ATS25 AMP mistake update

[Mika]

Hello,
I bought an ATS25 AMP. And I've already made a mistake when I wanted to update it to the latest firmware. Now I can't pick up anything, even commercial FM.
I loaded the setting.ini file and uncommented the lines that concerned BT,LNA, Hi-Z but nothing helps. Can you help me?

Hi Mika,
Did you also remember to invert the setting for the antenna selector in the setting.ini
They should be as shown below.

// ======================= Antenna commutator =======================
gpioLW , 0 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise LW band
gpioMW , 0 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise MW band
gpioSW , 0 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise SW band
gpioFM , 1 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise FM band

73, Dave

Hello,
Thanks you, it seems to be working now.
Are there any other interesting parameters to adjust?

For example I can hear the FT8, but the decoding doesn't seem to do, and I don't see it on the waterfall.

Hi Mika,
- For FT8 decoding you need to make sure that the clock on the ATS25 is synchronised.
The clock is automatically set when you are connected to a WIFI network with an Internet connection.

- For CW and RTTY you need to align the signal with the 800 Hz marker (red vertical line) on the waterfall.
(see attached)

The volume level may also need to be adjusted. This sets the input level to the decoder circuit.

ats25amp, The scan function didn't work, and after updating to VR4.17, I couldn't receive data.I fixed the setting file, but the automatic antenna function also didn't work.Please help me.

Hi,
Did you update all of the required lines in the settings.ini file, including the inverted states for the gpio controls?

Change from:
//LNAenable , 26 // LNA enable pin ESP32
//antHiZ , 25 // switching antenna input impedance pin ESP32

//gpioLW , 1 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise LW band
//gpioMW , 1 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise MW band
//gpioSW , 1 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise SW band
//gpioFM , 0 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise FM band

Change to:
LNAenable , 26 // LNA enable pin ESP32
antHiZ , 25 // switching antenna input impedance pin ESP32

gpioLW , 0 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise LW band
gpioMW , 0 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise MW band
gpioSW , 0 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise SW band
gpioFM , 1 // set GPIO1 SI473x when choise FM band

Could you please make a firmware update with the changes? so I can update my Amp.

The ATS25 AMP receiver has a design defect that does not allow the correct use of the stated firmware functions. Therefore, this receiver will not be supported by the firmware.

Hi,
For my understanding would it be possible to provide more details on the specific problem with the ATS25-AMP.
Can the ATS25 AMP hardware be modified to allow the firmware to be used?

If you have this receiver, you may notice that when the battery charge decreases, the decoder stops working. This is due to the improperly organized power supply of the decoder chips. It is required to add a power converter to supply the correct value of the supply voltage of these chips.
