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.
1.About V1.200
Supports uBITX v5. The source code is the same for both V2, V3, V4, and V5.
You only need to enter the uBITX version in the ubitx.h file and it will be compiled for your version of uBITX.
#define UBITX_BOARD_VERSION 2 or 5
2 include v2, v3, v4
For versions 2, 3, and 4
For versions 2, 3, and 4
Use of other source code is the same as before.

3.Test for Version 1.20 with uBITX V5
The receiving performance of uBITX is specified as 2uV, but the minimum output of my instrument is 7uV. I have confirmed that it is clearly received when tested at 7uV.
Below you can see the test video using uBITX V5.
-90dBm (7uV)
It is normal to receive a 1 kHz sound at 14.049 MHz with LSB
It is normal to receive a 1 kHz sound at 14.049 MHz with USB

Thank you for using the CEC firmware.

Great.....btw is there any update for wsjtx portable?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in updating wsjtx portable.
DeleteI have not even started analyzing the Wsjt-x 2.0 source code yet. lol
Please wait a little longer. I will post related articles when the work starts.
Ian KD8CEC
Thx, Dr Ian. glad to hear it
DeleteI have installed V1.200, but the display still shows V2.110.
ReplyDeletePhilip G7JUR
I haven't seen you for a while.
DeleteThanks for important information.
After a long time, I forgot to enter two versions of the firmware.
I modified it now and uploaded it again.
Ian KD8CEC
Thanks Ian.
DeleteNow showing the correct version number.
Regards Philip G7JUR.
PS Any chance of a WSJTX portable update
Philip
DeleteOf course. Maybe a month later I will be quite busy because of my main job (start new project)
My plan is to modify Wsjtx Portable before that.

ReplyDeleteJust updated my first version ubitx and everything went ok. Added a 3.5 nextion display as well.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: I am not seeing any bargraph S/PO meter movement on receive. Just shows a red bar graph about half way to the S5 mark. No movement.
Ian I installed v5 1.2 sw and I use a 2.8" nextion display, I have the same problen on the bar graph but more important to listen well the voice the IF shift must have on 1420 value.
ReplyDeleteWhat I did wrongly? Regards Roberto IK4JSF
Happy, Ian, to use V1.22 . After installing the 1.22 on my ubitx v5 , I am unable to factory reset. I wonder whether any update is available ?

Hi Ian...
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your work.
One small comment, and one question, if I may...
1. In the text, the heading for each of the bits of source, highlighting the version is "For versions 2, 3, and 4". I suspect the second image should have "For versions 5" as a heading.
2. I am using v1.2 f/w on my uBitx v3. I am also using Nik VK4PP's i2c Raduino Board. All seems to work well, but when I try to calibrate, there is a strong birdie right at 10MHz. WWV is pretty weak where I am (Ireland). Any suggestions?

Very Nice FW Ian. This reminds me of a few development boards SW & FW we used for product development at work.
ReplyDeleteI am new to the ubitx (V5 is my first), but have flashed the new FW and found on 80 meters it always goes back to 3.5 MHz with a band change, even with 3.86 MHz in the ubitx manager "saved band frequency" for Band 2. The other saved band frequencies seem to work fine.

So I was able to get band 2 default to change to 3.8 MHz by writing multiple times with the ubitx Manager. it returns 3.8 MHz when I change back to that band even if I had been at 3.7 MHz but at least I can control it away from 3.5 MHz default. perhaps my hadware or memory write timing issue?
