Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Well I was a little bit too busy to work on the QMX these days, so I decided to indulge myself with a new rig. My KX1 would like to welcome X6100 in the family ! 130

Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 19/01/2025While waiting for the news psu boards to arrive, I'm working on my #CW with Vband and a BH8DZE usb interface for the paddle. I had to remap the buttons 2 and 3 for it to work. On Arch linux it's done with : xinput set-button-map 13 1 3 2 4 5 6 7 Where 13 is the Vband interface number. 020

Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 17/01/2025As suspected, not only D108 but D106 died too. I ordered two sets of boards, but now I have to figure out WHY these two died. #QMX 000
Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Hmmm... I feel like a love/hate relationship building up with the QMX. Just after flashing it for the first time and exploring the menus, I accidentally pulled the power plug and the qmx crashed. I can acces the terminal to get a diagnostic screen but that's all. apparently I killed the 5V board. 110
Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 15/01/2025I recently had to unsolder some pcb connectors and melted some old hard rosin on unsoldering braid. Damn, it works better than my copper braid, it literally sucks the solder in the braid. 010

Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Not easy to fit the toroids and evenly spread the wire on the QMX, it's tight ! 120
Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 08/01/2025The unsigned.io firmware has a limitation on TX power at 17dBm even on hardware able to tx more, looking at the source it's in sx127x.cpp line 342? Now the issue is , 've found how to recompile it with arduino-cli but can't upload it, it needs a stk500 programmer. 021
Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Allez c'est parti pour l'assemblage du QMX ! 010
Tom aka F8COD @tomtheguyonwheels.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Let's do some old tech packet radio with new tech lora t-beam. Unsigned.io rnode firmware on a ttgo lora32in tnc mode with linbpq bbs software on the node, T-beam as a kiss AX25 tnc on the client laptop. It's gonna be fun. #lora #hamradio #bpq32 242
