Re: Will this brick the Zbitx?
Leo,
We don't foresee why anything will brick the sbitx. I upgrade all the time.

Re: zBitx upgrading the firmware.
The zBitx displays the sbitx and firmware versions on startup.
How do you know if you have the latest versions? Is there a version name or tag in github or the firmware file?

Ah, thank you. That said, where do we find the .sch .pcb and bom files? I usually find them in the repository, but no luck.

Will this brick the Zbitx?
Just curious.
If after running ./update, if I run sudo apt update/upgrade will the zbit be bricked?
I'd be interested in compiling hamlib 4.5.4 and wsjt-z on the zbitx. I do have wsjt-z running on my

Thank you for the reply Farhan. Sadly I found using headphones makes no

Re: zBITX CW Keyer

Re: zBITX CW Keyer

Re: Does sequence of updates matter?
Got it now, took a few iterations of installing 3.051. Iambic-B is no longer emulating a straight key but still impossible to send correct CW in either iambic mode.

Re: Does sequence of updates matter?
I have connected to a monitor and started the zBitx. Evidently, zBitx got deleted as part of the fw update - it no longer opens when connected to monitor. The only window now open (on monitor) is the

Re: zBITX CW Keyer
sBitx has an RPi 4, the zBitx has an RPi Zero 2 W, effectively a low-memory RPi 3B+ (the CPU on the Zero 2 is the same as the CPU on the RPi 3B+).
The processing of the RPi 4 is significantly greater
