A simple VFO for the Si5351 for either LCD, LCDI2C or OLED
/*
Si5351 VFO
By LA3PNA 27 March 2015
Modified by NT7S 25 April 2015
Modified to be Si5351 Arduino v2 compliant by NT7S 21 Nov 2016
Added LiquidCrystal_I2C support, M0NIL, December 2020.
This version uses the new version of the Si5351 library from NT7S.
see: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/AttachInterrupt for what pins that have interrupts.
UNO and 328 boards: Encoder on pin 2 and 3. Center pin to GND.
Leonardo: Encoder on pin 0 and 1. Center pin to GND.
100nF from each of the encoder pins to gnd is used to debounce
The pushbutton goes to pin 11 to set the tuning rate.
Pin 12 is the RX/TX pin. Put this pin LOW for RX, open or high for TX.
Single transistor switch to +RX will work.
VFO will NOT tune in TX.
LCD connections for for the LinkSprite 16 X 2 LCD Keypad Shield for Arduino.
Change as necessary for your LCD.
IF frequency is positive for sum product (IF = RF + LO) and negative for diff (IF = RF - LO)
VFO signal output on CLK0, BFO signal on CLK2
