Opinion question on new build #ubitx #nextion


 

As I¡¯m waiting for my kit to arrive I have a question for you guys. Initially I was going to build the kit with the LCD display that comes with it and then at some point I want to upgrade to the Nextion display. As I¡¯m planning to build the case I¡¯m thinking maybe I should just build it with the Nextion display right from the start to avoid having to modify the case.?

Any reason I shouldn¡¯t ???


 

I would recommend first using the standard display to insure that the main board works.? I was able to position the 3.2" nextion display opening such that the standard display could be seen through the hole for testing.? This way you know where to look for any issues that come up at first.? The KD8CEC software is GREAT, however you add a number of other potential issues with version compatibility that are best tackled AFTER any bugs are worked out with the stock parts you are going to keep.? You also get a feel for how the radio sounds and operates first, then add the "extras" later.

The above is my opinion based on my experiences.? Yours may be different.

My uBITX is due to arrive by the end of the week and, like you, my head is full of ideas from trolling this group and the rest of uBITX on the net..? repeatedly I hear what Evan is saying.. I have an old aluminum phone system powersupply encosure that I may just have an open front on until I see how it goes..? currently think I will try the cat control from an android app or pc instead of better display..?

Too many options, slow and steady wins the race
