Hello!
I downloaded the ubitx source code off github, and successfully compiled and uploaded it to the radio. As a
"Hello World" experiment, I changed "LSB" to "PSB" on the display. Then changed it back. :)
The Nano seems to be pretty maxed out. 93% of program ROM used. Are there any more powerful boards available out there? More rom, faster clock?
Screen update is pretty slow. The rig would be more pleasant if it was faster, especially the frequency display.
Anybody know what's the bottleneck?
Are there any unused I/O pins on the Nano? Such could be used to do a bit of profiling - you output pulses at
strategic spots in the code, and watch them with a scope.

Thanks Jack,
I suppose I should have been more specific - a more powerful board that
would fit in the same form factor and at least more or less plug in. Although
amazing things can be done with little green jumper wires :).
I actually have a couple of ESP32 WROOM cards right here on the desk. Thanks
for the table.

I don't think you'll find one that's an exact match. I think Jim Sheldon, W0EB, made some kind of PCB that allowed a Teensy to plug into a Nano socket, but I'm not sure.

Jack and others,
I have a actual Raduino replacement kit available for the V6 that is designed specifically for the Teensy 4.1 and uses your original display. ?The teensy 4.1 plugs into the back side upside down similar to the way the nano does on the original. ?Details are on the Triumirate Skonk Works (TSW) website, www.w0eb.com though you have to email me for ordering details.
We also make an adapter kit that allows the earlier, smaller, Teensy 4.0 to plug into the NANO socket on an original V6 Raduino.

Jim,
I¡¯d be interested in purchasing the Teensy 4.1 adapter kit from you. I have the uBITX v6 so it sounds like there wouldn¡¯t be any problem with the conversion. I have the Nextion 5¡± Enhanced Display. Will your adapter work with this display? ?I¡¯m not sure how to go about finding your email address, Can you provide your email address for me or explain how I would go about getting it? Thank you in advance.

Robert, AG6LK?

None of TSW offerings support the Nextion.?
All info is at

Thanks for this link . I have started to study it and finds it can provide a wonderful uBitx with the choice of IARU regions, a faster answer to commands, keyboard and mouse control and many other improvements.?
