ubitx 40 Connection
Thanks. I also wanted to make sure they sent me the right stuff.

I'll finger out the circuit and plug it in. I also want to put a little metal heat dissipation on the 7805 tab so it will run a little cooler in case it runs hot. Thanks again for the corroboration, Bob — KK5R -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 1/22/19, Jerry Gaffke via Groups.Io <jgaffke@...> wrote:
Subject: Re: [BITX20] ubitx 40 Connecdtion To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, January 22, 2019, 7:08 PM Bob, I think you have it figured out. The 5 pin cable goes on the end of the 16 pin connector that's nearest the 7805 regulator. They only build one version of the raduino, one that plugs into a uBitx. So all raduinos now have the 16 right angle header pins on the bottom. Back when hfsignals only sold the Bitx40, it had a 5 pin connector on the end near the 7805 regulator, leaving 11 unused holes in that row of 16. Another change is that the Nano is socketed, so easy to swap out if you blow an IO cell. However, if you buy a replacement Nano, be sure to get one that does not yet have the? header pins soldered in place, because they must be installed on the "wrong" side of the board. The only other change to the raduino is that they all come with uBitx firmware (I believe). You will likely have to flash it with Bitx40 firmware. There have been no board layout changes to the raduino since it first came out in late 2016. Jerry, KE7ER On Tue, Jan 22, 2019 at 03:40 PM, Bob Lunsford wrote: Just got the BITX40 today. I had the uBitx before and sold it to a man who wanted to run digital. It was a dream to put together, no problem whatsoever. But the picture on the wire-up page for the BITX40 does not show the same thing for the Raduino that I got today. I do not want to assume too much but it seems the 5-pin connector plugs into the 16-pin connector but it's not clear if it's to be put in on one or the other end. The 16-pin connector is labeled P3. Off to one end of the board is U3 which is a 3-pin regulator, it seems. I think I know where the 5-pin connector goes but want to make sure... Bob — KK5R |
