TSW (Triumvirate Skonk Worx, ) has just released an incremental "Bug Fix" version of our 2.8" color TFT Touch screen software which allows touch control, keyboard control and now MOUSE control of the uBITX radio.?
Before you even ask, the 2.8" screen is NOT a Nextion, it's a fair bit cheaper than a Nextion it works only with our BITeensio card which uses a Teensy 3.6 MPU. The BITeensio card, since it uses the far more powerful Teensy 3.6 for the MPU, was not designed for and will not run with the CEC software.
The BITeensio and TSW's software for it runs stand-alone and does not need an external memory manager to change or update any of the user's parameters without having to connect to a computer to do so.? The only two reasons to even hook a computer to the uBITX running with our BITeensio MPU system is to update the firmware or to use the W2CTX remote control program (RCP) to remotely control the uBITX.?
The full source code, operating instructions and current information for this software can be downloaded from the files section (easily accessible from the main page by following the links) of the website.? I've even created a couple of videos outlining the 2.8" screen with our new "mouse control" firmware? that you can view from the website.? They are works in progress and I am not a professional videographer so there are bloops and a mistake or two as well, but the do show a good bit of what the BITeensio with the 2.8" display can do to control the uBITX.
All of our earlier firmware for the original Raduino and any of our newer cards is downloadable from the same website's links to our "files" section.?
BITeensio uBITX controller cards are available in kit form and ordering information is located on the website.? This kit is not really for beginners though it isn't all that difficult to assemble with care and by following the explicit directions in the construction manual.? By the way, all documentation for everything TSW has done for the uBITX is available in PDF format for download in the "documentation" directory of the files section on our website.
