Subject: [BITX20] Connection test between uBITX and digital communication program via cat communication #ubitx

?

Two days ago I wrote a CAT communication program for uBITX.?
It was tested through Ham Radio Deluxe and I posted that information through this group.
Perhaps the CAT communication test seems to have been completed with this posting.

I have tested using various software that is popular these days.
Posting about CAT communication testing is probably the last. But if you have amateur radio software that I did not think of, mail to me, Then I will test again.

1.WSJT-X
? ?uBITX(HF Tranceiver for Amateur radio) with wsjt-x software and CAT interface test
? ?

? ?result : perfect,?I was able to use wsjtx's rig control functions (Set, Get Frequency, PTT Control)

2.fldigi
??uBITX(HF Tranceiver for Amateur radio) with fldigi CAT interface test
??

? ?result : perfect,?I was able to use fldigi's rig control functions (Set, Get Frequency, PTT Control)

3.JT65-HF
??uBITX(HF Tranceiver for Amateur radio) with jt65-HF and CAT interface test
??

? ?result : perfect,?I was able to use fldigi's rig control functions (Set, Get Frequency, PTT Control)

4.FTBCAT
??uBITX(HF Tranceiver for Amateur radio) with FTBCAT and CAT interface test
?

? ?result : perfect,?I was able to use fldigi's rig control functions (Set, Get Frequency, PTT Control, vfoA / vfoB Change and more)

If you want to use ham radio deluxe to control uBITX and change the settings of uBITX, check out the previous post I registered.

Firmware for testing will be released shortly. If you do not like it after testing, you can always restore it with the original firmware so you do not have to worry.
There were various opinions in this group about source disclosure.
I will choose the best way to publish the source, apart from suggesting how to get some features into the original uBITX original source with github and how to publish the source separately.

I think most will be interested.? This also solves the immediate issue of how to implement CAT, though, one could always do their own.

rams, but I think there is much better way than that.

I will continue to add uBITX proprietary protocols in

Cool looking forward to it! Maybe?Ashhar can give you access and you can create a branch and a pull request. That's how most projects merge changes.

Very nice.? I will definitely do this with my raspberry pi using WSJTX.? So you’re controlling it with the USB port on the Ubitx??

Let us know when you have some working instructions that we can follow so we can make use of this also.?

Thx

I hope so too. I am still requesting a pullrequest with one or two bug fixes.

?

Farhan has a lot of stuff on his plate, his uBitx github repository may not see much activity.

The way it works with the Bitx40v3, the units being shipped now still have Farhan's original Raduino firmware from a year ago, bugs and all.
It's usable, but Allard took on the task of developing and managing the Raduino firmware.
Most people update their Bitx40v3 firmware from? ? ?
Allard has a philosophy of minimizing hardware changes to the stock Bitx40v3 to make it easy as possible.
Others have created their own firmware variants to support such things as shaft encoders for tuning, bigger displays, multiple bands.

Perhaps the uBitx firmware will develop in much the same way.

I can’t wait to try it out.. I found this mini usb ext. cable that can be mounted to make this all come together for a nice way to interface.

Ahh. New sw thats the resolution to my problem!!! Did manage te do something via cat with the original sw but got strange errors on uBitx. Cant wait

Hi Ian, I would very much like to test this firmware out, is it freely available or are you still sending out via emails?

Thanks,

Stian
