My future BITX20 case and extras


 

Also, one person, I forget the name, wanted to know how I mounted the raduino to the display with the standoffs.
?Let state, first, I bought a BITX40, the slightly older version from HFsignals, that was VFO And it came with 4 standoffs for the board.
?Just after they came out with the Raduino, and I A: bought another BITX40 with raduiono, which came with 4 standoffs, and a raduino by itself, which came with 4 standoffs. It was logical to me to use 4 standoffs to mount the display to the raduino.

?I also placed pins on a blue 16X2 display and swapped it for the yellow/green dis[play that came with the raduinos.
?Only real difference is the display colors.

?Also, you can fit a 20X4 display, I think, main differences are the mounting holes, size, and the fact that simply adding it will only use 2 lines, as it takes more coding for the extra lines
?Plus. of course, a larger opening in the panel for it.
?One can also switch it to serial, which also involves more coding.
?I have not tried any coding yet. Will be a while before I do.

?I plan to use a mega something, I forget the # right now.
?It has pins for a lot more possibilities. May also simply do one using an UNO, as I have two, one Arduino UNO and one UNO, not Arduino.
?Both should work about the same, using an ADAFRUIT Si5351 (?).
?I'm terrible with names, LOL

?Oh well.


 

Vu2pop is giving better enclosures with all speaker knobswt. Bnc, bezels for16x2 and 2.8 or3.2 nextion, nano extention cable etc.? Enclsure slanting stand pices, etc. The cost may not be cutting drilling could bw avioded.

He once published photos,i remember

There are others also like sunil.

?The cases I want are to be able to do custom rigs.
?I figure out what I need to fit the boards I'll be using.
?What is right for some is not always right for another.
?What I have chosen gives me space for exciter, PA/Power supply, and some other add in/on boards.
?I did look at other cases. Just were not what i wanted.


 

Got it.
All the best please.
