Yes, there are minor changes between versions. One has to research here to catch up before breaking out the soldering iron. That's the same as any other project. Two years out of date isn't an issue - how long has HF Signals been shipping that version?
? Where are you finding a 15 pin connector on the BITX? My V6.1 and V6.2 have an 18 pin connector on the board for the Raduino to plug into. The connector for the LCD has 14 pins. As the nextion uses 4 wires and isn't plugged into the uBITX directly...
Here's results of a quick Google search. Top hit is a how-to for installing a Nextion in a V6 uBITX:
The only thing different now relative to a Nextion display is the availability of a new 'advanced' display. Best to look for posts here as a couple of folks here are using that display.
? ? Enjoy the research and learning - it's what these radios are all about!

Thanks, Andy. So many online resources are two years out-of-date. The ubitx.net page hasn't been updated in nearly two years as far as I can tell. For example, the info for upgrading to the Nextion display refers to a 14-pin connector, but the connector on the uBitx I received has 15 pins. Likewise, the pc board layout is different enough from v5 (I think) that some add-ons for v5 don't fit properly. For example, I bought an AGC board, but when I went to install it, I noticed the main board layout is different. I want to pull together all the things that really work with the v6 kit.?
