Re: #sbitx disk image for software v2.1 #sBitx

 

Hi Evan,

I'm using a SanDisk Extreme Plus.? A little bit of web searching shows that essentially all "32G" report 29.8.



I can get a 64 tomorrow and try again.

Re: #sbitx disk image for software v2.1 #sBitx

 

Hi Dean,

When burning the image to a Micro Center 32GB card, I encountered the same issue.? Those cards do not have 31.9GB free.? To not waste more money on another card that is not larger than 31.9 GB, I bought a 64gb card and used it.? 64GB will work, as will any card larger than 32 GB.

It would have been nice if Ashhar Farhan had made the image smaller than 30GB so it could be burned to any 32GB card.? The space used on the card is much less than 30GB.

Re: #sbitx_v2 Further to loose clamping screws on P.A MosFETs #sbitx_v2

 

Jb weld will work just make sure not to get it in threads. Clean with alcohol before applying. Put screw in threaded insert before pressing in then take screw out after inserting and let dry. That should keep most of it out of the threads.?

These inserts are never a good option in my opinion.?


Re: SBITx V1 DE

 

Will I need to calibrate the power output levels, or will I be good to key up?


Re: #sbitx disk image for software v2.1 #sBitx

 

Yes, the Raspberry Pi immature version 1.7.4. And I just successfully installed the default pi image with no problem.? ?For your image, I used the "other" image menu and selected the file that was extracted from thr RAR file that you posted.? Your file had no extension so I added a . IMG extension to the end so it would find it.

Re: #sbitx disk image for software v2.1 #sBitx

 

Are you using the imager to burn in the software?

Hi Farhan,

It is a brand new 32G card.

He did indeed.


Re: #sbitx disk image for software v2.1 #sBitx

 

You need a 32 gb card. I guess you are using a smaller size sd card.

Re: Has anyone converted ubitx to work with the sbitx software? #sbitx_v2 #ubitx

 

Thank you Farhan!? I'm going to give it a try.? I have a Pi 3B and Adafruit 7" touch diosplay.? Downloading the sbitx 2 disk image now - see if it works natively on the 3B - else I'll build from source.? And thanks for the offer of the WM8731 codec.? I'm PM you my details.

Re: Has anyone converted ubitx to work with the sbitx software? #sbitx_v2 #ubitx

 

Dean,
VU2IIA has done it?
You have to :
1. Change the tuning code to work with dual conversion (it is in sbitx.c)
2. Add a WM8731 codec (I can send you a board).
3. Change the 11.059 mhz filter to 27 mhz, 25 khz wide filter.

Lawrence, I suggest you consider what was written in message #101717 as a solution.

Petr, I didn't use thermal paste, even though it's in the drawer.
Heat dissipation can certainly be better using the paste.

Re: SBITx V1 DE

 

Get the new sd card image and try it out. This should work anyway. You don't have to bother with most other stuff.
The iambic keying is still iffy, but the rest are very usable.

I know there has been a lot going on behind the scenes, and a large focus on getting the V2 operating properly.? I am hoping you all can help me with my V1 DE.? I have performed what I believe are the most recent upgrades:? upgrading the predriver, bypassing the drivers, setting the PA bias, and installing the T/R board and RTC.

I know there are software tweaks I need to make and settings I need to alter, but to be honest, I don't know where we are in the process.? I am hoping someone can talk to me like I am 5, and guide me through the steps to get my V1 DE on the air again.
