KD8CEC Firmware

 

I am probably shortly going to be installing the KD8CEC firmware on my ?Bitx.
I do have one question, will the Raduino retain the alignment settings, or will I have to redo all of the alignment steps?
 

The settings are carried over

After you get the KD8CEC firmware loaded I recommend that you also install his uBITX Memory Manager application on your PC.?

One very useful feature is the ability to read and decode the current data/settings from the Raduino and save them to a file on your?
computer. ?I recommend doing this right away before using it to modify any settings so that you have a baseline to return to should?
something get messed up later. This is especially important if you decide to try recalibration.

P.S. I got my Nextion 2.8" TFT Display so when a get some time this weekend I plan to move to KD8CEC V1.09b and give that I try.
I think that this display is going to be a "game changer" for this rig.?

I have also ordered a Nextion 2.8 display, but to run KD8CEC firmware, do I need to do any mods to the Ubitx? Thinking here of the CW side of things or does it implement the 2 resistor solution for paddles?

Virus-free.

No mods required to add a nextion display.
Only requires +5volts and gnd for power.
Two wires for connection to connector where old displayed plugged into.
The firmware must be the version which supports Nextion Displays.

The upgrade is basically to parts:

1. Install the new UBITX KD8CEC Nextion supported firmware.
2. Install the Nextion code file into the Nextion display :
? ? a. either by adding it (.tft file) to the microsd card and rebooting nextion display - then remove microsd card and reboot or
? ? b. uploading it from the Nextion Editor to the Nextion Display

Charlie :

You will need to add the two additional resistors if you want to use paddles on CW with the KD8CEC firmware.

Also you would require a hardware mod for the S-meter functionality on the 2.8" display to work.

Other features like IF-Shift and ATT don't require any additional mods to rig.?

I will let you know if there is anything else.

Saturday is Field Day here in NA so I will busy, but I hope to get my
new display up and running on Sunday.?
