Jim,
Yes, you did - I appreciate the quick response, I'm in negotiations with a recent EE graduate to mentor me though the "1206" part soldering process - I'm good with thru-hole, but this will be something new (I'm at my best poking component leads into red plastic breadboards on archer (radio shack) kits!).
Thanks,
Ken, N2VIP

Hi Ken,
The TSW kit is a replacement for the factory Raduino that's included with a uBITX. Our kit uses the original factory 2.8" TFT color touch display and you have to order a Teensy 4.1 from either PJRC.com or one of their distributors separately. We can't sell the Teensy with the kit as we are not distributors for PJRC and we have to pay full retail for them ourselves. If you do, order the Teensy without pins as it has to mount upside down on the back of the T4.1 Raduino PCB just like the NANO does on the factory PCB.
Once you build the kit, install the Teensy 4.1 and flash the firmware, it takes the place of the Factory's Raduino and VASTLY improves the operation.
The KB/Mouse option needs the addition of a USB type "A" female to 5 pin Dupont female cable for USB "Host" mode, available very inexpensively from PJRC.com and you will need to replace the original USB type B "Mini" with a type B "Micro" extension cable between the MPU and back panel. These should be about 1 foot long and are available from various sources including Amazon.
Hope I've answered your questions.
Jim - W0EB
