Thanks. Keep an eye out, we are busy on more neat stuff if it works.

Subject: [BITX20] #ubitx new Alternate software for the uBITX
Hi gang,
Ron, W2CTX and I (W0EB) have been steadily working on fixing some of the
CW problems with the uBITX software and also changing the tuning over
from the accelerated tuning for band change, etc. We found that this
method, while liked by some was difficult for some of us to tune to the
frequency we wanted so we set it up with a cursor under the digit to be
tuned using the encoder button to step the cursor position. We also
used the spare (A7) line as the dash input for the keyer (you have to
add another 4.7K pullup resistor, this time to the A7 input). The
zipfile complete with all files for compiling and uploading to the uBITX
with the Arduino IDE (version 1.8.5 or later on the IDE). If you have
your IDE set up right, it should compile without errors and upload to
the uBITX just fine.
The CW Keyer module uses code that came from the open source Ten-Tec
Patriot and Rebel code and the timing has been corrected so that the
paddles work properly and all the available speeds from real slooooow to
50 wpm. I've been using this code on the air for over a week without a
problem.
We also re-ordered the menu(s) and added a few items that are all
explained in the manual included in the zip file.
Ron and I sincerely hope this program version will allow you to work CW
much better and it addresses some of the requests for features that are
different from what was supplied in the initial version that came loaded
in the factory uBITX.
Jim Sheldon, W0EB for Ron, W2CTX and myself

Mostly just noise here.? Every now and then I could almost make out someone but not enough to even guess.? I was really looking forward to breaking in my new call sign.? Maybe next time.

Re: #ubitx new Alternate software for the uBITX
#ubitx
Thanks. ?It was a concerted joint effort and we had fun and more than a few playful arguments in the process. ?Haven't met Ron in person, so I don't know how much hair he has left but mine has diminished even more. ?He's a much better programmer than I am but I'm getting there thanks to Jack, W8TEE's book. Other neat things are being worked on here and will be announced when/if we get them working.
Jim, W0EB?

A straight key works well. I had already simply modded KD8CEC's code by removing the intermediate paddle value lines in getPaddle to get clean straight keying. Now I'll have to wire up A7 and try a paddle. I like the tuning and that your version offsets the frequency taking the sidetone into account.
Nice job on the documentation.
Now to add CAT and ....

Re: Reverse polarity diode circuit
There are two power supply pins going into the uBitx and BItx40. Put your 1A diode plus a 0.5A fuse in series on the wire that powers the main board and the Raduino. The main board and Raduino should work fine at 11v or less. Better yet, use a LM2940CT-12 voltage regulator to avoid excessive voltages into the main board. ? ?? /g/BITX20/message/39072No need for a diode on the power to the IRF510 drains, just a 3A fuse. If power to the IRF510's is reversed, the intrinsic diode in the IRF510 will conduct from source to drain and blow the fuse.? You probably don't want to suffer the voltage drop across a diode for the IRF510's anyway, as that would reduce your power out.

Re: Reverse polarity diode circuit
Steve, that diode will only pass 1 amp of current.? It will not work correctly if installed in series.? You would need something that will pass 3 or more? amps to work correctly.? Don't forget to take the diode voltage drop into account.

Re: #ubitx new Alternate software for the uBITX
#ubitx
One other thing I forgot to mention above - the need for squeeky clean key contacts or electronic conditioning of the inputs by using FET's has been made obsolete with this keyer version.? Since we only have to determine KEY UP or KEY DOWN even with analog inputs this is much easier than trying to decode a specific voltage threshold accurately to determine dot or dash or hand key on a single line.
Selection of Paddles or Hand Key/External keyer is now made in a menu item - all explaned in the included manual.
