Great work!
In the doc you mention the need to be careful in selection of the I2C display controller and talk about a board from Amazon by seller "IC Module". Would provide a link? My search for IC

Re: uBITX Firmware (CEC) 0.30 released (Test version).

Good Idea Dave,
I did that on one of mine earlier. I used 1206 size, but 0805 might fit better. No current so wattage is not a factor.

Re: No TX

Yes, current goes up when PTT is pressed because the rig is now powering
the four stages of the transmit power amp, starting with Q90.
How many mA on receive?
How many mA on transmit?

The v.30 with Ron’s CW Keying code does include adding the 4.7k pull-up at A7, as a modification to hardware.
I’m planning on adding both 4.7K chip resistors directly on the pads of the

Re: UBITX Touch Control TFT Display
All valid inputs.
But with the atmega2560 the user has more inputs and output pins then one
could ever use. With the radio all wired I would estimate more than 25

I begin the tuning process yaving the two blue pots placed fully clockwise
but when I have it like this i have much more mA when ptt than if it is turned a bit counterclockwise
Is it normal?

i can hear myself on a receiver but no visible output
i have tried several bands. Nothing

Re: IRF510 amplifier failures
Hello
Still thinking about IRF510 failures and ways to avoid making smoke.....
It seems that there may be two ways to limit current in BITX RF PA stages that use
the IRF510 device.? First would be

Or build the wa2eby amp with two IRF510's in push pull.
Which works great and is pretty much flat through 30mhz

Additional info to what I just posted - I forgot to mention, now that we're using Digital inputs for the CW and PTT functions, this actually freed up 3 analog lines - A6, A7 and the A3 PTT line so you

Re: IRF510 amplifier failures
Well it’s this way. You can either spend a little more on the transistor (with the nice input characteristics) and design with minimal parts (e.g. one set of broad band impedance matching

Re: No TX

If an oscilloscope is not available you can use a diode probe to measure RF
level at various points
in your circuits. N5ESE has documented a nice probe along with how it
works and how to use it.

Re: No TX

Easy to check TX, put the ?Bitx into TX CW mode with a power meter and
dummy load attached.
If the output is ok, the power meter should show power.
I used this method as my mike was not connected

I had never heard of elegoo.com, that looks like a good steer.
They have some nice Arduino starter kits.
However, their 2.8" TFT display is not well documented, and burns an awful lot of pins.
