What encoder and what are the symtoms?

Jack,
That fixed the problem on this end. No compile errors now.
The only issue I have now is a flaky encoder.

Take a look at mine; It's pretty simple. And yes, I would clear-coat it. I always used clear Krylon on all my antennas. ? -- John - WA2FZW

Re: preview: Raduino v1.25 with capacitive touch CW keyer
Maybe a straight key functionality could be added, so touching either contact would be like closing the key contacts(for as long as you are touching). Then we wouldn't need to bring along a straight key for SKCC contacts etc. You would just tap with your finger.? 73, AL - VE3RRD

Yeah, that's exactly why I added this functionality. I believe it may add lot of value to BitX users who want to use it for field operations. 73 Allard PE1NWL

Re: preview: Raduino v1.25 with capacitive touch CW keyer
BTW, I've used a CT keyer for several years now and the really nice thing about them is that you don't have to drag a set of paddles with you when you're out in the field. Here's
 one we built using an ATTiny85 and two solder lugs for the paddles. (That's a Digispark board with sidetone buzzer and makes a cheap code practice oscillator, too.)

Hi Allard, I just watched your youtube video. Your capacitive keyer mod is outstanding! Good job!

Re: W8TEE Software Release 1.07-09
The gap may be larger or non-existent, depending on the size of the display. You could just define a symbolic constant (e.g., XOFFSET) and set it to some pixel count and then find all the x coordinate calls and add it to it which would center the display. The other alternative is to change screenBoxWidth around line 1500 in setup(). I think I defined most of the positions relative to the width and height of each box....I guess you'll find out!

Complied and loaded fine once I added the DigitalWriterFast library. Screen has a gap on the right side but I'll fix that. You surprised me with the RTC. Gotta get one of them.  don

Re: W8TEE Software Release 1.07-09
Have no idea how old it is, but it should be compatible in any case. As it turns out, that was an experiment I was trying. I'm no longer actually calling the library code...I just forgot to remove it. I have posted the latest version (1.07-10) on the group site that does not use the ditigalWriteFast library.

Re: Multiband bitX40 questions
In another thread I got the following response.
Hi, I done some extension to latest raduino firmware to operate in multiband mode.?
If you need the code is available here:. ?
Ready to compile and load.
A special function work in Place of rit, when push two times you change band 80 40 20 15 and 10.
In the code follow the section market as MULTI_BAND to see the mods.
Now I operate with a dual band bitx using QrpLabs LPF and BPF mounts on sockets.
Bye. IK8YFW.
I have not yet tried the sketch but have been using Allards sketches with the mods outlined on his github page?
Good luck

Re: Yet another magnetic loop antenna
Speaking of LOOPS!
I got this done (this far) last week!? It is 2
1/2' sections, so 20 ft. of 3/4" copper.? About 76" high?
The mounting for the Vac C is 1/8" copper plate,
scrap off eBay.? Cap is 30-200pF and eBay too.
I used Cu. Unions, so I can take the Cap out and
disassemble for moving it.? It comes apart in 20 seconds.
I am really surprised how well it receives
sitting under the shed roof on the ground.
No, tuner yet?? A future project.? I am wondering
now before it turns GREEN whether I should put clear spay paint
on it?
About $200 so far.

preview: Raduino v1.25 with capacitive touch CW keyer
Hi,
I'm currently working on raduino v1.25 which adds capacitive touch keyer functionality.
A minimal modification (add two resistors) will be required for this function.
See the preview at
To be released soon (still cleaning up the code and doing final tests)

Function Button with Allard Munters code (v1.24)
#bitx40help
Hi -?
I have installed amunters code on my newly built Bitx40 and the first thing I wanted to try was to swap out the one-turn 10k pot for a 10-turn 10k pot and to install the function button. The pot itself seems to work properly however when I press the function button I get garbage characters on the screen. I can make out some characters and words but it's mostly unreadable. Has anyone else seen this? I've tried searching through the forum but I can't find anyone else with this issue.
Thanks
