Re: suggestions for a graphics display
Hi,
Here is a video explaining how to speed up the refresh rate on an ePaper display. Are there any production (not random surplus) ePaper displays that are low cost? I'd looked into ePaper for an IoT project, but saw mostly displays that were too high priced for the project with a few low cost, but tiny, displays here and there. Not certain how a display that seems to be intrinsically high cost (possibility the technology is all from a single manufacture), can also be made by a few low cost manufactures. The red/black/white displays look really great. ? Tom, wb6b |
BITX40 – Circuit Description pictures
Hello everyone. Does anyone have a copy of the ?The link is broken and if I enlarge the picture on the web page enough to read it the words are to blurry to read. I am just starting on my BITX40 V3 assemble and would like to make some of the recommended mods but I need a good schematic to go by. Thanks David Goodrow N1OMO |
Re: Factory settings
You may know this; after setting BFO, power off the rig & then power on again.??

Same with Calibration.? If I've been reading it right, this make sure that your settings are actually stored. Otherwise, you may not be evaluating the net result of your changes. For BFO adjustment, do you find a weaker station and use the dial to f ik ne the loudest perceived signal irrespective of intelligability, and only then enter the BFO mode? That's the process, followed by tuning the 11.997xxx freq for readability. After that, squeeze the microphone key to save this setting. Now, stop. Don't move; cycle the radio power off and then on again. The conversation should now sound normal. For calibration, I like to tune to WWV on a redundant radio in AM mode. The uBitix gets set to 10,000.0kHz [0r 5,000, etc] irrespective of sound. You're going to bring the audio to the dial, so to speak, so with radio dials are now set alike.? Enter the Tune mode, and get that audio note between the clock chimes to ring alike pitch-wise. If you have a musical ear, you'll be able to get it close enough to detect only a couple of cycles difference.? Store that setting and again, cycle the power off & then back on.? Now tune WWV and alternate doing so with LSB and USB back and forth; the zero beat should now be about equidistant from 10,000.0kHz on either side.? It'll never be "perfect" but unless you have "perfect pitch" hearing it will be barely if at all significant. Hope that helps, Ted K3RTA

Vic,
were you asking me to send them from Uk to US? I'm happy to do so, but at the moment I don't know what it will cost for postage.

Factory settings
Need help is getting my ubitx v5.1 working.
I just finished mounting it on breadboard and powered up. All was good, except frequency display showed a frequency that was almost a kHz higher than a nicely readable ssb signal. And so I started to tinker with settings, adjusting calibration and BFO to make frequency on the display identical to the actual ssb signal. Nothing seems to work, and reception is worse than when I started. Is there a way to restore this ubitx v5.1. to its original factory settings, and to resolve the calibration issue?

Arv: OK...not what I was thinking of since many CAT programs require a mouse/keyboard to work. So, perhaps, just a TFT (or whatever) display in a case with a ribbon cable going to the rig. Jack, W8TEE

Re: suggestions for a graphics display

Arv, Farhan: I would also like to see a CAT interface, probably based on the Kenwood protocol, as it seems pretty common for "external" control. However, I don't want to see that be the only display option. I plan on using mine on vacations and don't want to be forced to take along a laptop if I don't need to. (The XYL knows that taking a laptop means checking email, which doesn't make her a happy camper.) Jack, W8TEE

Karl's answer will fix your issues. You must have both INO files in the same directory. If you do not see the primary file names on tabs in the IDE, you do not have them in the same directory. Jack, W8TEE

Re: Sweeperino?
The variable/constant xtal_freq_calibrated is set at the top of the antuino sketch:
#include <Wire.h> #include <EEPROM.h> #include <LiquidCrystal.h> ? //#define XTAL_FREQ 24996900l; ? ? ? ? ? ? // Frequency of Quartz-Oszillator uint32_t xtal_freq_calibrated = 27000000l; Do you have that in your file? Is it possible that you accidentally removed that line (or commented it out)?? Karl Heinz - K5KHK |
