Re: CNC encoder for ubitx
Dennis, thanks for the sketch to use the encoder. In the library,
RotoryEncoder, I found a bit of info on these 100ppr encoders available
from Matthias, the Arthur. It is very interesting how he took

I strongly agree with you. Code organization and functions that contain
blocking
code are important and a PITA. At present I am working on code for some

Re: CW Mistakes
Jim,
Sorry that I miss represented the original Raduino adapter. I definitely want one of those to put in one of my v4 uBITX. ?I will go back to the site and order one.
Thank you for the

OOPS sorry Evan, The pre V6 stuff has run out of stock and not available right now, but has not been discontinued. Major problem is with the Si5351a VFO/Clock chip. I have around 100 on hand and now

Excuse me Evan! That adapter board used the Teensy 4.0 (smaller MPU unit) and it has NOT been discontinued. Don't post things you know nothing about please.

Re: CW Mistakes

Here is a link to a company that produces the hardware and software to replace the v6 Raduino with one that is designed for the Teensy 4.1.

Re: CW Mistakes
I had that wrong.
PARIS is 50 "dot elements", the spaces between the dots count as separate dot elements.
So 20wpm is a rising or falling edge every 1/16.66 = 60 milliseconds, not 30.

The key to a solution is the last sentence: The feature set of the ?BITX has outgrown the processor and it's time to leave the ATMega328 behind. While I have my own preferences, I think we

Re: CW Mistakes
Part of the CW problem is that there are already many uBITX out there
in use which could use an upgrade. This involves replacing the whole
Raduino if we want to upgrade to a larger processor.

Re: CW Mistakes
Absolutely right, the Nano is overloaded, and i2c writes to a display slow it down further.
However, sending CW is reasonably slow, even for a Nano clocked at 16mhz.
Lets assume we are shooting for

Keyers & the 'V6
I haven't gotten around to powering up my V6 yet, but I think my solution will likely work the best:? rework the Nano's program to remove the keyer portion, then use a Hamcrafters K44 external

Re: CW Mistakes
Hi,
I went back to using an external keyer just because of the clumsy operation of the built-in keyer in my V3. The uBitX then sees straight key operation regardless of what is outside the radio or

What is your WPM setting when doing the tests?? Does the error rate change with the WPM speed setting?
The reason I am asking is to see if it is related to the increased load on the

Re: CW Mistakes
Yes, using various voltage levels into an ADC was done
because of no remaining pins on the Nano.
Best to choose a processor with enough pins for the job

Hi Arv,
It's the factory uBITXv6 software. Slightly modified as to tuning rate, but
nothing that would affect CW. Apparently, the paddle input is an *analog* one. Three possible voltages are
