My thanks to re the N8ME mods and files. I have them all downloaded and am reading the manual and updating my Arduino skills. ?Hope to see it working better and I am looking forward to doing something new. ?

I've just installed this version and really like it so far. ?The one problem I've seen so far is that it is not saving the keyer (type of keyer) setting when the rig is turned off.
Thanks to VU3GAO and N8ME for this.

Mark,
Please see attached for a patch to add makefiles to this firmware release. Its helpful for those of use using cli on a pi remotely with ubitx.
Cheers and thanks for the great firmware! It really makes the ubitx immensely more usable!
do you have a git repo?
|
To make buiding this easier without needing java, a gui, etc the steps are simple
* get proper toolchain from
* Unpack it in and move to /opt/arduino/
* Apply the makefiles patch to Mark's firmware (try -p1 if troubles)
* Build with GNU make

Joseph,
Thanks for your work on this. I always used a GUI to develop my code. I’ve never written any makefiles so I’m not sure I completely understand all that it does (there is a lot of it!).
I don’t have a repository.

The mk/ directory contains some freely available makefiles (as arduino-makefiles on debian-like systems). My ubitx lives up high on a mountain where I only can visit it from time to time. I switched to your firmware after noticing the tuning and touch screen were far less noisy than other firmwares? then i discovered the CAT bits! Great work! Anyways - if you dont mnd, I can drop the whole mess on my github. Latest version of you firmware i could find was the v2 with mods one in flles

Frank,
Thanks. The v2 from February 2021 was the last work I did on it. I got busy with other projects.
Feel free to post it to gitHub.
73,

I meant to say Joseph not Frank.
Feel free to post to GitHub.

Hello Howard,
I have fixed the minor bug of Keyer not saving.
Update file has been upload to the same location in the files section.
Please do try and let me know.
Thanks

not working for me Nitin.. cfg menu brings up some corrupt graphics. key mode not saved

Need help troubleshooting. #sketch-too-big
For those who have successfully installed the latest drop of N8ME_2_VU3GAO_Mods, what Arduino ISP version are you using?
-What are the parameters in the ISP you are using for a "stock" uBITX V6 complete kit? I have noodled with several:?
-Board: Arduino Mini
-Processor: ATmega328P
-Programmer ArdunoISP (and a couple of similar appearing entries)
I am getting the infamous "Sketch too big" error even after playing with several versions of the ISP and following Ashhar's description of compiling and loading the sketch.
part of error message reads: text section exceeds available space in board Sketch used 29214 bytes(101%) of available space. Maximum is 288672 bytes.
I don't mess with Arduino enough to have a clue what to comment out or otherwise eliminate that would allow a good compile. Have read something about eliminating the boot loader from compile, but isn't boot loader required to init the firmware?
Currently have ISP 1.8.12 installed.
Pretty obvious some parameter or other is not right and I am unable to prevent the bloat on compile.
A search of the messages found a lot addressing the issue for other firmware, but little useful for the N8ME/VU3GAO version.
Thanks in advance for any clear text, non jargon laden explanations offered.

You may need to use the LTS version of the Nextion editor. Look for it on the Nextion web page. I am away from my qth right now. ?If you can not find it I will post the link when I get home.?

Thanks for the quick answer Evan, ? Now I am confused (more). I thought that the Nextion editor construct was a separate issue from the uBITX V6 software compile. I am missing something(s) I guess. Is the Arduino uploading the Nextion HMI file (or its equivalent) from within this compile??? I was assuming that an HMI file for this Arduino software would be need to compiled and put on an SD Card in the display. Please point me to the resources I am missing here. I am obviously new to the uBITX world. ? 73 ? Jack Spitznagel – KD4IZ Associate Editor – AMSAT News Service AMSAT Ambassador kd4iz@... ? ? ?

You are correct. I should have read the email better. I will blame it on grandkids distraction.?
I have not run into the issue you describe. ?I would verify that you have the correct card selected and that you are using the old boot loader.?
Sorry for any confusion I created.?

Jack, I am at home and downloaded the newest file in the groups.io file section, extracted it, and compiled it.? I did not get any errors.? Here is the tools dropdown in the Arduino IDE:  73 Evan AC9TU

Jack,
I reread your post and noted that you have the wrong board selected.? See the Tools dropdown in my prior post.

Evan, ? Thanks… I was away from home all day. I am not offered the old bootloader option. I can set all the other options. Where/how do I fix that and obtain the missing bootloader? ? Jack KD4IZ ?

Jack, The option was on the version of Arduino IDE that I downloaded.? Here is a link to the Arduino web that explains how to add boards: The Board is an Arduino Nano.? The processor is ATmega328P (Old Bootloader). 73 Evan AC9TU
