Beta 1 release of V2.0 for OEM Raduinos

Update Nov 1, 2023: Added binaries for PICO using my boards. Upload them by holding down white button on back of Pico and plugging in USB cable. A "disk" should appear where you can copy one of the ".uf2" files below.

This is the beta 1 release of CEC V2.0. This release is targeted at supporting the OEM Raduinos running a Nano V3.0.

The software also supports Teensy 4.x, Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino BLE, Arduino IOT, Arduino Nano Every, and Arduino RP2040 Connect, they required enhanced boards.

Gerbers and associated KiCAD V7 designs for these boards are available at: https://github.com/AJ6CU/32bit-Raduino-Board_Designs

I am looking into the best way to make these boards available on a limited basis to provide testing by someone other than myself. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I am "good on QRZ.com".

The naming format for these files is:

Processor_CECV2_uBITXMotherboardRevision_displaytype_Smetertype

Nano3_CECV2_R34_Nextion_LocalS.hex: For a Nano3 with a uBITX Revision 3 and 4 motherboards, Nextion screen and a local S meter (no daughter card)

Nano3_CECV2_R34_LCD1602P_LocalS.hex: For a Nano3 with a uBITX Revision 3 and 4 motherboards, a 1602LCD with a parallel connection and a local S meter (no daughter card)

Nano3_CECV2_R56_Nextion_LocalS.hex: For a Nano3 with a uBITX Revision 5 and 6 motherboards, a Nextion screen and a local S meter (no daughter card)
Nano3_CECV2_R56_LCD1602P_LocalS.hex: For a Nano3 with a uBITX Revision 5 and 6 motherboards, a 1602LCD with a parallel connection and a local S meter (no daughter card)

At this time, I am only providing builds for Nextion and LCD1602 (parallel). All the builds assume a local S-Meter sensor (if any) rather than a separate daughter card with its own Nano. If you have a configuration other than this, please let me know and I will see if I can accommodate it.

Make sure you download the correct uBITX motherboard revision. If you install the other one, you will find your radio very quiet. That is a clear clue if you are unsure.

You should not notice any difference between V2 Beta and V1.2 Release. If you do, I would like to hear from you!

The big benefit of upgrading (besides helping me find any lingering bugs) is to be able to use the full functionality of the latest version of the Settings Editor (SE). In particular, if your radio needs to be calibrated, check out the Calibration Wizard in the Calibration tab. You can download the Settings Editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux at:

Give it a try too!
