RADUINO


kq2q2000
 

Hello,

I received a new BitX40 in December.

I see that the 2017 units come with a Raduino DDS

I would like to order one or two Raduino's. How do I do that?

I do not see them for sale on the webpage.

Thank you,

Bob? KQ2Q Danielsville, GA

Look back at messages.?
There was an email address that you send PayPay to and the serial?
numbers of the boards. I just told them I needed 2 and sent the money PayPal. I put how many raduinos i needed in the comment/message box on PayPal. Got them
In the mail a month or so later.?

I received my Raduino today, Yippee! The two things I did first was to change the green display to a blue one, and move the contrast pot to the back of the board so I can actually adjust it while looking at the display. It works perfect and is only off frequency by about 200Hz which I will calibrate once it's in the case. Well worth the additional $14.

Also received mine, will be moving the pot to the other side of the PCB as well.
Think I would prefer a blue display as well, will then match my QRP Labs U3.

Now to find a case to put it all in. Jury rigged on bench at the moment.

I like this one:



for $5.50, as it uses the I2C interface. That means you only have two data lines to connect, plus power and ground. It leaves more I/O pins free for other things. Terry King runs the place and is good people. He also has software examples for the display on his web site.

If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he also sales or sold metal cases. But I can't remember his name. I'll have to check my Paypal history.
