sBitx V3 Board


 

Hi, I was thinking about getting the V3 board.? I want to use it with an 11 inch display, so was curious about how the multi knob and VFO were attached.? Are they on a separate board.? If they are on the main board then I guess a 11 display would not work, unless they would be easy to remove from the board and attach them to a different case


 

They are on a separate board connected with a supplied FRC cable to the main board.

Hello N4GW,

The two encoders are on a separate board as described on the HFSignals page:


Buy a fully tested sBitx-v3 board with the heatsink mounted. Build your own customized sBitx for fun and hacking.? Included are:

  1. A fully tested sBitx-v3 board with heatsink mounted
  2. 32 GB SD card loaded with the sbitx software
  3. Tuning/Function encoders mounted on the front-panel PCB with the connecting cable
  4. XT60 connector with wires to connect to the power supply
  5. M3 mounting nuts, screws and stand-offs
  6. Power switch with leads to plug into the PCB

You will have to supply your own box, display, mouse, keyboard,? microphone and Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi Zero 2W

Thanks, I just found you video on it and saw the separate board.? ?Can I put a longer cable on the board?


 

Absolutely!? I've mounted the encoders in a box with a PTT and mic input so i can tuck the board itself out of the way.
