Re: Zbitx RPI SD-card image needed
Tilman, have you tried switching the branch? let us give it a go while the sd card image slowly makes it to the google drive. Here is what you do: 1. On booting up, open a terminal (like you to do update) 2. Move to the sbitx directory:
cd sbitx 3. Now, switch the branch like this: git checkout?master 4. Run the update (note the full-stop before the /) ./update sbitx? 5. Now, run the sbitx from the same command line, like this: ./sbitx
hopeful?this will sort it out - f
I don't know how stripped down the Debian OS is, I'm just assuming that if the Raspberry menu is available, then there is an SD Card Copier option in Accessories, with which you can make a Backup of the running OS. To do this, you need to connect a uSD card reader to the USB (the card reader is also good for writing).
With this method, you can save a complete Image and use it if necessary.

Zbitx RPI SD-card image needed
Hi there
?
I was one of the first ordering the zbitx. Impressive little thing. I fact interesting using a RPI at the heart of the radio.
With a RPI there also comes challenges in that on can break things of not doing things/updates the right way.
With them video:s describing updates to RPI and display-controller one would belive that all is nice and dandy. And for most folks it is.?
Nevertheless, out of a sudden im not able to do a sw update to the RPI in my radio beyond version 3.021.?
The display controller is on 1.05
Occasionally the WLAN-interface is not getting a IP-address from my DHCP. And even when it gets the IP-address the DNS-settings are not always ok for name resolution.?
For all of you that want to say that I should be checking my router - NO, there is nothing wrong with that. Works fine for all my other 25 odd devices in my LAN.
So Im at a point where my zbitx is not bricked, but useless. I would need a fresh image that I can put onto the SD-card for the RPI. This has been addressed.
Maybe the root cause is that the SD-card is somewhat corrupted after all the hard power outages ?? Im not used to doing a hard power outage/shutdown to a UNIX/LINUX system like one does with the zbitx.
Any ideas ??

¡°Git stash¡± fixed the problem.? CW works perfectly now with v3.051 up to 25wpm (only limited by my fist).? Thank you.?
type? git stash? and then run ./update that should fix it. were you looking at some source code that got modified by mistake? - f
I tried to update to 3.051, but I got this error message: ¡°Error: your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: sbitx Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge. ´¡²ú´Ç°ù³Ù¾±²Ô²µ¡±
I have updated the zbitx keyer with a minor update. the new software update version of sbitx is now 3.051 (moving from 3.05). Can the cw users try out this version and let me know? I could manage upto 25 wpm (my paddle skills are lousy) You have to just run ./update to get to the new version - f

Spent about an hour with the radio and so far I'm pretty impressed with what it can do for that price.
Firstly, follow the videos on YouTube. Connect to your WiFi and then update all software, the process is simple and elegant versus some other radios I have.?
Fits my needs for how I operate. Did I mention the value versus cost??
Getting out in the field tomorrow.?

Re: ZbitX battery holder wiring
Other end looks good, but thanks for the heads up. I think pigtail was stripped too aggressively. ?A little liquid electrical tape and as good as new.?

Re: ZbitX battery holder wiring
Maybe your batteryholder does have the same problem like mine in that the poles at the other end where not connected together also. Easy fixed with soldering in a wire.

These are the set? I was using at the time of testing.? ?Looks?like they aren't really designed for a?constant high current?discharge,?
I have a number of other batteries which I will have to dig up the specs to see if I have any set of batts that will handle the current?needed on tx.?

I purchased these:

They appear to have the right curves. ?8A continuous draw.? High Capacity.

We will see how they work when my radio arrives.
