I just looked at the radiono code I downloaded when this list first
started and found this line:
IMPORTANT, the wire.h is modified so that the internal pull up resisters
are not enabled.
This is required to interface Arduino with the 3.3v Si570's I2C
interface.
routines to interface with si570 via i2c (clock on analog pin 5, data on
analog pin 4) */
Does this mean that the comment was already done at that time and I
don't need to take any other action.  Jerry K5LRU

Yes you need the wire.h modification at the moment. I am sure we will
find a better way to do this soon. Until then, make sure you do that
change!

You can buy any cheap usb-to-serial adapter. Does not matter. Should
cost less than $10. Just make sure it works well with your operating
system.

 Does it means no need to use modified wire.h as long as I use same chip
and Farhan's code Jerry ?

 From the way I understand it, Mark didn't use the ATMega328P chip, he
 used a different ATMega chip. The code that Farhan wrote was for the
328
 chip.  I don't think you have to make any changes to that. Maybe I'm
 wrong, but it is something we need to make clear. Jerry K5LRU

 Hi Mark,
 
 So it's not as simple as I think .
 To buy chip w/ bootloader already loaded was easy to find. But then
 programmed it using Uno board is not my expectation, I think from the
 beginning you got proven that the chip could be programmed using usb to
 serial.
 
 What I want to know is the type of the usb to serial converter cable
you
 use. Other is what kind of bootloader to be loaded.
 
 My conclusion is that from the beginning the chips should have been
 loaded w/ bootloader, fully blank chip could not been loaded a
 bootloader by this system. I may be wrong..
 
 Hope Farhan or other in this forum who has done this method could
 explain more detail.
 
 Yes, I have read your wire.h modification even I do not fully
understand
 due to my limited knowledge to Arduino.
 
 Thanks for your explanation Mark. It is valuable to me.

 Hi
 
 1. I bought some chips with Arduino bootloader already loaded from eBay
 months ago and used one of them
 2. no - I put chip into Uno board, programmed it and then pulled out
 chip and put into stripboard socket - I will use usb to serial later
 3. yes - but i modified the wire.h library files as I documented on the
 wiki. I also changed the function button code as discussed on the
forum.
 I can publish code changes again if needed.

  Hello Mark,
 
  Please tell me that you have succesfully load the Radiono.ino sketch
to
 the processor board you build on stripboard and boxed. All the
 controller feature works well is'n it ?
 
  Inform me :
 
  1. What kind of bootloader you loaded to the Atmega chip
 
  2. Did you use usb to serial port cable converter to load the sketch ?
 
  3. The sketch developed by Farhan and upload in GitHub was completely
 works without some revision.
 
  I will start to build like your's while I get to find Si570.

 Morning Team
 
  I've started to construct a case for the project here:
 
  http://g0mgx.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/boxing-to-minima.html
 
  and also built the processor board on some stripboard and mounted it
  behind the LCD here:
