Re: sbitx external T/R
Delete the user_settings file (or rename it to get it out of the way) and redo the pull.? On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 2:02 PM John Terrell, N6LN <N6LN@...> wrote: I went to folder sbitx and ran git pull. Aborted. Here is the error msg: |

Re: Need replacement Raspberry Pi image
John,
can you read in "Updating the sBitx The sBitx like all open source software is constantly getting bug fixes and being updated. To get the latest version in, these are the steps: 1.Connect the sBitx to the Internet through Wifi or the Ethernet. Read https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#configuring-networking 2. Open the terminal by either pressing letter T on the keyboard while holding Ctrl and Shift down or clicking on the black terminal icon on the desktop. 3. In the terminal, use cd command to move to the sbitx directory: ??? cd /home/pi/sbitx 4. Then execute git pull: ??? git pull Now, the latest software sources will be on your sbitx., 5. Compile the new sources ./build sbitx (Note that there is a dot before /build) Now, close the terminal and run the new version of sBitx!. " -- Gyula HA3HZ |
Re: sbitx external T/R
Depends on the amp TR switching requirement.? Most want a contact to
ground to put it in TX mode. Grabbing the +12 TX line and buffering it with 2n7000 would be suitable for most amps where the open circuit voltage is under 24V.? ?For some of the older amps with 120V relay switching something more robust will be needed.

Re: Need replacement Raspberry Pi image
I downloaded a new image onto a new SD card. The system boots just fine. but when I start sbitx from the command line this is the error I get back:
sbitx v1.0 Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (sbitx:985) :? Gtk-WARNING? **:22:13:33.268: cannot open display: pi@raspberrypi:~/sbitx?$ Also, about upgrading the sBitx code: what is the cmd line procedure to use? git clone https:// asks for a username and password but then I find that github no longer uses passwords. What's the trick? |
Another approach is to use 2 screens. I run sbitx on the small screen of the transceiver and then have a large 42 inch TV hooked to the micro HDMI port of the rPi. I use a mouse to control everything.
This allows me to run wsjt-x and gridtracker for digital modes (as well as js8call) and all other Pi maintenance stuff in a larger, easy to read space. |

I am always impressed with how tactful Ashhar's posts are, perhaps he should consider a career as a diplomat. On Tue, Sep 27, 2022 at 01:28 AM, Ashhar Farhan wrote:

Re: sBitx VNC
I found a way to do it.? Don't specify VNC in the raspi-config settings. This sets the server to duplicate the touch screen which is 800x480.? Instead start a virtual screen. From a command line (I use ssh):? vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1280.
Then in the vnc viewer, connect to the :1 screen.? This is a separate screen from the one on the touchscreen. I've noticed that even though the screen is larger and the sbitx app is designed for 800x480, it comes up in full screen. Is there a way to start sbitx in a window? Mark |

Re: removing self from bitx20 forum
开云体育Gerry,You are not alone but this hobby always seems to offer something fun and enjoyable, even if it’s just the coffee slurping fellowship of older hams at a MacDonalds. ?Last night our club presentation was about an impending problem (a piece of our antenna building up with ice and falling 400 feet into the roof of the newsroom at the TV station down below) we may have with our repeater antenna 400 feet up a TV station tower and how to raise the $2500 we will need to fix it. ?We also met with two younger kids who are studying for their Tech license. ?I helped carry many boxes of radio equipment that a local ham is selling to our club to clear out his shack before his “time” comes. ?And another younger ham brought over a “chair” he had 3D printed to hold my handheld and a pad of paper and pens. I would call it a successful ?day in the life of an old ham. ?I can still build kits but that day is slowly ending…. This hobby still brings ideas to think about to my brain, something to occupy idle time in my day, and a warm feeling to my heart as I lie down at night. ?Not to mention all the friends I have made with my comments to some of these email groups…. St Peter doncha call me cuz I am too busy…..? Dave K8WPE since 1960 David J. Wilcox’s iPad On Sep 27, 2022, at 11:49 AM, Gerald Sherman <ve4gks@...> wrote:

Re: sBitx 151 is alive!

Re: sBitx 151 is alive!
开云体育The local hardware usually has some metric screws as they are more and more found in equipment made in other countries. But you would be better served to just order a kit of various metric screws from eBay. ?I have been collecting screws and other mini parts for years whenever I took something apart to see how it worked, so when I need some metric screws I usually can find some.?Dave K8WPE?

Re: sBitx VNC
Open Terminal and type
sudo raspi-config go down to Display Options Down to VNC Resolutions (The wording varies to the os, I use 64 bit os if I remember rightly the 32 bit one says something different but it is pretty obvious) I don't have an sbitx (yet) but all my radio stuff is done using a pi4 via vnc? Richard G7OED |
