Re: uBITX Firmware (CEC) 0.30 released (Test version). #ubitx


Dave Bottom
 

Hi Ian,

Great, thanks for the extra explanation.

I have been using the v.31 a bit this evening and I like the changes.

Band Change
I found one anomaly that when I set a frequency on any given band and I change bands it comes back to the last used frequency on that band when I return (as it does with most modern transceivers) which is great, however I noticed when returning to 80M rather than returning to the last used frequency it returns to the last frequency set with the CAT interface (not currently connected).

CW Keying
It appears when measuring the Key value that it takes a long time for this value to settle. As though discharging a capacitor.? This I believe might be the issue I am having currently when I get a Dash instead of a Dot on first press of the paddle.? I haven't proved this positively yet however this is the case on both Dot and Dash paddle measurements, and I do have the Keying adapter in place.? I'll remove it and test again.

Of course.?When the firmware is complete, I will upload manual.

I will briefly describe the ADC measurements.
ADC measurements can be used in many ways.
You can reduce the error of CW Key in the present concept.?
Read ADC (A6) value to determine DOT, DIT and straight.

However, as you know, if you divide the voltage by a resistor, the accuracy is low.
So the program has a bigger adc range. (ex: 0 ~ 300 : straight, 300 ~ 600 : dot, 600~800 : Dash)

Therefore, depending on the CW key management state, it may happen that the output is wrong.

By using the ADC measurements function in the uBITX menu, you can check the incoming value for each key.
In uBITX Manager, if you set the key judgment range small, the error will decrease.

Another use is to use it in the hardware modification concept.?I still think about it, but now there is only one A7 spare pin left.
I want to add S.meter and connect various function keys (mode change, band up / band down, vfo to memory, memory to vfo ...).
If I put together things that are not likely to be pressed at the same time, I can secure as much I / O as I need.


First, there is an emphasis on reducing the errors of CW Key.

uBITX ADC Range measurement and adjustment CEC v0.31 firmware

Ian ,

Could you post a description of how to use the ADC Measurement and Adjustment?

I have not posted it on my blog separately since it is a test version. When the test is complete, ?write a usage and post it.
I am writing for someone who is interested and test.? If I get an error report or a fix, I'll fix it and make it into github's 0.31 branch.

Here is a brief description of the change from 0.30.
improved CW Keying, Frequency Tune and CW performance according to users' requirements.
In particular, CW Keying applied ron's logic for use with original hardware. also made it possible to set the CW Key ADC range to reduce errors in CW.
ADC monitoring function is added to know the exact resistance and key contact status.
I thought that if you set your own ADC range using the measured values here, you would get an error.?I need to test these things, so I leave this post.

removed all existing sources related to frequency tune.?And i applied threshold, weight about speed, and steps. The problem of changing the frequency at the moment of catching the knob has probably disappeared. when the threshold has been exceeded, start frequency changing,?i added some logic to prevent the thresholds from becoming unnatural.
If you want to fine-tune, slowly turn it and the threshold will be applied continuously and change very slowly.
The tune steps you can select now are 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, but you can change them in uBITX Manager 0.31 (now working)
You can change the step by pressing the function key for a long time. If you keep pressing it, Diallock will work.

The ham band movement applied at 0.28 was set to 0.30, so that region1 was set as the default.
Of course, you can change to the previous operation state by pressing the function key in the band select menu for a long time.
And like the 0.28 version, you can set up to 10 frequency bands in uBITX Manager to suit your country or your liking.

Please refer to below for the improvements and how to upload firmware and more detail.
The source and compiled firmware can be found in the release below link.
