Re: Compile error
Like I said, we're "too close" to it and forget things are not clear to everyone since they may not have 10 years of experience with the IDE. I'm trying to remember that, but clearly not doing a good job of it. Al and I are finishing up the new calibration routines and hope to have it done in less than 48 hours. Jack, W8TEE

Re: Compile error
Actually, you should be getting these from the code itself (JackAl.h) rather than the documentation. I'll change it in the instructions, too, but always check the source code first, as we expect that to be updated first. Actually, this mistake isn't totally ours, since PJRC changed their "standard" suite of libraries recently and we didn't know about it. Also, we are learning that we are "too close" to the project to write good documentation. The reason is because we "know" what to do next so what is obvious to us is less than obvious to the first-time user. As a result, we expect to be doing a lot of editing of the manuals as more and more people bring their JackAl's on line. Bear with us during this re-write phase... We also realize that the display calibration process sucks, so Al and I have been rewriting it and expect to release a new version within 48 hours. We will post a notice here when it is up on the web site. BTW, Al and I are going to the Orlando Hamcation, so if you see two old guys (one of whom is way over-weight) walking around, stop and say Hi. Jack, W8TEE

Re: uBitx Case
Fast hosts
I have a 7 inch screen but having spent ?50 plus almost the same sum in customs charge, I am loathe to spend too much more. I may just adopt Jack's baseboard and perspex design as it won't move from my desk Keith M6OLP On Wed, Jan 30, 2019 at 3:16 PM PeteWK8S via Groups.Io <pmeier=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: uBitx Case

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI¡¯m using this case - it has enough room inside for the uBitx on the bottom, JackAl on the side and a 5¡± screen and controls on the front.?250mm x 190mm x 110mmBeware the panels are thin steel and you need good drill bits such as Cobalt to handle it. ?

Re: uBitx/JackAl breadboard dimensions
I forgot to mention that the holes for the jacks supplied with the kits have such a short "neck" that you need a Forstner bit to drill out the mounting holes and then drill the holes for the jack. You can see this with the empty socket at the lower-left edge of the display. Jack, W8TEE

The board is 11" square with the front beveled at 45 degrees. The Lexan is 51/4" tall and 1/4" thick, so it does not have to "held" to use the push buttons. It does make it easy to work on it, but my "real" version will use the same case as the one you see on hamradiodesign.com. Jack, W8TEE

Hi Jack, On the SoftwareControlledHamRadio board, you showed a picture of your bench, and featured prominently was your uBitx/JackAl breadboard.? Initially, I would like to build mine the same way, so I wonder if you could share the dimensions of the piece of wood?? It looks like the lexan panel was mounted at an angle - nice touch!? Do you have something holding the display in place (other than the lexan) so it doesn't move when pressed? Thanks. -- Chuck WB6GPO |

Re: display
Consider where you mount your boards, too, as the cable runs might affect how you position it. Thi sis what we did: You can sorta see the SPI connections in the upper-right corner. Jack, W8TEE
