Joe, there are two ways to get USB. The first way is what's offered in Allard's Raduino project which shifts CLK2 to 19MHz. The second way (which I'm going to be doing when life gets outta the way and lets me finish it) is to scrap the current BFO and use CLK0 for the BFO.

Hi,
Myself and Adrian (VK4L) have been working on code developed by PD8W.
We believe it would be a very nice addition to software choices for our
fellow hams.
It works with an atmega 2560, a SI5351, a TFT colour display.
Just plug the display into the atmega and wire up the SI5351 along with
a few buttons.
Easy and that part works great.
After much effort I have been able to make the code work(almost),
It currently has a nice display layout and displays everything fine on
the TFT colour Display.
I tunes the Bitx40 very smoothly( rotary encoder).
I added a button to change the vfo freq time stepping it also works well.
Our goal is to *add USB,* so we can use it for *Digital modes.*
After burning many brains cells, (and at my age, I cannot afford to burn
to many) I cannot seem to get my head around making the code work for USB,
I tried cut and pastes from many codes and still no success.
We are both aware the existing code could be much better structured
From looking around the internet, I don't see any code offering the
functions with a good colour display.
I realize Jack , W8TEE is working on a great project and I have his
boards and parts populated and near ready.
However, this project is different. It offers off the shelf usage of
standard Arduino modules, and a plugin TFT Colour Display, and minimal
components..
Unfortunately, the author is not available for help to finish off a few
items.
It is is a pain to decode, but we are hoping someone can give us a hand
getting over this *1 major issue (adding USB function*).
Once this is done, the code will be completely functional and available
to anyone who would like it.
The additional items to display for tx / rx etc ... should not be a big
issue.
I have attached the code below
Any help would be much appreciated.
