Sounds like you need to increase the size of the swap disk. It's working for the moment.

Hi everybody

You may be interested in how uBITx.net is going.

To date in February 2018, there have been 170,000 page hits, with 14220
visits by 8214 unique visitors.? Together, all those 8000+ uBITx fans
have shifted 14Gb of data! This shows just how big the interest is in
the uBITx.? I host around 25 sites, and this is now our second most
popular site.

I am still catching up with reading new emails on the list posted during
the last few days.? I have been otherwise occupied with a visit by
Eugeny UA3AHM and time out at the saltmine.

Since the site launch less than a month ago,? a total of 68 news stories
have been posted.? There will be a few more posted today. These stories
are running about 3 per day, drawn primarily from the approx. 100 email
postings a day on the BITX20 email list (i.e. 3% of all emails to the
list are "news worthy").? This is a pretty interesting statistic in itself.

I am still gob-smacked by the extent of hacking already going on with
the uBITx ...? eclipsing a year's worth of hacking on the BITX40. There
are already three software variants available - each with unique
features.?? Clearly, Ashhar Farhan has a tiger by the tail, as he has
two months of back orders of the uBITx to clear before shipping ex stock.

Hopefully, ubitx.net is filling a helpful niche in the ecosystem for the
uBITx.? It's purpose is to document and categorise that which is of
enduring value from the BITX20 list about the uBITx. I have not had the
time I would like to distill out the "nuggets" into guidance like I had
hoped.?? However, I guess that will come with time ... It would also be
nice to find the time to work on hacking my own uBITx! ? But I do hope
to get into the workshop this weekend and work on an interesting mod of
one of my BITX40s.

Don't forget that you can volunteer to help out with uBITx.net. It would
be great to have one or two others assisting with the daily collation of
news items.? This takes an hour or two a day at most...? I can prepare a
simple guide? to assist volunteers in managing this.? No coding skills

an appropriate graphic to go with each item.

Re: uBITX Wire Up Drawing error

 

It also shows that the CW key ("Digital Plug" Blue wire) is connected to the "Ring" of the key jack, not to the "Tip" as it really should be. ?I've tried to call this to Ashhar Farhan's attention since December, but the diagram(s) have remained unchanged.

Subject: [BITX20] uBITX Wire Up Drawing error

The wire up drawing has an error regarding the volume control connections. It shows the orange wire as being Vol_high. And the yellow wire as being Vol_mid, going to the wiper.
The orange wire is in fact the Vol_mid, and should go to the wiper. And yellow to the hot end.
The pictures are correct.

Re: #ubitx replaced Arduino Nano gives a lot of I2C interference during reception #ubitx

I use 0.01uF on the encoder and encoder switch.

1000pF would probably work too?

Sarma,

Thank you for the suggestions. My problem has been solved with the exchange of the nano (now on headers as I have room).

I have also used screened cable to the encoder and had to decouple the push button at the nano due to rfi on Tx sometimes triggering the menu.

I might also decouple the encoder.

What maximum values capacitors can you use for decoupling?
