I have not posted it on my blog separately since it is a test version. When the test is complete, ?write a usage and post it. I am writing for someone who is interested and test.? If I get an error report or a fix, I'll fix it and make it into github's 0.31 branch. Here is a brief description of the change from 0.30. improved CW Keying, Frequency Tune and CW performance according to users' requirements. In particular, CW Keying applied ron's logic for use with original hardware. also made it possible to set the CW Key ADC range to reduce errors in CW. ADC monitoring function is added to know the exact resistance and key contact status.
I thought that if you set your own ADC range using the measured values here, you would get an error.?I need to test these things, so I leave this post. removed all existing sources related to frequency tune.?And i applied threshold, weight about speed, and steps. The problem of changing the frequency at the moment of catching the knob has probably disappeared. when the threshold has been exceeded, start frequency changing,?i added some logic to prevent the thresholds from becoming unnatural. If you want to fine-tune, slowly turn it and the threshold will be applied continuously and change very slowly. The tune steps you can select now are 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, but you can change them in uBITX Manager 0.31 (now working)
You can change the step by pressing the function key for a long time. If you keep pressing it, Diallock will work.
The ham band movement applied at 0.28 was set to 0.30, so that region1 was set as the default.
Of course, you can change to the previous operation state by pressing the function key in the band select menu for a long time.
And like the 0.28 version, you can set up to 10 frequency bands in uBITX Manager to suit your country or your liking.

The v.30 with Ron’s CW Keying code does include adding the 4.7k pull-up at A7, as a modification to hardware.
I’m planning on adding both 4.7K chip resistors directly on the pads of the Raduino so there are no loose resistors to mount at the key jack(s).

Good Idea Dave, I did that on one of mine earlier. ?I used 1206 size, but 0805 might fit better. ?No current so wattage is not a factor.

Thanks for your information.
My modified code (Ron's cw keying) does not use A7 for factory shipping users.
Until now, the firmware concept was applied without modification of the hardware.
I am going to end this project because I do not have any further improvements without hardware modifications.
When additional uBITX?order arrives, I try to do a variety of fun H / W hacks.At that time, I will use A7 as Paddle and connect to S.Meter.

I commend you on your latest software Beta release (v0.30). This
worked faultlessly for me, and I loved being able to adjust the
step rate (I have it set on 10Hz now).?
The band stacking registers and band switching is fantastic.? I
had intended modding the software myself to get band stacking and
easy ham band switching, but I no longer need to bother!? I may
still add front panel buttons for band up/band down functions, but
the menu band changing function is fairly handy already.? It would
be good to have a SPLIT function (in addition to A/B) and perhaps
a limited number of programmable memories (10?).?
I like the way that you can select either ham bands or general
coverage RX.? You go into the band change menu, and then hold the
switch down for longer to toggle between modes.?
I have some minor suggestions for improvement.? The main thought
would be to change the display of the RIT function to show the
frequency offset rather than the absolute frequency (i.e. show
-0.415 KHz or +0.001 kHz etc).? This reflects how most people
think of incremental tuning.? Once you are done setting the RIT
and exit the menu it would show the absolute frequency as normal
on the display while the RIT still turned on.? The display should,
however, continue to display "RIT"/? There is a whole other line
above the frequency display to show function settings on RX.?
Similarly you could show the keyer mode on the first line (e.g.
STRAIGHT, IAMBICA, IAMBICB).
I love the way in which you have corrected the frequency display
below 1MHz and opened up the RX to 1kHz to 100MHz.?? A shorter
press allows you to set the step function.?? A long press on the
dial switch gives you dial lock.? This works well.? I like the way
the step speed increases when you turn the dial faster, but the
dial no longer goes crazy, throwing you half a Megahertz away on
outside the ham band.?? Well done!
The function to monitor ADC levels could be very useful for those
having issues with CW keying. My uBITx has always worked fine with
both manual and paddle keys.? This suggests that the resistor
tolerances are probably a bit narrow.? My resistor values may be
closer tolerance than what others have received.?? A check on the
monitor function shows this to be the case.
I didn't find documentation on exactly how the ADC monitoring
function works.? I believe it shows a continuous stream of
readings on the port (0 to 1023) with 6 readings at a time. ?
However, I don't think you can exit from this function without
turning off the rig?? This allows you to press dit, dah or the
manual key to get a reading for the ADC value being received by
the arduino.?? This then allows the setting ranges to be adjusted.
If you are still fence sitting about a software upgrade you
shouldn't be! ? Upgrading the stock software is reasonably
straight forward.?? Let me tell you that if you have a stock
uBITx, you should definitely be downloading this sketch and
increasing functionality and ease of use.? It is a fine effort.?

First, there was a problem with previous H / W compatibility.?Are you using a straight key?
The concept of this firmware is that it can be used without any modification. Please upgrade only once again. also You need to set the key.?You can select Paddle and Paddle from the setup menu.

Thank you to everyone. I upgraded to v.31 and set for a straight key.? It is working again.
I see in the new manager an option for a S meter.? What is needed to get that to function?? I hope to have AGC added, tonight, so I could pull the voltage from that and use a 5v zener to prevent over voltage to a pin...
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to making this an even better radio!

Here is a brief description of the change from 0.30.
improved CW Keying, Frequency Tune and CW performance according to users' requirements.
In particular, CW Keying applied ron's logic for use with original hardware. also made it possible to set the CW Key ADC range to reduce errors in CW.
ADC monitoring function is added to know the exact resistance and key contact status.
I thought that if you set your own ADC range using the measured values here, you would get an error.?I need to test these things, so I leave this post. removed all existing sources related to frequency tune.?And i applied threshold, weight about speed, and steps. The problem of changing the frequency at the moment of catching the knob has probably disappeared. when the threshold has been exceeded, start frequency changing,?i added some logic to prevent the thresholds from becoming unnatural. If you want to fine-tune, slowly turn it and the threshold will be applied continuously and change very slowly. The tune steps you can select now are 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, but you can change them in uBITX Manager 0.31 (now working)
You can change the step by pressing the function key for a long time. If you keep pressing it, Diallock will work.
The ham band movement applied at 0.28 was set to 0.30, so that region1 was set as the default.
Of course, you can change to the previous operation state by pressing the function key in the band select menu for a long time.
And like the 0.28 version, you can set up to 10 frequency bands in uBITX Manager to suit your country or your liking.

Hello Ian.
Many thanks for the updated firmware for the uBITX. Makes it much better to tune.

Thanks for information.
So far, what I wanted was a minimal real transceiver function.
Now, before I finish this concept (without h/w modification), I am going to put in one or two fun features (very small) today.

Ian,
I am running .030 also and it works very well. It would be very helpful if there was some documentation to detail the features and how to access them. Thank you for doing this as the uBITX is now more like a real transceiver. 73

You've looked at uBITX Manager. yes i added it at 0.31. for next concepts (with h/w modification) but,?You will soon be able to try out the other of the fun. alwayis info. scroll info. Now I have added a very small funny feature.

Thank you to everyone. I upgraded to v.31 and set for a straight key.? It is working again.
I see in the new manager an option for a S meter.? What is needed to get that to function?? I hope to have AGC added, tonight, so I could pull the voltage from that and use a 5v zener to prevent over voltage to a pin...
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to making this an even better radio!
