A few months too busy

I started the project urgently in the second half of 2018, With God's care, the project was well done and successfully demonstrated. Sorry for not responding to emails and messages in the meantime.

There is a demonstration for the public and reporters to show, but it's almost over.

The relay I ordered for the Spur-related upgrade of uBITX arrived a few months ago, but I was too busy to unpack it.

I have now unpacked the relay packaging while writing this article. I need to upgrade soon.

I also ordered extra uBITX and BITX40 for some tests and it arrived a few months ago. But I have not even opened them yet.

Now that the semester lecture is over, I have free time until March.

I have found interesting items that have occurred in the last few months and want to work on them.
Perhaps the first of these will be the Antenna Analyzer made by EU1KY.

uBITX with Nextion LCD (CEC Firmware) - Installation and Introduction uBITX CEC Firmware supports various LCD since Version 1.08 (16x02 Parallel, 20x04 Parallel, 16x02 I2C, 20x04 I2C, 16x02 Dual LCD with I2C).
Supports Nextion LCD (Graphic LCD) from Version 1.09, Version 1.09x is primarily aimed at Nextion LCD support. Also 1.09x will continue to be Beta version. If you want a stable version, please use 1.08 or 1.1 version to be released in the future.

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All version(include V2, V3, V4, V5)

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All Version (include v2, v3, v4, v5) I did the firmware work for v5 when uBITX V5 was released, but I release it now.
I received the feedback from a thankful beta tester and tested it myself by converting my uBITX v3 to v5 but I was not sure.

I ordered the uBITX V5 and delivered the correct uBITX V5, so I made a little more fine-tuning.
If you use V2, V3, V4, you do not need to update this firmware.

How to upgrade uBITX Firmware

uBITX is based on Arduino Nano. So uBITX's firmware upgrade method is the same as Arduino.
There are two ways to upgrade the firmware of uBITX.

The first is to compile the source from the Arduino IDE, and the second is to upload the compiled hex file using the Firmware Upgrade Tool.

I'll show you how to upload a compiled hex file as a second method.

1.Connect the uBITX's USB cable to the computer.

2.Run Device Manager on your computer.
The way to open the Device Manager for each OS Version differs slightly.
In most Windows, you can easily launch the Device Manager by running.

On your computer, press the Windows key + R.

Type devmgmt.msc and press OK Button.

On most operating systems, there will be a serial port named Ports with CH340. If so, the next step is skipped.

If the serial port is not installed as below, you need to install the driver.

Included in uBITX is the Adonano, which uses the CH340 USB To UART part.

Download the latest CH340 driver from the Internet.
