Remove the // in the top entry that start with //xstr I think the second like was already commented out.

The raduino turns on when powered directly. My version is 5.1. I found this interesting as all the troubleshooting guides I've found were for versions 3 and 4. Is v5.1 very new? Could I be

Joe, Ok, definitely need to invest in that tutorial... One last question, that vis tDecode1,0 was irrelevant? 73 Mark

Yes I would set that back to what it was. It would be great if Ian CEC would come to our rescue on some of these tasks but he’s busy with more toys for us to play with. Joe

That's good news about the raduino. Is it possible to get a pic or two of the build so we can get a better idea of the wiring?

Doug and Nigel, yes so I'm trying to copy at least Nigel, and many others (which is good news). As suggested, Win10 reassigned the cat com port from COM7 to COM13 when I put the cat usb cable into the

Joe, Reset everything from the original, made the one change you suggested and it "worked". Looks like some background color issues and positioning is not right (and perhaps the font is too small).

I didn’t feel like I needed it and yes between stretching the background out which appears to be lines or columns, the frequency text didn’t look too appealing. I suppose you can make the font

Hi all, First post here. I am reviewing the instructions for the BitX40 and am unclear about one thing. How is the PA Power connection wired up? From the diagram it appears like it is a separate

okay, so after a day (almost) of back and fourth, it was clear to me that only COM7 was loved by the uBITX cat control. I finally threw in the towel (I didn't even know I had a towel!) and deep in

Don, I 'cut the red wire' because I had already removed the Raduino 5v regulator and modified my v3 boards audio to have a 5v supply (and the Raduino, USB hub etc) separately supplied from a small

So now I'm stuck on getting uBITX cat control working on the AtomicPi in Lubunto. The audio works great, I get decodes!! So good there. I have tried every option on the Device dropdown list. No love.

Hi guys! Yeah we are pretty confident we have a fix for the v4 issue. As for driving sunil's s-meter display we currently need to get one to see how to properly wire it up. It should work acceptable

Joe, If you change the line: from xstr 5,350,90,18,0,WHITE,10565,0,1,1,sTemp0.txt to: xstr 20,365,90,22,2,sys1,7,0,1,1,sTemp0.txt You get rid of the gray background and the text field is positioned

Ah...good info. Thanks! I also added a BEC for some the 5v needs (plus a usb charge port), and a big dc-Dc buck converter for the 12v board. Now I can power it up with anything (almost) and the

More progress... Cracked the code on the X axis for the Spectrum. Y axis is next....

Ok I found the problem, well I am 99% sure I found the problem I just need to test it. For some or the other reason the arduino nano died, but its pins are "upside down" the protrude from the top of

I believe you are correct,the Bank is indeed fitted upside down and it's vital to purchase the bank without the pins soldered and so you can orientate it correctly.It required the pins to be soldered

I have used the AD8703 to roughly estimate the output levels of oscillators (I have no oscilloscope), like dds and si570. If genuine it should be linear up above 0dbm, depending on the frequency. In

Yip tested and it works, need to de solder and redo the pins but as a proof of concept it seems to be working. Now to get it into my Bitx and generate some RF.
