The first step is to get the SPI bus functioning with everything then we will put the finishing touches on the software. We changed to a new controlling PC and are in the process of integrating it now. No switch failures of any kind have occurred since we have moved to the new design. The vector network analyzer continues to perform very well as do the new RF switches. We have been able to take three inches off of the length of the 4040 which should really make a difference in some shacks. We should have a unit built using this metal shortly and when it is ready I will share images and video on our website. Our newly re-designed sheet metal just arrived which was optimized for size and performance. Lately we have been making numerous high power auto tune tests at high SWR with excellent results. We were able to show the new design at Dayton and aside from some minor issues it performed really well. As many of you know we have completely re-designed the tuner since October. The tuner remains the top priority project at Alpha. Dozens of projects are available for download on the TenTec 506 Rebel Yahoo group. With ample computing power and the Rebel's clever design, your imagination is the only limitation.

The control code is based on the Arduino API, a framework well known for being accessible to beginners and powerful in the hands of an adept.

The Rebel's control software is open source and freely available modify and upload new functionality with MPIDE, chipKIT's free, Arduino derived IDE. With its 32-bit computing environment and 80 MHz processor the Uno32 provides users with a fast and accurate sandboxing environment.
The Rebel 506 utilizes a chipKIT Uno32 prototyping board which give users access to an Arduino-based programming environment. Once installed you can view the the code which is bundled as a MPIDE project (.pde extension). If you want to examine the Rebel's code you'll need to download the MPIDE first.
