Re: What mic will work with the sbitx.
No I never got a real answer except, any cell phone mic or gaming mic/headset. Now to find a gaming headset that is not USB or a cell phone that isn't TRRS has been an adventure with no joy. I am been attempting to rewire and existing speaker mic.? You? would think they would sell mic as an option. If I get it workong or find one I will let you?know.? Good? luck.

Re: SBitx: Red LED on microphone
Mark,
I tried one of my v6 mics with the sBitx.? It kind of worked, though very low audio compared to the supplied mic.? Here is an old message from ReedN where he drew a schematic of the internal mic wiring: /g/BITX20/message/79608 The v6 "Baofeng" mic LED shorts out some of the drive for the mic element.? You can try removing the LED and see if that helps with the audio drive into the sBitx. You can go through the entire thread to see what was done to correct the issue. 73 Evan AC9TU |

Re: Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display (./sbitx)
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJohn - it's difficult to troubleshoot your setup since it appears you are trying to do some unique things. It's odd that all the files in your sbitx directory were owned by root. There are other files in your home (pi) directory that will cause problems if they are given root ownership. Were you using git as root when you pulled the files from github?Are you able to start ANY programs from the command line that open a graphic window on the sbitx display, such as fldigi or xlogo? Something that may be useful to try is to enter the command xhost + on the command line, then try to run sbitx or another program such as fldigi or xlogo. You normally should not have to do that, but it seems that there's a permission issue with x programs getting access to the display. 73, Steve, N3SB? -------- Original message -------- From: "John Terrell, N6LN" <N6LN@...> Date: 9/30/22 3:32 PM (GMT-05:00) Subject: Re: [BITX20] Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display (./sbitx) |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI figured it out. ?(This applies if you¡¯re attempting to launch sbitx via an SSH session):DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY cd ~/sbitx ./sbitx

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOh, I see the problem. ?Evan¡¯s message made me go back and look at the pictures in the email thread again. ?You¡¯re attempting to launch sbitx in an ssh session, correct? ?If so, that will not work unless you set an environmental variable to tell the app where to connect to the Xserver.You need to set a variable in your environment. ?I think it¡¯s DISPLAY, but I can¡¯t seem to get it to work here. ?I¡¯m still trying¡. ?Rest assured, this is the problem.

Re: Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display (./sbitx)
Hi John,
Your prior email stated, "on your Windows machine."? ? Is that a Windows10 or 11 OS?? If so, there has been a security update recently, and your Xwindow server on your PC may have been broken.? Try connecting to another Raspberry Pi if you have one. If it is a flavor of Linux or UNIX, ignore this email. 73 Evan AC9TU |

Re: What mic will work with the sbitx.
Did you ever find out what mic works with the sBitx???
I have a mic that came with the uBitx v3 that I assembled and it seemed to work but I got reports of some kind of noise in the audio. So I wanted to try another mic to see if that was the problem. Maybe they can tell us where the mic that comes with the full version of the sBitx was sourced from.? Anybody know? ?? |

Re: Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display (./sbitx)

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt¡¯s not an sbitx hardware issue. ?It¡¯s strictly within the Pi.The IT guy in me wants to tell you to deinstall Xwindows and reinstall, though that may be like throwing a hand grenade. If you run sbitx like this: cd ~/sbitx sudo ./sbitx ¡do you still get the error?

Re: Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display (./sbitx)
The odd thing is that it worked a week ago. Figuring it is a software problem I burned a new image to a new se card and did a new build so that sbitx is now v1.1 but the problem persists. Could it be a hardware issue? ?I¡¯ve rechecked the 40 pin connector. It¡¯s fine. Also the connection to the display board would seem to be good because the screen displays the GUI perfectly. I know very little about Gtk, so adding code to generate debugging messages isn¡¯t very practical.?

Re: Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display (./sbitx)
Anthony Good
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýsbitx outputs a few messages on stdout, but nothing of real significance (yet). ?The error you¡¯re seeing is (obviously) from the Gtk library and it¡¯s having problems with Xwindows. ?I¡¯m just not sure what. ?It¡¯s acting like it can¡¯t connect to the Xwindows server. ?That can happen when one launches an X11 app in another tty, but you¡¯re clearly launching within a terminal session within Xwindows. ?I¡¯m stumped at the moment.

Re: Sbitx #165 received today, thoughts.
Raj,
That C14 tests suggest that K9 relay is either in NC state at the wrong times along with U3 or enough leakage though to make a big high power oscillator. Do we know if any of the relay coils have diodes across them?? Allison ------------------ Please use the forum, offline and private will go to bit bucket. |

Re: Sbitx #165 received today, thoughts.
Raj,
I am aware of Farhan's C14 test, have looked and tested.? The question is why is that happening.? ?I have ideas that? ?have been shared.? ?And doing my own investigation. Due to reading everything I was aware the finals issue so initial startup was very carefully conducted.? Now I'm into hunting down a fix.
