ubitx-VE1BWV/VU2SPF TIPS


Bo Barry
 

I've added some pics in the Pictures section of my project in hopes of helping.
1. I used one of the white protoboards and jumpers so I could easily switch from the original display to the nice TFT display
2. To switch I remove the raduino board, add 6 jumpers from the mega 2560 and 3 from the adafruit si5351 board to the proto board.? Note the scotch tape holding the jumpers in position.??
3. A collection of the male-male and male-female jumpers is a must
4. The wires are full length until my plastic cabinet gets here
5. The 3d printed panels found on Amazon are handy for mounting all the external parts.

Finding a few goofs was easy this way!
I failed to sign up for the hints/tips here so I'm behind on the essential mods I need to do.
I have a poppling sound in receive, along with some hum. A new supply and a buck circuit to get the mega2560 voltage down a bit from 13 volts come next.

Hats off to Joe & SP for their efforts and their persona help.

Good to see? progress.?

Don't forget to add some hash filters at the output of your regulators - they make a huge reduction in noise.
I run mine? Atmega around 9v - ...I will take full 13.00v - but i runs very well and much cooler at 9.00v

As for mods, my number one was to eliminate the Pop / crackle on? TX? and also when it changes back to RX.

Nice and quiet with that mod.

Full user manual almost finished?

Could you tel me where you got the TFT display? or the spec's.
Thanks!

I have many types etc, but the 2.8 Elegoo for arduino has been consistently the best.?
?Very clear crisp display, and sensitive touch control.
I purchased? ?4 or 5 OF them from Amazon.com or ca and they have performed perfectly each time.

The? youtube link to my latest video which shows my ubitx rig and all about the tft touch display and source etc




Also other sources for info
