Hacking The uBitx V6 with Community Firmware & A Nextion Screen

[@arrow201]

Nice! Nextion displays are my fav. Pricey, but easy, fun to work with, and only need Rx/Tx signal lines. 👍🙂

[@learnelectronics]

Agreed!

Looks great. There should be enough output drive to run an amplifier. Looking forward to the next update. ☮️ brother.

Are you by any chance familiar with the Piicodev? Just learned of it in the past couple of days and don’t fully understand the idea behind it.

@learnelectronics Hi Paul, Ive been arguing with this for a week now, it will not boot into new firmware, ive tried updating tft firmaware which maybe the issue but that will not work either says file is not compatible. Did you have to upgrade scrren or did it work straight out of the box? Steve

we like all your videos so :)

Nice upgrade. Mine seems to have gone of frequency and despite several attempts to retune it I'm no further forward. I wonder if I dare attempt this upgrade!

[@learnelectronics]

Mine was off from the factory. I spent hours trying to align it with no luck. Sent it to a pro, he spent hours and got it close. The upgrade is easy, and makes it a whole new radio.

@@learnelectronics I have a feeling mine was off from the factory too. i followed their instructions to align it but to no avail. I've ordered the bits for the upgrade and hopefully that will sort it. I watched a few videos on how to do it but learned the most from yours. Thanks!
