Re: Zbitx arrived today
I received mine today as well, very exciting! I upgraded the software to
1.05/3.05, everything seems to work. I noticed the "chugging" as well,

Re: LATEST .UF2 FILE
The "git checkout main" fixed my problem as well. All is working properly now.

This type of connector is a pretty generic thing. It doesn't have a name like 'powerpole' or 'JST'. Per the drawing of the part I use in my product, it's called: Box Header, Right Angle PCB Mount, 2

Re: New sBitx V3 to me
You have a uSD card with a 32-bit operating system, which is located in the uSD card slot of the built-in RPi4.

Re: New sBitx V3 to me
Did you make the image on the new SD card with a program like Balena

Re: LATEST .UF2 FILE
If the sbitx version doesnt show 3.05 after update, you maybe on the wrong
branch. So, before you run ./update, type:
