#KC4UPR'S NOTE

This is a fork of the KD8CEC firmware that will be specific to my uBITX V5 installation. My intent is to remove unnecessary code, as well as make some GPIO changes based on my use of the Nextion LCD. Specifically, I'd like to eliminate the use of analog I/O for reading the CW keys, and possibly enable control of accessories such as filters using the extra GPIO pins that are now available.

#NOTICE

• Now Release Version 1.20 on my blog (http://www.hamskey.com)
• You can download and compiled hex file and uBITX Manager application on release section (https://github.com/phdlee/ubitx/releases)
• For more information, see my blog (http://www.hamskey.com)

• Change CW Frequency Display type

1.02

• Applied CW Start Delay to New CW Key logic (This is my mistake when applying the new CW Key Logic.Since uBITX operations are not significantly affected, this does not create a separate Release, It will be reflected in the next release.) - complete
• Modified CW Key Logic for Auto Key, (available AutoKey function by any cw keytype) - complete
• reduce cpu use usage (working)
• reduce (working)

1.01

• Fixed Cat problem with (IAMBIC A or B Selected) 1.0
• rename 0.30 to 1.0

0.35

• vfo to channel bug fixed (not saved mode -> fixed, channel has frequency and mode)
• add Channel tag (ch.1 ~ 10) by uBITX Manager
• add VFO to Channel, Channel To VFO

0.34
