Re: uBITX Questions (fake semiconductors)

 

while buying on ebay

?one need to check item description.

?if you find? unbranded, new, or some such? under? "manufacturer"? be sure that it is fake. Generally IRF510 wont be fake , while we get lots of fake under RD16HHF1 type. i had attached a sample look out , in case of RD16 and on page 2 you can find the device?? brand correctly indicated and is good.

?RD16HHF1 device would be costly. i had frequently bought from a seller and they were fine.

all the best

BUYING A SPARE SI5351A BOARD

Dale Brooks KG7SSB
 

Hi Guys, can someone tell me the best place to obtain the SI5351A VFO board that is used in the BITX40 that connects to the Arduino nano. I'd rather play around with the sketch on an outboard unit before I download to the BITX.

Thanks for the help!!!?

All:

Allard has adopted a more-or-less standard practice of providing the URL for any non-standard IDE libraries used in his code. For example, in his code he has:

#include <Wire.h>
#include <si5351.h> // https://github.com/etherkit/Si5351Arduino/releases/tag/v2.0.1

The first #include does not provide a URL, which means it is distributed with the standard Arduino IDE. The second directive provides the URL where that library can be found and downloaded. You will need to install that library before you can compile that code. This group's web site has instructions for the proper installation of "external" libraries. Also remember that, once installed, you must shut down and reload the IDE for the new libraries to take effect.

Jack, W8TEE

Re: Shielded /Coax connectors for wiring in BitX40smd

 

It does seem like there could be a lot more in the Wiki page since there's a lot of valuable information sprinkled throughout this group that I suspect most people will never find, mostly because they don't even know to look for it!


Re: BITX40 - wiring power via volume control

You may want to use a ON-OFF-ON DPDT switch in place of the volume control switch. This will allow you to put either 12 volts or your choice of final voltage on the Final.

Wired as follows

?

1 O???? O 2

3 O???? O 4

5 O???? O 6

?

Wire 12 Volts to pin 3 and selected final voltage to pin 6. Pin 4 goes to the final voltage connector pin 2 goes to the 12 volt connector on the board.

Tie together pins 1, 2, and 5

Go easy on me! First post and first homebrew project...

Step 2 of the BITX40 wiring up instructions says that 'the DC power from the socket goes to the board ?through the on/off switch on the volume control', but then later in step 2 it says that 'you may route the positive power line through the ON/OFF switch on the volume control' making it sound optional or that it requires some additional configuration.

So, if you follow the default instructions in steps 2 and 4, is the DC power routed through the volume control via the PCB board, or do you need to do this yourself by wiring the DC socket to the volume control and then from there to the board?

Thanks in advance!

Your choice. Many of us prefer to use a toggle switch for DC power, rather than using the switch on the volume control, to avoid unnecessary wear on the potentiometer.

Re: another modified Raduino

 

OK now.? I had to do an UPDATE on the Etherkit Si5351A 2.0.1 library.
Thanks.

Re: Almost finished, for now...

 

Yup, that worked. I also put in the function button and got it working. I'm loving this radio now! Still have yet to make a contact but am more comfortable with the radio and happy that my skills haven't completely disappeared. Will probably update to 1.10 but am pretty happy where I'm at.

My (capacitance) hat is off to you all! Wish your families a happy Mother's Day.

Hi Jens,?

tnx for reply. I thought so, but wasn't sure. The keyer from hamshop is working well so I guess it will be a good addition to the radio.

Hi Adi,
as I see you like to connect the keyer from hamshop.cz to the raduino. Since the Q1 puts some voltage to the ground it should be working. My BITX still waits for completion so i could not verify this, but it should work.
