[OFARC] LBS (Let's Build Something) Radio Project

[Mike Perkins]

Hi Rick and the group,

As promised these many weeks ago, here are some links to the LBS (Let's 
Build Something) Project.

LBS Basic page at the blog of Pete Juliano (N6QW) :

Sample issue of QRP ARCI's QRP Quarterly, January 2015, containing a 
detailed description of Part 1 of the project, and even more links:

So far, I've got the Arduino - LCD - encoder - clock generator stuff 
done, picture attached.

Some of the parts I'm using:
Inland Arduino Uno R3:

SainSmart 4x20 LCD: 
http://www.microcenter.com/product/442457/IIC-I2C-TWI_Serial_2004_20x4_Yellow_LCD_Module_Shield_For_Arduino_UNO_MEGA_R3
Si5351 board - I'm sure the one from Adafruit 
<http://www.adafruit.com/product/2045> is great, but I'm using the one 
from EtherKit, because this one is available with a TCXO.

A rotary encoder - the one advertised here is the only one I can find 
that looks quite like the one I found at EPO:
