SSB6.1 tranceiver with separate UI

I worked on getting a minimalist user interface working with the microView, a optical encoder, and a single button.  The button cycles through the 6 bands.  I did not add any debouncing code so each button press can result in one or several band changes; it makes selecting the band a bit challenging.  I'll work on integrating the SX1509 I/O expander during the next build.

The minimal user interface is on its own breadboard

The microView interacts with the Arduino pro mini via the TTL serial port.  The band button causes the uView to send commands to set the band and frequency while turning the encoder sends delta frequency commands.  On the display I show the band, the frequency the UI thinks is correct, and the frequency the DDS actually is generating.  So far the 2 controllers seem to keep in sync but I did incorporate a syncing mechanism to make sure they are.
