDA or SCL; check your wiring

I replaced the lib

all the pins they set are wrong I will have to change

but I am reading the page you posted for review

[silk smelt]

according to https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-OLED-2.23 -- the default is to use SPI, did you configure it for I2C ?

https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-OLED-2.23#I2C

[thorn rain]

Iwas told it was i2c it muct be a spi

so now I have to figure that out

[silk smelt]

Since none of the problems you are having at this point are "radio" related, you may find more general help in #help-with-projects as you try to get each piece working. In general you should not "cross-post" to more that one channel, but you may find a broader audience there. I first suggested #help-with radio since I thought you were looking for radio-speciic help. Once you have the board and pins straightend out, I suggest posting in #help-with-projects with more questions

[thorn rain]

closer why they used digital pins I dont know

[thorn rain]

pic of what I have done

smeter function needs work and a few small items but the freq works rit works step works but needs button wired up for testing

once you get the gist of circuitpy its really easy

I also have to work on the audio in and out

[thorn rain]

so I have 99% of code working . but how to store the current freq and recall if power off and back on
