Hi I don't know if this is the correct place for this issue, but I figured someone on here may have come across something similar, the file for the 3.5" Nextion display in the?UBITX_Nextion_GUI_V3.zip file results what looks like a mismatch of resolutions here, can anyone give me any hints please? I'm baffled. ?

Re: uBITX V6 Headphone Jack not Working Correctly
|
Hey Jim, I see that the current TSW firmware available for the T4 is essentially the "stock" uBITX firmware.? Is there a plan to port any additional code (primarily, display code) from the Biteensio effort?? I'm very much interested in trying out the T4, but I'm using an I2C display.?
Also, could you point me toward the negative reviews regarding Teensy 4 and the audio adaptor?? I'm looking to get some more specifics on that, understand if it's a design vs. production issue with the shield, etc.? Do you know if that was specifically for the Rev D audio board, or for Rev C's being used in a workaround with the T4?
(Also, regarding the upside down mounting, I'd think that wouldn't be an issue, if the T4 and audio shield are both purchased w/o headers, and then I solder on the appropriate headers??? But I still haven't looked at the respective pinouts...
Thanks,
Rob - KC4UPR

I have the ubitx V5 with the Nextion case. It came with a front panel board for three 3.5 mm jacks and connection to the Analog and Digital 8-pin connectors. I did all that and all was well. However, there were problems with CW keying and I had read that some resistors were needed in order to use a paddle, in addition to the pull-up one. There was also another version of the front panel board included, with provision for these resistors as well as the 4.7K pull-up.
I wired that board up, but inadvertently reversed the position of the two 8-pin headers. Analog was still analog, etc, but the connectors were end-for end.
When I fired up the rig, it was stuck in CW transmit, even though the pull-up resistor was present. I saw my mistake and replaced the board with my original one. However, the rig still is stuck in CW transmit. I assume I have now done more serious damage to the rig through my clumsy handling of the digital/analog connectors.
Any thoughts?

Re: V6 mic connector - compatibility
If it's wired the same way as the V5 with the 'official' cabinet, my Elecraft KX2 microphone worked just peachy on my V3 (which I upgraded to a V5 by just swapping the main board and Raduino).
I would expect it to work on my V6, but I haven't tried it yet.? The up/down buttons on the top of the Elecraft mic, though, don't do anything useful (I wouldn't expect them to).
But it sure made a swell mic for the V3/V5, better than trying to homebrew something with the mic element, etc., that came in the kit.

It is wired with a 3.5 mm audio jack. The tip is mic, the ring is ptt and the sleeve is ground. It was kept this way so you can use regular audio cables to the computer.

Properly wired it it is compatible with any rig that supports an electret type microphone.?
These have an internal FET that needs a small voltage and possibly a DC isolating
capacitor (capacitor need depends on circuit layout).?
If one wants to use a standard Icom, Yaseu, etc. microphone with a uBITX? then you
need to know the circuit layout of that unit and adapt your microphone to that layout.?
Dynamic or crystal microphones may not provide sufficient signal output to drive an
input that is designed for an electret microphone.? Dynamic microphones may also
require an isolating capacitor to block DC? from the microphone and a resistor to
adjust microphone DC bias to what it would be if an electret microphone were used.?

Hi all, I see the ubitx V6 comes with a stock mic. Is this compatible to any brand, Icom, Yaesu or Kenwood?

I have successfully installed the AGC on my V6 board as well, works fine. What is the 10 ohm resistor for? I didn't use one and mine is working fine.

Curt - thanks for your reply.? I've actually got a Banggood enclose with the face and rear panels printed on a 3D printer.? The enclosure is ready to go.? :)? I don't mind a little research, and I prefer my manuals in electronic form.? I've built dozens of kits over the years, including an Elecraft K2.? I guess I'm thinking a little sticker on the box or something to point me to a website....or even tell me what version of the kit I have.....would have been more than a little helpful.? I'll get it up and running one way or another.? Perhaps I set my bar too high?? See you on the air.

Re: ubitx #v6 Screen Speed Mod

Well, that is a definite improvement, the screen draws much better but it's still in need of some fine tuning. Good job, thank you, this is a step in the right direction.

ND6T's AGC and Nextion display issues
OK, I built up a uBITX version 5 recently and I have it tweaked up to my satisfaction.? I added ND6T's AGC board and I'm having issues getting it to read out on the display.
I've used uBITX Memory Manager to set the "S meter" to various levels.? I have S meter checked.? I can watch with my scope to see the AGC board function properly, with DC voltage changes on A7 (pin1) on the Raduino.? Nothing, nadda.? I've tried loading the two Nextion programs (Nextion and Nextion_s) to no avail. Nothing.?
Tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jim

See files section for data sheet?
It is easy to wire up a couple of LEDs with 1K resistors and connect them to 5V and the two switched outputs of the encoder.? Other side of the switches goes to
ground.? Now when you slowly rotate the shaft you can see each individual LED
turn on and off in an over-lapping fashion.?

I can give you a partial answer. I read awhile back that Bourns is the supplier. The part number was also given but, I no longer have same

if it was purchased recently, and has a LCD on its raduino - its likely a V5.? the frequency on the xtals in the large IF filter are another clue.?
a key modern trend is to not ship manuals via paper or CD anymore - much more economical to download these.?
also - you might react a bit by the minimal nature of the manual.? some sweat equity in thought is required.? but enough clues are available for successful assembly (aka wiring up the board with connectors).?
a key decision point is what enclosure you will employ.? if you provide your own - there should be enough connectors available to build your ubitx.? key advantage of v5 is that its spurious should be low enough, not needing the substantial mods of v3/v4.? it should be a nice rig when you get it assembled - enjoy the assembly journey - and explore how you wish to shape this into the rig you prefer (display type, accessories integrated - or not).? its a very nice rig even in stock form or nearly so as in my case thus far.?
one final thought - a little frustration seems universal in building a uBitx.? hang in there and enjoy the ride.? if you are really wondering 'where the case will come from' - check out amateurradiokits.in or use your search engine to find other suppliers.?
