Re: QRP LABS enclosure for QCX
Nice work Greg. can you clarify one point. Did you make any circuit changes to incorporate the optical encoder? I was planning to use an optical encoder (5 v) driving the bases of two additional npn

Re: OCX Display
Hi Simon I think you should check the contrast setting. Maybe there is a short or other fault. As you adjust the contrast potentiometer, can you see the voltage at the LCD's contrast pin change,

Re: OCX Display
Thanks Marc, Im beginning to think it might be the IC2 at fault? With no chip installed I get just the top line of blocks. Two lines of blocks with the chip in.

Re: QRP LABS enclosure for QCX
Looks like a great solution Greg. Looks like Hans better stock up on the case as I for one will be copying this solution. Thanks for the post. 73 James 2E0MUA.
