• Dual-Mercury/Angelia Program download page
• Triple-Mercury Programs
  • Triple-Mercury Program Directional Steering download page (this program also works for directional steering with only two Mercury boards present on the Atlas bus)
  • Triple-Mercury Direction Finding Program (triple Mercury boards/antennas are supported)
• ANGELIA FIRMWARE:
  • Angelia_v1.8 implements up to 7 independent receivers using dual ADCs (Note: temporarily, version number will report as v2.3, until HPSDRProgrammer is fixed)
  • output_file.pof contains the recovery file, output_file.pof, to enable re-installation of the Angelia bootloader program into the Angelia EPCS-128 EEPROM using a USB blaster cable and the Quartus II qprogrammer program.

NOTES:

• It is suggested that if you do not currently have the W5WC PowerSDR v2.2.3 program running on your machine that you download and install W5WC's program first to ensure that the FlexRadio Systems folder exists on your machine. PowerSDR v2.2.3.dual_Mercury uses files in that folder.

• The small (temporary) HPSDR LPU power supply does not supply sufficient current to the Atlas bus to support multiple Mercury boards, Metis or Ozy or Magister, Excalibur, and Penelope simultaneously. Please ensure that you use a power supply capable of supplying the required current at 5 VDC if you wish to run multiple Mecury boards on your Atlas bus. To check that your pocer supply is sufficient, measure the 5 VDC line on the Atlas bus to verify that it is actually 5V when all of your boards are in place and running on the bus.
• Communications protocol document (suggested v1.35)

 

• USING HPSDR AS A SIGNAL GENERATOR:

  Use the OpenHPSDR PowerSDR menu setting in Setup > Hardware config > Region: select "EXTENDED" to enable Tx on any frequency. Alternatively, you may run PowerSDR from a command line and use the "--allowOOBxmit" option.

CAUTION: It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not inadvertently radiate transmissions outside legally authorized amateur radio bands!
