Hi,
Does someone have the description of the i²c protocol for the comtech modules?
I need to write some code to set the frequency...
Any help?
thanks

Re: comtech module i²c protocol
My idea is to make a atv scanner with comtech rx module.
Our atv relay has 3 inputs on 13cm: 2330,2360 and 2390 Mhz
(-900 for downconverter: that makes 1430,1460,1490 Mhz L-band down)
Now there are 3 analogue sat receivers 24/7 qrv.
This takes away a lot of power (24/7 365d)
What i want to do is scan the 3 freq's. if there is signal on one of them. switch on the correct receiver... for a certain time
I detect signal with the s-meter output of the comtech module.
So the comtech module will not be used for its video output... but rather just for the signal detect...
I hope this will save me on power usage...

Re: comtech module i²c protocol
I think it's easy to do, you just need a uC pic like 16f628, which sends the command to comtech i2c module, which receives a certain time (eg 10 seconds) one of the three channels, and takes 10 seconds, routine checks the level of a digital input, if it is high, then a digital logic one to the corresponding receiver for a period of time, the output s-meter module should be connected previus to a comparator opamp output is activated, to discriminate the noise.
