Here is?a modified version of the uBITX V6 firmware designed by N8ME and VU3GAO. It contains a new button layout, colors, and VFO changes. You can use XLoader to upload this file to your transceiver. Cosmetic modifications made by myself.?

Thanks for keeping this project alive.

I see you took camera pictures of the screen. Just FYI, there is a a option to make digital screen dumps. Compile the project with USE_SCREEN_DUMP defined in defines.h (it is normally commented out). Then use screen_dump.py (in the doc folder of the repository) to create a jpeg of the current screen.

I uploaded it and quite like the colors and functionality. Thanks for making this available to us.

Thank you Mark. Your software is great, BTW!? I will get better screenshots using your method.
 

You're welcome. When I started on the docs, it was a pain to manually create screenshots (I didn't like using a camera), so I figured out how to do a screen dump.

I updated the hex file this evening. Moved the CW Spot button, added IF Shift, and reverted to manual VFO save option so I could squeeze all of the functions in the Nano. I tested with WSJT-X and an external sound card interface. It works great! Please refer to Mark-N8ME's documentation if you have any questions on functionality.
 

It's turning out nicely. Now only one hole remains :-)

If the issue is that Python isn't finding the module, make sure that pyserial and Pillow are installed in your Python environment. Otherwise, I need more information on the issue.

Haha, yes. That is where the ATTN button would be if there were room on the Nano :)

Nice Job! It's now on my radio and I enjoy it.

Since it's easy enough to change colors, I change them to red and shades of red for night mode. -- Making a second color pallet that can be toggled takes a little more C experience than what I have now. :)
