Dear group,
I printed out the .stl file that was on the website but it was
different that the one shown in the pictures.?
The .stl file that was on the website doesn't have the bolt down
base on it.?? So that makes it very difficult
to install on the PC board.? Does anyone have the .stl files for
the one with the base?
here is what the one I printed look like:

Take care and have fun.

Hi Ashhar,
I think you never sleep.? I appreciate your dedication to the project but man, you've got to rest.
This is from the github from the JS8Call site:?
My guess is you already have this.
Cheers, Scott

LOL.? You're right.? I should probably get out of the habit of doing a sudo bash first thing when I bring up a terminal....

..and, maybe again? ;)
should probably start with a 'sudo'; i.e.:? sudo chown pi:pi
/home/pi/sbitx/data/user_settings.ini
(and type in the user's (pi) password if prompted)
...even though the file is in the user's directory (and the user
has full permissions there), they lack sufficient privilege to
alter the file ownership away from root

Hi Ashhar,
I figured out the user_settings.ini file
issue; the file was owned by root.? Thanks!
For future reference for others, do a:
chown root:root

Unrelated question: I'm thinking of doing
some pull requests for contributing some functionality
for your consideration.? I have in mind customization
settings for the user interface (colors, etc.).? Also
thinking of a customization for the frequencies on the

Greetings,
A few initial observations:
1) Several times I¡¯ve gotten the rig into a
weird state where CW sending from the
keyboard just cycles in and out of transmit
and receive, and the only way to get out of
the cycling is exiting the app.? Attempts to
transmit with the key put the rig in TX, but
no RF out.? I¡¯ve haven¡¯t attempted QSOs yet,
I just have a 40 meter antenna connected?
with the power down to 1 watt.? Once the rig
gets into this weird state, the only way I
can get it out of it is sometimes by
switching bands, but usually I have to do a
full OS shutdown and power reset.? I¡¯m still
gathering data points.
2) I noticed my sbitx doesn¡¯t write to the
data/user_settings.ini file.? No big deal
right now, I edit it with vi.
3) I was seeing a lot of errors with a Dell
keyboard connected up.? Often the rig would
display a send a U instead of a V.? I
connected up an Apple keyboard and I¡¯m not
noticing the errors.
4) CW T/R time is quite long.? I see a
cw_delay=1000 setting.? I attempted to
change this to 500, but the problem above
(#1) is getting in the way of me testing
this.
5) The OFF button might better be labeled
EXIT, and CLOSE is more like a ¡°minimize¡±
button (perhaps a down arrow, like what is
used in the Pi GUI would be more
appropriate?? (Perhaps have it that button
label can be customized in
user_settings.ini?)
6) I¡¯m definitely getting the Wi-Fi noise
into the audio.? I¡¯ve turned off Wi-Fi and
I¡¯m using wired Ethernet for now, with no
noise issues.
7) Any way to send sbitx \ commands to the
app via the operating system (i.e. command
line)?
8) It appears \ commands are case
sensitive.? Perhaps accepting CAPS for
commands might avoid user issues?
9) Any chance for a wide AM detector?? Maybe
this is some code I could develop once I get
my bearings¡.
Overall, I¡¯m really excited about this rig.?
Lots of potential.

Re: Postman came with a box from hfsignals
By some odd?coincidence, I started receiving DHL Phishing emails right after I ordered.? I haven't received any other confirmation, either, but after getting all of these fake tracking alerts, I emailed HFsignals and was told my order would ship in a couple of days.? Still waiting, but I have no time to devote to it at the moment anyway.

The groups.I'm bitx20 group has over 7,000 members, and the group currently covers several different HFSIGNALS products/designs. If a second groups.io were created I'd join it (I have an sBitx on order), so the qty of mail I'd receive from both groups wouldn't change.
The current members of bitx20 likely fall into one of three groups: A) No interest in sBitx at all B) Mild interest in sBitx (potential future customer or just curious) C) Own/have on order an sBitx
I suspect group A's desire to ignore threads related to sBitx could be managed by list members getting in the habit of including hashtags in the subject if radio-specific posts, be it #bitx20, #bitx40, #ubitx, or #sbutx. It will never be perfect, but if many/most do this individual list members can trim the number of emails they see.
I suspect hfsignals is really only interested in having all comms in one group.
Just a thought, Ken, N2VIP

I was wondering what the earlier mail about chown root:root would do! I think that we can read the ui layout from another text file, lets say called layout.ini. Each section of the file layouts out one control.? Upon loading, it can relocate and resize the layout. All the stuff like fonts and colours are in tables that can be re-read. It will be fun to have this. One could have differenr layouts for different modes. - f

Re: Adding I2C Encoders
#sBitx
Peter, The I2C took away months of my life. It turned out that wm8731 is very finicky with I2C. So, I left the original I2C with the WM8731 (the audio codec) and instead, but banged a second line to be used with the Si5351 on the main board. The routines to be called are in the si5351v2.c file. This also explains why it is suffixed with v2, the earlier version tried using the system I2C bus. - f

I plan to tap into the SDA/SCL connection on the digital board in order to wire up 2 x Duppa i2c encoders, I assume this shouldn't cause any issues for the codec or the 5351 ? I also noted you seem to be using bit bang for the i2c comms.

With the DRIVE_BIAS POT all the way counterclockwise the current increase was .210 mA, so I left it there. The first 3/4 turn of the PA_BIAS_POT had no effect and the adjustment to hit 200 mA was very sensitive in the remaining space.

If cost is a concern, reliable mailing lists can be had for $3.40/month for 1000 users from mailmanlists.net.? I've used them for years and found them very reliable and responsive.? Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of groups.io, but then they mostly aren't used anyway.

Oh, silly me, you are talking about driving a pin from the RPI when TX is active (I think).? Right?

Re: sBitx antenna-first warning
As a weekend hacker, there is no way to describe all the ways I've threatened my uBITX finals.? There seems to be as many boneheaded missteps on the normally short road to an antenna as there are stars seen by the James Web Telescope
Giving the remarkable sBITX even a small ability to self-protect from knuckleheads like me (and I am not alone, hahah), seems like giving the sBITX a fighting chance to deal with some number approximating infinity of "opps."

I plan to tap into the SDA/SCL connection on the digital board in order to wire up 2 x Duppa i2c encoders, I assume this shouldn't cause any issues for the codec or the 5351 ? I also noted you seem to be using bit bang for the i2c comms.
