Re: sBIT 2 On-screen virtual keyboard
Gerald,
Watch the MicroCenter website for Raspberry Pi's if you live near by you may be able to pick one up for a reasonable price.
When they get PI's in stock the price is not inflated. A few

sBITX RPi 4 Load
#sBitx
I did a performance test with my sBITX DE running v2 software and could not run the sbitx code and the Chrome interface on the single Raspberry Pi 4.? That was after swapping out the 2G for a 4G RPi

Re: About ATiny85 code
Ah, a good spot. I wanted to check how fast the adc works. If you see, the
pin 5 is being flipped on each iteration of the loop. So, I connected the
pin5 to an oscilloscope to measure the time

Re: Subitx ptt
Rafael,
Exposing attin85 pins directly to external lines can be risky. It would be
better to tie the tx_line (it goes high on transmit) to a 2n7000 gate and
use the drain as an open / close ptt

Re: Subitx ptt
If you don't want to use Raj option, other option is to use the ATTiny85 port 6 in order to have independent control (just send the info to the ATTiny85 via i2c).

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 2GB vs Pi 4 8GB
I just discovered a kink in spectrum_update that was eating up the cpu. I
will push out the changes to idle the cpu back to 40% on sbitx.

Re: Subitx ptt
Take the 12V from R10 upper side and feed to a 12V relay. Use the relay contacts
as you want. The relay will isolate sBitx from your circuit.

Re: Subitx ptt

I am not sure about USB spec.
The keyline output should go low during transmit to be used for transmit/receive switching of linear amplifiers and transverters. For keyline voltage and current

Re: Subitx ptt
It is best not to tap this off the raspberry pi line. Perhaps, we can use
the usb port to signal this?

Re: Cooling RPi4 in Sbitx
Thanks for the detailed information. I know that the solution is always in the details.
I noticed that the heat generating components are well placed on the SbitX v2 pcb.
It is still hard for me to

On the sbitx v2, we have ample air vents on the top of the raspberry pi as

I have busted tens of raspberry pi boards but none from too much heating.
