THANKS it worked ,my only problem remained the clock at the application I Please as I do to adjust the time I entered the file sbitx_gtk.c I made the changes to lines 2300 in sbitx_gtk,c is the function,
?
time_t time_sbitx(){
? ? ? if (time_delta)
? ? ? ? ? ?return (millis()/1000l) + time_delta;
? ? ? ?else
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? return time(NULL); But nothing has changed how I can solve thanks!

Ioan,
Simply download the .zip from the drexjj/sbitx 64-bit site. The TZ fix is already built in here.
The currently available 64-bit sbitx_gtk.c includes additional cw macro fixes. After unpacking, copy the sbitx_gtk.c file to the sbitx folder, then build it with the ./build sbitx command.?If you haven't done this yet, make a copy of the sbitx folder first. There are many things you can do with File Manager.

Thank you for assisting, Gyula!

I don't know how to do it build it with the ./build sbitx command

Ok. An alternative is to follow the instructions here.??? The terminal is the >_ symbol on your desktop application bar.  Hope that helps -JJ

jj thank you for the instructions, the 64-bit version works for me as well as the application box version 2.2 created by you, the only shortcoming is the change of the time on the application the change in sbitx_gtk.c even if I change lines 2300-2303 I don't know how I can make it activated!

You should be able to run this command to download the modified gtk file and update your system if you installed my version using the "git pull" command initially.

Is there a way to disable (by-pass) the SWR/PWR sensing or function in the code??
Can we add a Si5351 calibration option into the toolbox please

Hi. I can take a look at these. Can you provide more context to this? Are you asking about changing the clock frequency in the Si5351 or BFO calibration? What is the reason for removing the SWR/PWR bridge code? -JJ

I'm homebrewing the sBITX and building only the Exciter board at the present.?
Although I have a provision for the ATTiny chip on board I don't plan to use it or bypass it.?
For the Si5351, I wanted an easy way to calibrate or set the exact clock frequency.?

Hi. I did some research on the requests and don't think the masses will find this useful as part of the Toolbox. The Toolbox is designed for a functional radio as icing on the cake. Explanation 1. The TXCO clock frequency requires a change to si5351v2.c and then the system must be recompiled using ./build sbitx. You can simply adjust the clock frequency in the file and test with lab equipment. Line 44-46 is where to make the changes.
#define PLLFREQ (xtal_freq_calibrated * PLL_N)
//int xtal_freq_calibrated = 25012725; // crystal oscillator?
int xtal_freq_calibrated = 25000000; // tcxo
Explanation 2. The ATTiny module can be stripped out of the code, but you will require changes to many files. it is best to do this on your own for a customized build. Sorry - My efforts are focused on improvements to other enhancements and features at this time. -JJ

All,
I've updated the Toolbox for 32 bit to v2.2. This release includes the USB Audio/Headset Controller app. You can get it here?? or press the Check for Updates button from the menu if you are using v2.0 or v2.2.
ICYMI - I also released v2.2 for the 64 bit version as well. It includes the USB Audio/Headset app as well. You can get it from??
Enjoy!
-JJ

Charudatt, The software runs fine without the SWR/PWR bridge, ATTiny chip or the RTC clock module installed.?

Inject a known 10MHz frequency into the receiver and zero beat to see how farr off the calibration is.?

This hint alone would have saved me weeks of fruitless debugging. 73, Dean KK4DAS

Thanks Dean for your inputs.?
I have my own PCB drafted for the project and have already incorporated the 12 Mhz input for the WM8731 chip.?
Sooner, I'll share my project details with the group as well as PCB files

Hi Dean Thank you for your valuable input on this. I hope you have a happy Easter! -JJ

All -? Here is a sneak peak of the next app coming for the sBitx Toolbox.. This is a voice keyer app that you can use for activations, contests, DX seekers, etc. It records audio from the hand mic and stores the files to be transmitted later.

@JJ YAAAASSSSSSS!!! You're the best!!! Can't wait!

@Everyone, sBITX ToolBox for the 64bit version has been updated to v2.3 which now includes a new app called Voice KeyerVoice Keyer is an application that allows you to record, store, and transmit prerecorded voice messages commonly used in contests, DXing, POTA activations, and more.  If you already have the Toolbox for 64 bit installed, then press the Update Check button to download the new release.Information and instructions are available at??and?? I will release a 32bit version soon. Please note that this will most likely be the final release for 32bit as my efforts focus on 64bit development. I encourage you to download and install the 64bit sBitx, Raspberry Pi image at?? and use it going forward. Support for the old, operating system version, that HF Signals provides, is end of life and end of support for security and feature updates in June 2024. Thanks, JJ

For some reason the update button is not working for me. Can you give me the command line to update manually

@Everyone,
sBITX ToolBox for the 64bit version has been updated to v2.4 which now includes a new app called?Time Keeper
Time Keeper is a utility that syncs the real-time clock (RTC) module inside your sBitx transceiver to the system clock or
accurate time source. Useful for off-network communications and data modes.
Other changes include..
-
Corrected log exporter utility to add a leading 0 where necessary on the adif export.
-
Added web folder backup to EZData backup utility.
If you already have the Toolbox for 64 bit installed, then press the Update button to download the new release automatically. Visit
to see instructions and download a new copy. The user guide is here ?
Enjoy and 73,
JJ W9JES
