The only technical issue I've run into is upon program reset, the Arduino code transmits garbage out of the serial port. If the amplifier has MAINs power ON, and the garbage string includes the "D" character, the amplifier gets stuck in a firmware Download mode. Electraft makes it WAY TOO EASY for this to happen, so as a standard operating procedure, I recommend you power up this Arduino FIRST, wait 5 seconds, before applying MAINs power to the amp. Reverse on power shutdown.

Note - version Release 3.01 includes delayed output on an I/O pin that may be used to power up serial port as an option instead of powering the serial 232 board off the standard 5v pin.

In the spirit of HAM radio- this code is free. 73s. Be nice.

Here's the WeMos Arduino with WiFi I used for this project:

Finally, my windows 10 laptop lost the driver for the USB port (driver not found). I had to plugged it in first and installed the driver from this website:
