Successful JackAl Builds

 

So I have a general question for the group. I¡¯ve seen a lot of questions in the group working through this gotcha or that one. I would like to start a thread where people who have successfully implemented their JackAl build can share that success and perhaps provide a light at the end of the tunnel.?

Thanks

All:

Al and I realize that we're "too close" to the build and what seems obvious to us isn't to others. As a result, we will be updating the documentation, much like we did for the "wiring harness" documentation we recently posted. Right now, our web site has been hacked and our ISP seems awfully slow in fixing it. Stay away from the site until we tell you it's been fixed. This weekend is finishing my taxes, but we have set aside some time to improve the doc files.

We appreciate your patience and honestly feel you'll find it was worth the wait.

I haven't seen anyone posting complete success yet. ?I had to abandon mine as I only have Version 5 uBITX boards, having gotten rid of all the old V3 and V4 ones. They've been promising V5 software for a couple weeks now but so far nothing on the website (before it got hacked). ?

I had the board working, but not connected to a radio before I sold it. ?Just got tired of waiting for the promised firmware that would run on Version 5 uBITX boards.

I'll probably get flamed for posting this, but it is what it is and I won't build another one until everything becomes stable. ?I have too many other hobbies to pursue (new spectrum analyzer and got a nice 3D printer for my birthday).

Jim, W0EB

I appreciate what Jack and Al have done and all the time they put into this!? Some of us made a donation recently and I would donate again if that would help in possibly finding a new ISP.? Five or ten dollars for all the R&D that JackAl have done and provided for free is nothing.? I have learned much from these posts and this group really got me interested and going into the Arduino universe.? Keep up the great work and lets all learn together!?

Hi Tim:

Al and I really enjoy what we're doing and fixing the site is not a question of money...more like time. Al took it upon himself to fix it, when it should have been the ISP. Anyway, it is back up, although some of our database stuff seems hosed.

After I get my taxes done and stomp out a few other fires, Al and I are going to re-visit the DOCS and try to improve them like we did for the wiring harness doc file. Again, I know we're too close to the project to write good documentation for it, but it will get better...stick with us!
