Thanks Ian, will try it out when I can.
Hope you get some assistance in writing/contributions to a user guide as per your request on your website.

Got my device in a case
#ubitx
I have finally got my uBitx into a metal case. Previously I'd built it into the plastic box it arrived in. The case is , cast aluminium. I've built it for portable use so the LCD and controls face up.
I ended up having to re-extend some of the wires that I'd trimmed in the previous box, due to the larger size of this case. Other features include Anderson Power Pole for power, a power switch and a microphone gain control.
The potentiometers I'm using are much too long for the knobs. I may cut them down or find shorter options.

My uBitx took about 60 days from order to delivered by DHL to USA.?

This is Nano specific, not a generic Arduino issue.
The Nano documentation is a much easier read than the ATMega328P datasheet:
? ??
Click "DOCUMENTATION", will find this about halfway down the page:
? ? "Analog pins 6 and 7 cannot be used as digital pins."

Takes a pretty thorough read of the datasheet to figure that out.

Re: uBit Crazy Software Problem
Many programmers are not aware of this, but on a Nano pins A6 and A7 are
ANALOG INPUT only.

Well on all 5 Nanos I have here, A6 and A7 don't want to flip. A really
puzzling thing is I have an old Mega 2560 (the one with the old USB
squarish plug), and its
A6 and A7 will toggle?
I learned one good thing in hours of fussing around.?? I did NOT know you
can use a Pin name in the sketch without "A" in front of it.
They simply call the ports up from the last digital pin (13), So A0 you
can call 14!!!?? WOW, never knew that.
What is it good for????? You can use for statements to increment a
counter (i) to initialize and address these pins.?? You don't have to put
A in there.
Please Help Me, I am going nuts!

The topic was using his Rpi with FLdigi and other programs and he mentioned RMS express is not available on the RPi. Of course he can use a laptop/ PC for it all but if your Rpi is the computer wired to your radio you can leave it that way, run direwolf on the Rpi and use whatever KISS or AGWE compatible program from any PC or laptop. Heck even remotely if you wish it.?

Walter have you tried dire wolf on the Rpi? You would still need to run RMS express on the laptop but you can connect to the RPI as a TNC modem using KISS. That’s how my winlink set up works at the moment

After sorting my issues out I started building a case and run into the next problem.
Out of the 3 3.5mm jack I was able to only turn the nut on 1 of them. Barrel isn't very long. Am using double sided copper clad pcb.
So guess have to either modify the cabinet on the inside (to make it thinner) or look for different jacks.

Re: Jerry Solved the puzzle!
O... THANK You!
I read the official
Arduino site stuff but never saw it anywhere.? Every internet
link said Analog ports
can be used just like
digital.? I did learn the Numbering scheme, I never saw that
before?
And to really confuse
me, it works on the old Mega, well, because it is a different
part!
I spent about 4 hours
testing new and old Nanos.? I ripped open brand new package.
What a crazy morning!
Thanks Mucho!!
