Re: Latest Processor
The problem with your argument is this: "Whatever the market will bear!"
If the radio starts using the new processor, it won't be long before there is pressure to make all of the radios use the new

Re: Latest Processor
Actually the sbitx comes with Pi 4 2GB which is currently $45 list price, Pi Zero 2W with headers is $21, so switching would save $21.
If you can get headers cheaply and do your own soldering, you

I get where you are going, but it's not as simple as that, IMO.

A tricky question
#sBITX_v3
Today I was peacefully radioing in ft8 mode on 21 MHz when the image below appeared on my screen.
Since I had done the same thing 10 minutes before, only then another station called at the same time,

Re: sBitx v3 - No output
Oh, I forgot to add that during TX I can correctly hear the signal through the speaker (CW and FT8), if that can be helpful to the diagnosis.

Re: sBitx v3 - No output
Ashhar,
I was thinking about checking the signal "AUDIO-MOD" coming out from the WM8731 and following its path through Q6. What do you think?
If I understand correctly, all the signals are generated

Thanks, but no on the V.6 as I don't really want to have to adapt the monitor scheme.?? I appreciate the offer.

Re: Have an extra V.5 board to part with?
I have a version 6 board I need to sell, could that work for your project?? No issues with the board, just lost interest.? ?I paid 180.00 for it.? I have some speakers and an audio output module

Hi Ashhar,
yes, I have an oscilloscope, I can do tests.
thanks!

Re: sBitx v3 - No output
Lorenzo,
The tx current is stuck at 1.2A, this means there is no modulation. Do you
have an oscilloscope handy?

Re: Radio S32LE samples don't go negative?
"If the DAC is programmed to receive 32 bit data, then it strips the LSBs" p.38, so not only the samples in, but the samples out (tx/speaker) should also have LSB packed with zeros.
Cheers,

Re: Radio S32LE samples don't go negative?
Thanks for the datasheet Gordon!
Ha! I think I got it. surprise surprise... the lower significant 8 bits are always 0... so, reading the datasheet - it is indeed padding. There is a table in page 39

Re: Radio S32LE samples don't go negative?
This makes things even more strange of how data is packed. I'm getting samples, for example , 236775168, which is way more than 2^24. May be the data is shifted 8 bits to MSB? I'm dividing the samples

Re: sBitx v3 - No output
Hi Gyula,
thanks for your message!
I already checked those diodes and they are good. I think the problem is that there is no modulation, actually.
Thanks!

Re: Radio S32LE samples don't go negative?
Hi Dave,
Those terminal functions are just not used when you use directly the C library, but there are standard terminal calls, I don't see no harm. Csdr, by HA7ILM is pretty well written in C code

Re: sBitx v3 - No output
ps.: if you have the opportunity, use the device from a current-limiting power supply so that it has a long life.

I'm just guessing the cause of the problem because I can't do it to see and measure it.
Please remove the pcb from the housing (so that the housing is not damaged during soldering).
