ALPS, a maker of rotary encoders, recommends 10K pullup to Vcc, then 10K in series with 0.01 uF to ground.
The internal pullup in the ATMega is loosely specified - somewhere in the tens of K, max 50K

On our "RadI2Cino" we provided pads for the RC series pair to ground, but not for any additional external pullup.

Thanks Mike.
73, John

Wonderful work OM Mike. We all appreciate your efforts in real ham spirit. If I find anything interesting I will point it out for you.

Thank you for your great work on consolidating knowledge from various sources into one place.

Hope to be helpful.

Hi,
got my transceiver the other day. It is now built in a metal box and seems to receive well although there is no AGC I guess?
Operating CW is difficult. Have operated CW for decades but now I don't want to try it with uBitx because I get keying errors.
Or the rig makes them, not me.

What do you suggest? There must be a s/w bug which makes the errors, strange delays, too short or missing dots.

It looks as though Comcast has blocked groups.io for its customers.? Hopefully, it will be fixed soon!

Sounds like you need to increase the size of the swap disk. It's working for the moment.

Hi everybody

You may be interested in how uBITx.net is going.

To date in February 2018, there have been 170,000 page hits, with 14220

visits by 8214 unique visitors.? Together, all those 8000+ uBITx fans

have shifted 14Gb of data! This shows just how big the interest is in

the uBITx.? I host around 25 sites, and this is now our second most

popular site.

I am still catching up with reading new emails on the list posted during

the last few days.? I have been otherwise occupied with a visit by

Eugeny UA3AHM and time out at the saltmine.

Since the site launch less than a month ago,? a total of 68 news stories

have been posted.? There will be a few more posted today. These stories

are running about 3 per day, drawn primarily from the approx. 100 email

postings a day on the BITX20 email list (i.e. 3% of all emails to the

list are "news worthy").? This is a pretty interesting statistic in itself.

I am still gob-smacked by the extent of hacking already going on with

the uBITx ...? eclipsing a year's worth of hacking on the BITX40. There

are already three software variants available - each with unique

features.?? Clearly, Ashhar Farhan has a tiger by the tail, as he has

two months of back orders of the uBITx to clear before shipping ex stock.

Hopefully, ubitx.net is filling a helpful niche in the ecosystem for the

uBITx.? It's purpose is to document and categorise that which is of

enduring value from the BITX20 list about the uBITx. I have not had the

time I would like to distill out the "nuggets" into guidance like I had

hoped.?? However, I guess that will come with time ... It would also be

nice to find the time to work on hacking my own uBITx! ? But I do hope

to get into the workshop this weekend and work on an interesting mod of

one of my BITX40s.

Don't forget that you can volunteer to help out with uBITx.net. It would

be great to have one or two others assisting with the daily collation of

news items.? This takes an hour or two a day at most...? I can prepare a

simple guide? to assist volunteers in managing this.? No coding skills

are needed ... just good editing skills, and the ability to track down

an appropriate graphic to go with each item.

Correct. I noticed that when I was wiring it up, but had forgotten this.

Philip, G7JUR?

Seeing Mike Woods' update for ubitx.net got me wondering what the usage on is looking like.
We have 306 operator entered map points and 13,437 total views.? All continents are represented with the exception of the ever elusive Antarctica.? I read somewhere that in January the Germans set up a permanent (as far as Antarctica goes) WSPR station down there.? I might have to send them a BITX just to get the map point :)

i was thinking 2nd nano and i2c lcd maybe a 20x4, leaving system rad do its thing unencumbered.
dc voltage current, swr, rf power, s meter, real time clock etc on health display. still dreaming but i want an isolated monitor.

The wire up drawing has an error regarding the volume control connections. It shows the orange wire as being Vol_high. And the yellow wire as being Vol_mid, going to the wiper.
The orange wire is in fact the Vol_mid, and should go to the wiper. And yellow to the hot end.
The pictures are correct.

Does anyone have a complete parts list for the ubitx?? I am looking for the values of the audio pot, especially, but also a physical wiring diagram of the connectors.

I use 0.01uF on the encoder and encoder switch.

1000pF would probably work too?

Mike, WA6ISP

Sarma,

Thank you for the suggestions. My problem has been solved with the exchange of the nano (now on headers as I have room).

I have also used screened cable to the encoder and had to decouple the push button at the nano due to rfi on Tx sometimes triggering the menu.

I might also decouple the encoder.

What maximum values capacitors can you use for decoupling?

Regards,

John (VK2ETA)

Thanks Mike for checking and thanks to Erhard for testing and sharing.

I have ordered the BN43-202 and will report the results now that I have the RD16s in place.
