ubitx v6 cat-only operation firmware


 

Hi all,

I'm developing a firmware for use without the screen, just over CAT,
with some pins assignments for my project needs, but which can be easily
wiped out. A totally new protocol is used for CAT control with full 1 Hz
precision on frequency, BFO and Mastercal commands, soon to be
documented. Also the userland is present in tools folder:

Rafael's idea sounds very interesting.? I am probably going to order a complete '6 soon.? This would be an improvement over that small screen for my old eyes.? I will likel? set it up on my netbook running Linux Mint and using ht Fldigi software.

I'm enjoying doing all from the computer, especially the calibration
procedure! Btw, is the first IF frequency also a good variable to be
accessible through serial command?

Is your project a standalone firmware or does it come in complement to the basic uBitx firmware?

I don't really understand your question, Pierre.

My question is : does the firmware you are elaborating can totally replace the original firmware loaded in uBitx as they are sold by HFSignals?

Yes, the firmware replaces the one shipped (and indeed, my fork is
derived from original firmware Farhan's code). Basically a rip-off,
leaving just the revised CAT and si5351 functions.
