Your Tuning Knob?
Really Modern looking.
Don't see set screw hole?

Simplify3D loaded it fine.

It depends on his Cura software setup.? I don't have to scale using Simplify3D.

The stl files are created by Solidworks and are standard.

There are lots of YouTube Videos on Cura for him to watch.

I use 40% and ABS at 225D with bed at 110D.

Every one has to adjust things to get satisfying results.

3D printing is sometimes really "iffy"!

Thanks for the files.? I will try them.

Hint:? You may need to open up the serial port tab in the IDE and set the baud rate to 57600!? THEN it should work.

Mike,

Once the Arduino IDE opens up and you can see all the code, make sure you have the Raduino plugged into a USB port and then go to the upper tab named 'Tools" and choose "Board" then select Arduino Nano. Next, goto "Tools" and select "Port", now select your USB port you have the Raduino plugged into. Now you are ready to see if the code will compile. Click the check mark in the upper left hand corner and wait until it finishes saying 'compiling sketch'. If everything is okay it will report 'Done compiling'. If you have made it this far you are ready to upload the new firmware to your Raduino. Now click the --> button at the top of the window and it should upload the Sketch into the Arduino. When it's done it will say 'Upload complete' and you are good to go. Let us know how you get on.

Re: Speaker Jack

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

You could use the second audio amp in U1. ?The TDA2822 is a dual amplifier. ?What you¡¯d need to do is this:

Remove R75
Connect U1-6 to VOL-H. ?This will give you an auxiliary sound output that is independent of the volume control.
Connect the + terminal of a 470 ?F, 16V electrolytic capacitor to U1-3.
Connect the - terminal of the above cap to your auxiliary out mini jack.

The 470 ?F could very likely be much smaller, depending on the input impedance of your Signal Link.
Experiment, it won¡¯t hurt.

You may also want to add a resistor divider between the cap and jack to reduce the signal strength, depending on how much your Signal Link can tolerate.

Considering the problem others are having with the TDA2822 you probably should add a resistor in series with the cap, unless you implement the resistor voltage divider, that will provide the same protection.

Yes, the yellow wire is the full signal from the product detector. Check your volume potentiometer to ensure it¡¯s connected to the end (orange should be on middle lug). I would think your external amplifier has a capacitor input on it, so I don¡¯t think another cap is necessary. Check to see if DC is present across the volume pot when the side tone is activated.
Ok The yellow wire does not have enough audio for my Signal Link to work with.? it showed some signals.? I have to reconnect to the 3.5mm Audio Out jack and turn the volume up about half way.? which is too loud for my headphones so I need to install a second 3.5mm for my Head Phones.??

I would be much better if I could find a way to get enough audio separate from the actual audio out to the 3.5mm jack

Re: ubitx standoffs #parts

 

Thanks Mike. I have an old PrinterBot Simple Makers Edition (last of the laser cut wood kits). I've mod'd it to have a larger print volume and those parts are printed in PLA so if I add a heated bed it would melt! LOL!
I want to try that ProtoPasta HTPLA - you can 'bake' it in the oven to make it more temperature resistant. Going to try some samples from them.?

Your knobs where going to be my first attempt to print something because they seemed small and useful for one of my BITX radio! :-))

Any suggestions?

Could have some RF capability.?? I know Florida DOT has fiber running in the Turnpike and Interstate rights-of-way.? The citizen call boxes are RF, but the cameras I see on top of the poles do not appear to have any RF.? According the company website they say they are IP based, but who knows.

It is all in scaling, Cura may think the units are MM?.? In inches the tuning knob is 1.2".? The volume is 0.625".? So if you don't see those sizes your software is set up wrong.? Some programs automatically scale.? Others printed the knobs and had the same problem.? They fixed it in Cura with settings.? I use Simplify3D, so I can't help with Cura.? I am sure someone on this list uses Cura?


Hit YouTube also?

Stephen:? Glad you scored a couple of the cases.?? Have not seen a better case for the uBitX or BitX40. One of the best things about the case is way it is constructed.

Pulled down all of the cases from the shelf at Skycraft and saw the different configurations. The case I bought had no heat sinking, so I doubt (at least with my case) had any RF capability.? Guess there might have been several different variations/pieces of the IP Video Surveillance System that used the same case. Only a guess....
