I really love my V6 but I feel the firmware was never finished, the calibration function leaves a lot to be desired.

hey snapwhole i'm wondering if i could buy ramps 1.5 instade of 1.4 and it is possible to run the system with the old marlin firmware ?

absolutely - 1.4/1.5/1.6 ramps are all fuctionally the same, the firmware does not know the difference - thanks for subscribing!

I just finished my kit and my speaker wont stop buzzing. I turned the pot all the way up and down and the speaker just wont stop buzzing. Did I burn up a diode soldering it in or had a bad part? I was carful populating the board so I am kinda surprised I had an issue. I was thinking of adding a 100R to the pot and see if that helps. Any suggestions?

I have same look of this soldering iron and it says 200ͦ⁰C to 450⁰C BUT I measured on the tip and when you set 200⁰C it heats up to 345⁰C and it goes to about 460⁰C. The tips I get with he iron, one tip I used soldering on probably 20 wire joints and the tip responsible to soldering dissapeard 😂🤣. This soldering iron is temperature inacurate, because it does not have thermometer sensor in the heating element area. I maybe will buy those black tips, maybe they are bether, will see.

@SnapwholeEclectic 2 жыл бұрын
I adjust the thermostat based on how the tip melts solder and ignore the rating, the tips are weller 900m type tips, you can buy them anywhere that sells tips, using the tip to hot will ruin the tips quickly (burns of the coating, which is why i set by how it melts solder - you can us tip restorer to make the tips last longer kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoHJYYd4ptRqmKs - thanks for subscribing

NICE FIRST EVER COMMENT TO SOMEONES POST HAHA WHOOHOO >> I have just got this same kit as i wanted to know roughly how a MD circuit works so bought the mds-60 as a reference to work from for making my own DIY metal detector. I'm looking all over the net to see if anyone has took this kit and copied it up on a bigger scale but without the coil initially attached i don't suppose you have tried this yourself have you?

Love mine you just have to learn how the radio works. I've been a qrper for many years and this is by far one of the best, good power and of course the higher bands have a little less power..The little guy is meant to experiment with and the first major mod will be some tighter filtering on cw.

This seems to be a very common problem, but there're not many videos addressing it. This was kinda helpful, and I say that because your camera is so far away I can hardly see. Also, your board was at such an angle the dc power jack was covering the regulator. Cool vise btw.

Have you installed these? Did they induce noise on RX for your uBitX?
@SnapwholeEclectic
@SnapwholeEclectic 3 жыл бұрын
these do not induce noise, if you are experiencing noise, its probably the power source feeding this device, try a different power source, if its a wall wart, they are notorious for being less than well regulated, this device will clean that up on the voltage it outputs, but the power source could still be causing general noise that could get into your receive - Thanks for subscribing!

It's always a joy when the thing first picks up signals, isn't it. I've built a bunch of kits and from scratch radios and it never gets old. One thing that would be great is knowing what version of Raduino firmware to use these days and how to calibrate and align the v5 uBITX.?! I have one that I set aside with that as the only hurdle that I wasn't able to get over. The various versions of firmware, when v5 came out, were "broken" with regard to BFO alignment and such. I know others who "failed" just as I did (we have a support group started! ;-) .

I have two of those. They came from my dad who worked for the phone company in Central Office Repair. Those switch centers had aisle after aisle of electronic equipment and each aisle had a couple of ladders that were attached to a trolley on the ceiling. So you could just roll the ladder up and down the aisle to where you wanted to work. The center support on the cage is spring loaded. You can pull it back, set it on the ladder step and release it and it would hold itself tight to the ladder. I'm sure the irons I have are probably 60 years old if not older. Typically the metal tray for the handle is would be covered with excess solder and if you needed some solder in a hurry you could just dip the iron into the solder.
