That makes sense, hummm so what good is the ribbon cable for just like a hdmi input or something, I haven't seen anything hooked to a nextion ribbon ever.

Display is more sophisticated, offloads processing to the screens own subsystem vs having the arduino have to take on the workload, trying to keep up with more sophisticated screen renderings. Allows for ability to customize with Nextion tools the interface.

Re: An update to antuino
Ashhar Farhan
Well, it is an early release i usually take a few weks between me and raj to sort out thr bugs. Im this case, i was making incremental tweaks for sometime and then i realized that the software was stable enough for me to not bother with making more changes. At that point, i cleaned it up, added comments and pushed it on github. What being foolhardy means is that of it is not stable enough for your use, you may want to go back to the 2.1 version and you should be confident of loading that back again. 73, f

From the description supplied in support case the digital pins via the ribbon cable are not compatible with serial communication, as such are not wired to each other in anyway since the other side with 4 pins is a serial connection.

Why not just use your ohm meter and prob the connector while touching the pin on other side Id imagine you would get continuity on the corresponding pins??

Reply to Nextion ticket....
Sorry, Schematic is not available. RX/TX is not mapped to Nextion GPIO GPIO is for digital signal allowing - input binding to Nextion component on page. - input read or output write Consistent with HMI requirements such as buttons Not consistent with spi / i2c or the likes. see cfgpio in Nextion Instruction Set.

Mine got stuck too! Sent 23/3/20 from HF Sigs.. Arrived yesterday at my UK QTH 18/6/20.
Its Corona lockdowns fault sorry, I believe India was in total lockdown, but anything ordered from overseas at the moment patience is a virtue. It also crept in through UK customs without any charges, but this only seems to be achievable using India post, which UK Post Office delivers, use of DHL gets caught every time and 20% VAT gets added and a DHL charge. 73 Steve G1KQH

Re: "sketchy"

Here is a file on how to use the KD8CEC software with the v6 ubitx. You doneed to change out the screen, as the KD8CEC software does not work with the stock screen. If you want touch and graphics, then the 2.8" Nextion screen can be made to fit in the stock case with the other version 6 boards. Here is a pdf file that explains what was done:

Re: "sketchy"

Hi KF4ZGZ,
I have a very recent ubitx v6 running the stock 6.1 software with the 2.8" TFT. I tried to get the KD8CEC sketch to work, but after trying all the display settings available, I could only get a blank white screen after the update. Since none of the settings mention the TFT and the code never refers to anything beyond v5, I concluded that the KD8CEC wouldn't work on a new version. I found another port at https://github.com/reedbn/ubitxv6/. This one compiled just fine and plays with the 2.8 TFT. What .h file settings did you use to get the CEC working on your rig? Do you have the 2.8 TFT? I'm doing everything using the Arduino IDE 1.8.12 on linux. kind regards, -- Rick Walker WB6GVI

I suppose I can try and search and replace the usage of the touch and D_C in the HMI file to a Digital pin equivalent on the ribbon cable. Anyone who is more familiar with the HMI agree this is the likely required action and also if you know off hand the reference variables in the HMI.

Re: Opposite side band rejection ubitx V6
barry halterman
I did some experimenting with my V6 Crystal filter to see what I could do to improve the opposite side band rejection, if anything. I did the Crystal can grounding that Allison suggested. My biggest gain, for me, was to change the tuning capacitors from 68 pf to 150 pf as I had five in the same smd package and the same size as the originals. I mainly operate CW so loosing a little fidelity in ssb, if there is such a thing, was no concern. The original bandpass was 3.0 khz. With the new capacitors the bandpass went to 2.1 khz. More to my liking for CW. I readjusted the BFO and seem to have improved the sideband rejection. I think that with a more narrow filter the opposite sideband is not heard too far from zero beat and the signal attenuates faster as you move further away. My test station to listen to the opposite sideband was W1AW last evening on both 80 and 40. W1AW can be extremely strong but I did not get to make measurements. Hopefully I can do that this evening. So far, I like what I hear. K3bo

Thanks for posting the file. The other one was complaining of access control issues.
This diagram I was aware of, thanks for sending it though. Unfortunately this one focuses on the 4 wire connector and I'm looking on other side of the screen to the flat ribbon cable for this breakout board.so flat ribbon would be alternative to the 4 wire connector. I'm going to try and submit a support case with Nextion to see if I can get this mapping as well. We'll see if I can find anything with that channel

With the v6 I am looking to use the Ribbon cable from Nextion but I could not find documentation of blue and yellow cable equivalents on the breakout board. The ribbon cable uses IO_0 to IO_07 for the pins outside of 5v and GND which is clearly labeled. Anyone have a mapping equivalent for TX and RX should be connected too on this board? There is no mapping from the 4 pin connector to the ribbon cable equivalents that I can find, nor can I find the schematic of the display to try and figure it out.
Looks like the D8 and D9 on the Arduino is used for these two cable connections.

Re: neton screen to ver 6 board

From this set of files. The following file did work for the NextionNX3224K028_011 screen using the ubtix_28_E.tft. When opening the HMI file equivalent I get an error however with a parameter failure but the tft is working fine loading fine via SD card method.
Thanks for the help in getting to the working file.

Re: "sketchy"
Arv Evans
Earlier TTY-to-USB adapters used an older FTDI IC for the conversion. That design is still available but most newer units use the CH340 IC which is less expensive, Most UNIX based operating systems (Linux, OS-X, BSD, etc.) are already CH340 capable, but Windows usually needs a CH340 specific driver installed.

Re: An update to antuino
Hey, just for clarity, what sort of circumstance should I expect with this upgrade, that makes it suitable for the "foolhardy"? Certainly, the improvements listed would have a lot of appeal and I'm going to want to try this. Thanks.
