sBitx CW macros

 

I want to modify the macros for CW and I need help. The sBitx V3 user manual says that the macros are in ~/sbitx/data in a file named cw.mc or cw1.mc

There are no such files in that directory. It¡¯s been over 20 years since I last played with Linux. I¡¯m very rusty and I am having a hard time finding my way around.

VE2DPE,
?
Look in the web folder in the data folder.? There should be a CW1.mc file there.? Copy this to cw.mc and place it in the data folder.? I have not done this myself so that it could be misinformation.

VE2DPE,
?
Look in sbitx/data/web for the CW1.mc file.? You can use the file manager app in the Raspberry toolbar.? Copy it to the data folder and rename it to CW.mc.

Here is the original info from Ashhar Farhan on the file structure:

I edited CW1.mc and saved it as CW.mc to the /home/pi/sbitx/data folder.
That didn't work.
I saved it as CW1.mc to the /home/pi/sbitx/data folder.
That didn't work.
I renamed /home/pi/sbitx/web/CW1.mc as CW1bak.mc
Then I moved my edited CW1.mc from the /home/pi/sbitx/data folder to /home/pi/sbitx/web folder and now it works! :)
?
Why?
?
I took a look at /home/pi/sbitx/macros.c
?
The path to the macros is hardcoded in there as /home/pi/sbitx/web !
That's where sbitx looks for CW1.mc ... I think.

Before someone answers, please check that you entered the route correctly.
Claude, you correctly identified that the folder for the *.mc files is /home/pi/sbitx/web/
