Here's a link to the discussion:?

It's a very simple mod. You'll need to print the holder and some jumper wires to go to the RTC header.??

Würde mich auch interessieren. Gibt es schon irgendwelche Infos?

I am curious about the voltmeter mod. Which two gpio pins does it connect to? I saw it uses two but the notes dont mention which ones.?

The discord server has answers to your questions..? ?:)

David,

I believe it piggybacks the real time clock modules I2C pins and power pins.

A diagram ( documentation ) of mounting the INA260 Power Sensor thanks

The 3D STL mount file and wiring diagram is on our Discord server :)

Works great!

Thanks a lot for sharing

• Added power down button from sbitx menu 2
• Added Macro chooser button in the main GUI for FT8/CW modes
• Added full spectrum/waterfall button for CW modes
• Added current/voltage meter display functionality for INA260 Power Sensor add-on hardware
• Added max-hold visualization for POWER and corrected SWR calculation in the case of little or no FWD POWER
• Added AUTOSCOPE in MENU 2 which adjusts the vertical offset of the scope and the base value for the waterfall automatically, making it easier to see signals clearly.

• Fixed the Macro change screen refresh when changing macros
• Fixed the CW Macro issue when the delay/WPM were set at a threshold
• Adjusted CW shaping timing and reduced from 20ms to 4ms for improved CW transmission
• Fixed the "crashing" noise in voice, FT8, and DIGI modes

I'm late to the party, but following instructions found somewhere here, I was able to download the 64bit operatingsystem+sBitx.... get it WinRar extracted, and then RaspberryPiImager written to a micro sd card and then inserted into the #2 sBitx that I bought used? (THANKS, I forgot who sold it to me, but you did a great job!) -- and it WORKS.? ?Very pleased.

The screen brightness ended up quite DARK.? ?googling a bit I found a file named "brightness" that had the value 31 in it, and I increased that to 128 and bingo! all is well.? ? This is a major step forward for ME!? ?I suspect I can take my older source code now and recompile, or take portions I have improved and stick them into this current 64-bit source, where needed.? ?

?

(The s-meter looks nice!)??

?

Congratulations on providing this complete image!? ?

Thanks for this! Best quick reference doc out there!

A two-page help for those who get lost among the buttons and control commands.
The internal shielding (between the rpi and the pcb and on the lcd display cable) determines the noise-freeness of the receiver's sensitivity and the adjustability of the IF to a higher level. The default values ??in the description may therefore be different for you.

ps.: I changed the previous similar message, due to some stylistic errors.

Tune has never worked in FT8 to my knowledge.

I mean when I push the tune button, it doesen?t tune when in FT8 mode.

I am using ATU.

Johan,
what exactly do you mean when you say: I have a problem with tuning ft8?

If you mean setting the ft8 transmit frequency, then that is only possible with the TX_PITCH setting.
The reason is that the ft8 program had to be rewritten for the 7" display.

Hello!

Very nice job you are doing !

But I still have problem with tuning when mode is FT8.

It just tunes for some mS and that's it.

When I change to CW it tunes just fine.

• Additional Menu with More Functions: Access a range of new settings and options easily through an enhanced menu system.
• Waterfall Speed Control (WFSPD): Fine-tune the speed of the waterfall display to suit your preferences.
• Adjustable Bandscope Controls: New controls for ScopeGain, ScopeAvg, ScopeSize, and Intensity allow you to personalize the bandscope display.
• Adjustable Tune Duration (TNDUR): Set tuning from 2 to 30 seconds, with the ability to cancel the function by pressing TUNE again.
• Tune Power Level Adjustment per Band: Store and recall specific tune power levels for each band.
• Colorized Bandscope in Web Interface: A vibrant, easy-to-read bandscope.

• ePTT Control: Corrected behavior in the Web interface for a smoother remote operating experience.
• Refined Screen Layout: Redesigned main and menu screen button arrangements for better usability.
• Improved CW Keying: Enhanced polling for internal and external keyers for improved performance. Thanks to KB2ML for the contribution!

We can look at the source code and redo the interface. ?
