All of the following is still PRELIMINARY
The following is a project to further explain and clarify
the confusing information
presented in chapters 11 and 12 of the book :
Microcontroller Projects for Amateur Radio by Jack Purdum, W8TEE
I would like to hear from anyone who has successfully built either the Pre or Post versions.
To get the current book
software source files from the
SoftwareControlledHamRadio@groups.io site make sure that you are logged
in and can download the two links below: [see NOTE]
NOTE: As
of 8/15/2021, I can not
recommend the files below as it is obvious that they have many errors and
definitely do not resemble anything published in the Ch11 & 12 of the book.

I have finally made some progress and have updated results that still need more work, especially on the software. I am on the third rewrite of the instructions to install the Portable version of the Arduino IDE with the Teensy add in [will be posted here when finished]. The software issues coupled with the unusual naming conventions and file structure [especially for the Linux instructions] led to this rewrite and simplification.
The correct Portable installation is especially nice as you can take a flash drive or a USB portable hard drive [The hard drive is necessary for Linux due to permissions that do not work on a FAT formatted flash drive] and run the IDE on any compatible Windows or Mint Linux system. Truly PORTABLE ! Verified on multiples of each Win7, Win10 and Linux boxes.
I need to note here that there was a minor rant on the Software Controlled Ham Radio group that any library with the "- master" appended must have this removed before installing the library and also mentioned in the ManualLibraryInstallation.doc in the files area of the groups.io web site. Fortunately, at least in the Portable Installations, this is not the case IF YOU FOLLOW THE IDE INSTRUCTIONS [or mine, as the case may be]. If you read carefully the doc file mentioned above, you will fine out that it does not follow the instructions in the IDE and does a manual install instead of the system [automatic] installation. In any case all of my Arduino, and Teensy libraries are installed in the proper locations and many have the "-master" appended and compile properly - after following the instructions.
Chapter 11 Post Processor Chapter 12 Pre Processor after rotating the screen
I have created several circuit boards to simplify the wiring and revised the schematics
to be more representative of the actual hardware and the supplied & modified software.
Some changes were made to the pin assignments which will affect the software.

There was a group buy of three PCB's below in April from JLCPCB and all have been distributed.
There are Gerber files for the three above and two additional
T4_Extension_04012021.zip Extender Board Gerbers
Display_Interface_04012021.zip Display Adapter Gerbers
SW_LED_8Pl_04052021.zip 8 Push Button Board Gerbers errors on board
SW_LED_4Pl_04042021.zip 4 Push Button Board Gerbers error on board
Basically
top half of
the 8 Button Board. Two would be required. None were ordered.
On the 8 Button Board positions 1 and 5 the + lead of the LED's
were connected to the wrong switch pin.
On the 4 Button only position 1
was wrong. New gerbers below.
Cut the + lead of the LED away from the
bottom pin and connect to the middle pin on 1 & 5 positions.
Make them
connect like they are below. Traces are in Green on bottom side of pcb.

The following documents were distributed to the individuals in the Group buy

I am currently working on a detailed set of instructions
for installing the portable
version of the Teensyduino into the Arduino IDE for both Windows and
Linux.
This is taking a lot more time than I had anticipated.
I am behind on construction of the PCBs so that I can
verify the software provided.
I have been able to compile/verify both CH 11 &
12 with some minor changes.
There were no issues with the "-master" in the
downloaded zipped Github Libraries
when following the IDE instructions
for "Add Zip Library" in the Portable installations.
