Yes, it works. Feel free to use the File Manager.
First you copy it to a USB stick, then back to the new SD card.

ubitx version 5 board photos

 

I recently received a version 5 ubitx that was damaged in shipment.? The speaker came loose in the case and broke some of the filter inductors loose from the board.? Is there a photo of this area to help in re-installing the inductors? Thanks.

Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

So how does this “install” onto the sd card then? I am not fluent in these sorts of activities so I need a little help getting the disk written. Do you have a txt document detailing how to do this?

Please go ahead and test it, sharing your thoughts afterward. Consider this a beta version, pending improvements based on the feedback I receive.. I've included sBITX Toolbox as well as other ham radio apps. It has been tested on both a 2GB Pi and 4GB Pi without issues. The download is designed to fit a 32GB SD Card or USB storage device.

G'day Steve.

JJ explained on his github page :?
  • Copy over your hardware calibration settings file to (/home/pi/sbitx/data/hw_settings.ini)

Apparently, the sBitx v3 should NOT be calibrated, only use that "hw_settings.ini" file that came with your sBitx.?

Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

Sorry, I was a bit hasty in describing the error. After I installed JTDX and started it, I saw that I had different times in different places.
It's a 64bit OS as posted by JJ.? There is no TZ= in the .profile file ... what should I write?

The local time in the RPi Configuration is displayed correctly on the Menu Bar.
JTDX GMT is displayed correctly (-1 hour), while sBitx shows -2 hours in the top row, i.e. neither local time nor GMT.

Hi Gyula,

Check that you do not have a TZ= line in the /home/pi/.profile hidden file.

Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

Should the calibration procedure be done when using this image, or does the settings file that I'd move across contain that information?
Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

JJ,
I had a little problem with the time display.
I set the local time to Europe/Budapest, it displays it correctly.
However, the sBitx time display is -2 hours, which should correctly be -1 hour.
I can't find a .profile folder here.
Where can I fix it?

We still sell the AGC kit with analogue meter that works for any Transceiver including Bitx And Micro Bitx .

you’re right, jerry. ? Not sure why, but the images are available in the linked article at the top of that page. ??

Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

Ahh.. it was related to booting with USB headphones jacked in.. that's a tricky gotcha.
Sorry for the seemingly incessant posting.? it's the weekend and I was looking for a project.. lol
Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

JJ on my first SD card burn my sbitx didn't start, I figured it was a bad copy so I made another and this one worked well.?
I rebooted and now when the sbitx is launched it immediately closes.?
fired it from the shell and I observed the error:
sbitx v3.02
sbitx: simple.c:652: snd_mixer_selem_has_capture_switch: Assertion `elem' failed.
Aborted

Any idea what that is? I wonder if its somehow related to the strange volume control scaling I noted earlier.
Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

I found that if I moved my taskbar?to the bottom its even better.
YMMV

I found that by reducing the desktop taskbar down to 30 pixels, the sBitx program can be maximized (no crash on clicking KBD) and the only things then hidden by the taskbar is your call, grid and utc time, so very usable like that.??

Thanks JJ, nice job with Bookworm 64bit.

Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

Thanks for the build JJ. it runs well on a Sandisk SD and even better over USB3?
The original? SD that came with the rig is taped to the inside of the case for safekeeping,?
I had first tried the release on a Samsung SD and saw a performance hit.?

Also.. Hmm, is it just me or does the AF scaling seem off??
<First Bug>
50% is just about where the volume drops off to zero in the cans and over the speaker.?
Am I the only one seeing this and where is this calibration made?

Re: #sBitx on Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit #sBitx

 

I changed the script to install config.txt in the firmware directory. Your wide display is unusual. Your setup looks very industrial using those
t-slot extrusions. I don't really know much about the web interface. I went for the wooden case look. ?

Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available #sBitx

 

Thanks JJ.? I see that you have pre-installed my favorite digital QSO mode program -- JS8Call -- thankyou.? I use the android app "js8remote" to communicate with the installed JS8Call program. That app gives you a "remote keyboard" for JS8Call.

Re: #sBitx on Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit #sBitx

 

After installing a fresh default image on my second Pi, I noticed it had a config file already there too, but with a note at the top saying not to edit it and that the config is in the firmware folder.

Anyway, I was able to get both pi's running and connected through Ethernet with the web interface using your installation on the main pi and the default image on the second pi using the web interface.

I hope I'll be able to work out enough about the web UI that I can make just the spectrogram appear on the second screen, but I have no idea if it's feasible to even have two web uis running at once.
