Hi gang,
Ron, W2CTX and I (W0EB) have been steadily working on fixing some of the
CW problems with the uBITX software and also changing the tuning over
from the accelerated tuning for band change, etc. We found that this
method, while liked by some was difficult for some of us to tune to the
frequency we wanted so we set it up with a cursor under the digit to be
tuned using the encoder button to step the cursor position. We also
used the spare (A7) line as the dash input for the keyer (you have to
add another 4.7K pullup resistor, this time to the A7 input). The
zipfile complete with all files for compiling and uploading to the uBITX
with the Arduino IDE (version 1.8.5 or later on the IDE). If you have
your IDE set up right, it should compile without errors and upload to
the uBITX just fine.
The CW Keyer module uses code that came from the open source Ten-Tec
Patriot and Rebel code and the timing has been corrected so that the
paddles work properly and all the available speeds from real slooooow to
50 wpm. I've been using this code on the air for over a week without a
problem.
We also re-ordered the menu(s) and added a few items that are all
explained in the manual included in the zip file.
Ron and I sincerely hope this program version will allow you to work CW
much better and it addresses some of the requests for features that are
different from what was supplied in the initial version that came loaded
in the factory uBITX.
Jim Sheldon, W0EB for Ron, W2CTX and myself
