Re: calibration of keys on diaplay
Let me try to come up with a solution. I'm a little fried right now. Jack, W8TEE

it seems that anything i do to calibrate the screen nothing happens. from the manual pt 1. 1. the unit has been on and off many times so the first time cal does not work 2.? the keys do nothing when touched so that method does not work 3. the //InitDisplayCalibration ();? line was already uncommented so that does not work.
what am i doing wrong and how can i get the calibration screen to come up so as to finish the setup of the software? dave k7da

Re: what would cause the secondary encoder to stop working
Are you saying it doesn't work at all, or just in the setup section? We've had two bad encoders lately and Al just found one that gives pulses that are too short. Can you put the encoder on a scope? Jack, W8TEE

ugg...from one issue to another.. nothing has changed except the cal values. the secondary encoder will not change selections (ie in operational setup can't change the selection from MODE down to EXIT. the push switch does work however.. now that i think i have the cal thing worked out (my issue) now i cant select the choice.

Re: Initial Tests
Looks nice! Yes the 3.3V gets very toasty. I bought a bunch of these from Arrow: made by Fischer Elektronik SK104-25.4-STS They're less that $2 each. Arrow only has 1 left when I checked. Jack, W8TEE

Re: display
Have you read the manual? Looking at the screen, perhaps Setup might be promising. Read the manual...it took weeks to write it, so you may want to read it. Jack, W8TEE

Re: display
It will work there, but the next time we need to do something to it, I'm going to ask you to look for it near the top of setup(), as that's were it belongs. The purpose of the setup() function is to "define" the environment in which the application is to run. The setRotation() function does set part of the environment, so you should remove it from splash() and put it into setup(), near the top. Jack, W8TEE
