Re: BITX40 Pop Fix
BevTed Stanier
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýEureka!!!! ? I had never tried the ¡°Old Bootloader¡± version of the ATMega328 and now with all the other things are setup properly it up loaded with no errors. Guess that means that the software has been updated to the latest rev. I understand that it has functionality that I won¡¯t be able to use on this oddball version of the BITX40. Hopefully though this will improve the pop noise when switching from TX to Rx and Vicky verky as well as maybe other things. As this is an abandoned kit from another Ham and a very basic TRX, as well signal band single mode, I don¡¯t want to put too much into it. May do some of the component mods for other fixes. I¡¯ll put the thing back together now and see what happens. Thanks for all of your time and help. I¡¯ll post the results. 73 and stay safe guys. Ted VA7CTA P.S. Hope I am not to optimistic. Hi. ?

Re: Nano
Ted,
I did get the picture that time.? From it I would surmise 2 things: 1 - That you do have an HF Signals Raduino with a Nano Clone. 2 - That the Nano is soldered in on the opposite side of the Raduino board from the uBITX versions (the Nano is between the Raduino board and the Display). Attached are pictures of the Raduino shipped with the uBITX rigs: Note: I did add the heatsink on the Raduino Regulator and replaced the Nano with a clone bought through Amazon.? That way I could keep the Nano in the factory original state. If you ever decide to replace the Nano, I would move it to the other side of the board, unless you are mounting the display with a cable, then it would not matter.? The Nano replacement will be difficult with the two headers to desolder and all the pins to remove. The settings for the Arduino IDE that we have sent you before should work.? If not, you could try changing the processor to the standard ATMega328P without the Old Bootloader.? Other than that, replacing the Nano is the best option at this time. 73 Evan AC9TU |

Re: BITX40 Pop Fix
Jack, W8TEE
I think the Raduino is the name given to the display interface, which includes the Nano and the LCD display. If you are using software to upload to the Nano, Nano is the correct choice for the upload. Jack, W8TEE

Ted,
I assume that you are using Windows as your OS.? If so, then I would suggest that you open the Device Manager through right-clicking on the Windows icon and selecting Device Manager. Open the Ports (COM & LP) and then connect your Nano.? The one that is added is the correct comm port.? (I did not have the Nano connected when I took the screenshot). Also will need to set up the board: And the Processor: That should get you connected to the Nano.? 73 Evan AC9TU |
