Re: uBitX up and running
It is brown wire pin 6 on the connector of Raduino and connects to Bump Switch on Encoder.

Re: uBit build, Arduino IDE
It is in Preferences top left of IDE.
Mike, who actually Likes Arduino IDE, except the Word "Sketch".? Sketches are for Kids, like Trix!
The only compilers I really got along with was MicroChips

Re: More Progress on uBit
The first blow up was (I thought) I put the I2C connector backwards on the LCD.? It is not polarized there.
I hard wired with shrink that end,? and the other end is Molex polarized.

Re: Raduino v2.01 (bug correction) released
Did you calibrate the VFO and BFO?
The BFO signal is now generated by the si5351, so if it's not calibrated
precisely then the BFO frequency will be off, resulting in an unnatural

Re: More Progress on uBit
Good question.
But since Mike was not specific, I'll assume it was his error and not something I need to know about.
Perhaps 12 power from the uBitx got wired into some MegaPro signal pin.?

Re: uBitX up and running
After looking at the latest code, I think you are right Jack. It seems the red wire is assigned as the function button and its going to the encoder switch. He must have abandoned seperate function

Re: uBitX up and running
The earlier version used a combination of pot and function button. This
has been replaced by the rotary encoder with integral pushbutton - a much
better solution.
We have just one spare I/O (an

Re: #Ubitx RX only version for general coverage

You'd only need one of the amplifiers in each bi-directional pair.? My take (I'm also working on an RX build) is that since everything has 50¦¸ in/out, we can think in 'module' terms.? Here's a look

Digi interface and WSJT
Just finished an interface for the bitx with help from David K4DBZ. After some trial and error with the inverter for the dtr signal its a big win! FTDI with an Easydigi interface and a 4 part inverter

Re: uBitX up and running
I¡¯m not so sure about that Jack, he talked about holding the function button down while tuning to make large changes in frequency, in fact he did it on camera. Maybe the firmware has evolved beyond

Re: BitX40 Builders Fest opportunity (edit to:) Modders who have wares, boards, add ons, cases, what have you, BitX family
In that process Jack could we have a look at the current draw of the TFT? I haven't commissioned my VFO/TFT for the BITX40 yet but the current draw on the Antenna Analyser, which I think uses the same

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the push button on the encoder.

Use your voltmeter on the lowest voltage setting to test each wire segment
under load. Just put your leads across each one. If things were perfect,
you'd get no reading. When you do, examine
