v5 board original FW


 

Can someone send me a copy of the original radio FW for a V5 board or a location that I can find it. I read, I had ideas, I thought I knew what I was doing, it's gone and now I just want to get the radio working.
Thanks?
John


 

The only one that I know of is the GitHub repository where Ashhar keeps the source files:



All of the .ino files are required in the same directory to use the Arduino IDE to compile and then download the program.? I have not done this myself, so there may be some tricks that are required.

Note: the version 4 software will not work with the version 5 board.? HF Signals still needs some more updates to their web page, as the software link still points to the version 4 GitHub repository.? Would also be nice to have a .hex compiled version available for those who do not want to go through the difficulties of the IDE.

Hope this helps, though you may want to wait for others to chime in before moving forward.

Hello

I have attached the firmware that should have come with the v5 board.
Built from the guthub for you.
Its a .hex file

If you clone that github repo, you can built it yourself.
Move all the .ino files into a folder called ubitx_v5.1_code
Open the main file using the arduino ide in that folder called
ubitx_v5.1_code.ino
Then build it and program your Nano

Thank-you Laurence!

This was not for me, rather for mrjohnac that requested the "FW" for the version 5 uBitx.? I assumed that FW meant Firm Ware, and I added that it was not a straight download, rather an Arduino sketch file that would need to be compiled.

I will look into putting this into the files/wiki sections of the group.? There really is no easy way to find the information, unless you have run into it before (I had saved the link to the GitHub repository when it came out from Ashhar).? Doing a search on either the posts, files, or wiki I did not find the v5 firmware listed.? Same with using the link on HF Signals: sent to the version 4 software.

All this makes it difficult for the newcomer to the uBitx.? What is really needed is someone to take on the task of keeping the site up to date.? I am not sure if there is a single person who takes on this role.? I would think that at least for the basic stuff, like when new versions go into production, that the task would be done by someone affiliated with HF Signals (maybe someone who has it as a part time paid job?).

If I am incorrect in the above statements, then please shed light on where I am wrong, so that others can gain from the knowledge.

Again, thank-you Laurence for posting the .hex files!? It is volunteers like yourself and others that are at least keeping this afloat. Now we need to post the program and process to download it to the uBitx.

Thank you for posting the file Laurence. I will make sure that I do not let it get away from me again.
