Si5351A/B/C Raw Data Transfer Software

Version 0.2, April 2019
by Électro-Bidouilleur (electro@bidouilleur.ca)

Description

This software allows to manually configure Silicon Laboratories Si5351A/B/C Synthesizer chips when supervised by an Arduino Uno or Nano board. Once the Arduino has received a configuration from this software, it will re-load the Si5351 chip with that same configuration at every power up or reset. The Arduino (properly configured by this software) is required as the Si5351 chip does not retain its configuration when power is removed; it must be re-configured at power up.

The software is written in Python 2.7 programming language. Thus it is fully compatible with the Linux and Windows (7, 8, 10) operating systems. Although it has not been tested, the software should also run properly on the Mac OS.
