Re: W8TEE TFT/ VFO DISPLAY BOARD BOARD

Jack Purdum
 

No, it should be changing without being connected to the main board. It sounds to me like the connections from the encoder to the PCB are on the wrong pins. CHeck those and make sure they are correct. You can download the latest schematic for the board from the Files section of the group.

Hi Jack

I have my board built and running with the latest code, however turning the rotary encoder does not move the frequency from 7.200 (I have tried 3 different encoders with same result). ?Pressing the encoder switch moves it to SW1, but further presses do nothing. I have not connected the VFO to the BITX yet, i dont recall seeing a connection diagram anywhere, i must have missed it. Does the VFO need to be connected to the BITX for the frequency to change and the switch to behave properly?

What diameter is your loop? Building one is on my todo list.

I think I have some antenna work to do. I'm hearing nothing on 7.277.

Looks like I typed that too soon, Now I'm hearing someone from North Carolina.

Sure hate I'm missing the roundup tonight. I think I have flashed my radiuno? board, as it won't do anything but light up now ( no frequency display) .
Guess I'll buy another raduino....see y'all on the air then...

All:

I've just uploaded Release 2 of the B40 assembly manual, B40AssemblyManual02.doc. This pertains to adding/using the modifications I've added to my BITX40, mainly via the PCB that I'm using. It contains some thoughts on populating the PCB and how some features work. It is now 33 pages long and has some photos that might be helpful when building it.

Join us as we make contacts from BITX40 to BITX40 on 7.277 MHz in 40 meters!

To participate, call CQ BITX at 7pm sharp, your local time, on Sunday. Call off and on for about 15 minutes. It is helpful if you call CQ BITX with your name and location.? Repeat your call a number of times if conditions are weak.

This is a worldwide event at 7pm in each time zone.? You may participate in any time zone, regardless of your location, so you may wish to call in at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm, your local time, to contact hams in adjacent time zones.

The backup frequency in case of QSB or other noise is 7210 kHz.

Report your QSO's, discuss propagation, noise, signal reports, audio reports, antenna type, etc. in this thread.

This is an undirected, scheduled event.? The BITX QSO Night relies on you to call CQ BITX to initiate contacts with other stations, so warm up that final and transmit a few calls at 7pm on Sunday.? Talk to you then!
