Re: Nextion 2.8 Enhanced - How long to upload .tft file?
Congratulations on overcoming obstacles and the successful repair.
But for reference: Scotch tape, or any insulating tape, can build up a very high charge when pulling it from the reel.? It's not

Re: Nextion 2.8 Enhanced - How long to upload .tft file?
My problem is resolved. So, here is a brief report...
Mark Hatch (AJ6CU) kindly loaned me a working Raduino with a programmed Arduino Nano. That made my uBitxV6 functional.
My Nano also worked in his

The "active cooler" for the RPi 5 includes a heatsink as well as a fan, the "official" case for the RPi 5 includes a fan (much like the available fan accy that is available to add to the RPi 4

Thanks for all the great insights! I'll keep them in mind going forward.
I was thinking it could be a software issue but was thinking of a totally different scenario. I was imagining (without

Re: Brainstorming: sbitx with new Raspberry Pi 5?

Probably will, but I haven't used FT8 enough on sbitx to understand its strengths and weaknesses.
I didn't understand that the case also came with a fan, so I ordered the case as well as the

Re: Brainstorming: sbitx with new Raspberry Pi 5?

The problem is that the encoder isn't getting sampled often enough. It's a
software design issue. A faster CPU won't help. There is already plenty of
CPU power available; it's just not being used in

The case where I see performance lags is if I spin the tuning dial even moderately fast. This could be a software issue or a hardware issue. One reason why I prefer the TUI (Gtk) over the GUI

Jack, I am with you. I have learned so much— so so much! from this group and from these radios. I am a little bit concerned about spurious signals in the manufacturing production line. This is such

More speed could help with FT8 decodes.
I also ordered one from the PiShop us but no info on shipping yet. I ordered it with the case with active cooling but for sBITX you would need another

I'm not clear why we need a Rasp Pi 5 for the sBitX. I have demonstrated the sBitX running SSB and also projecting a slide show (LO Impress) at the same time. The Pi didn't even seem to be taxed at

A few quick notes:
A) the firmware in the RPi 4 has always supported USB booting, the RPi 3 had the ability to modify the firmware to boot off USB directly, otherwise a bootloader on a MicroSD could

Yes, and they are developing an official NVMe "HAT".
It is nice that there is extra room inside the sbitx, hopefully that would allow for Pi5 with both NVMe and a fan to fit inside the sbitx
