You will enjoy the special presentation by William Franzin, VE4VR. William is a world class 'hacker' who loves experimenting with all things digital. He shows us great things to do with speech to task apps like Google Assistant and others linked to ham radio. But you're going to be amazed at what can be done with smart lightbulbs.

Hi Budd, trying to order an FE-Pi audio board off your website however seems like I cannot submit the form on your website, and I tried to email my order per at the top but your @arrl email address came in undeliverable, I would love to place an order can you please help? 73 W9JRD
I have one of the newer kits and the area for the capacitors is doubled almost like it was designed for two capacitors? I tried to find this at QRP labs website but I didn't see it. Could you provide some guidance?
I'm sorry, Don. If you notice the date on this video it is from 9 years ago. I am not up to date on their new versions. Good luck, though. 73 Budd WB7FHC
@@BuddChurchward thanks for the reply. I did some "testing" with a multimeter and I think Im going to be OK... it seems that they are still connected in parallel ?:
It's $49.00 as of April, 2024.
a little while ago, I encountered a station that sounded like "OWWW. OWW. OWWWWW. OWWW." Wish I'd have remembered to record the stream, or remember the frequency. All the best!
You can send an APRS message to "REPEAT" of "nearest 2" will give you the closest 2 repeaters on 2meters to your last beacon.
Press [save configs] on the DigiPi home page to save your fldigi settings (and all apps). 'necessary evil for a read-only appliance. Great meeting guys!
how do I get one ?
hi there ur works ooks very good, how might i go about getting a copy of ur code ?
What if you peel them off and want to attach them back, is there a way to do that?
The new RTL SDR V4 has a built-in up-converter that works great. Got mine last week and really enjoying it. Much better than the V3 I've had for years. Also, it has easily installed drivers for Linux, which is all I use.
Thanks Budd...the EOH error totally fixed the issue from the video
Good work, Thanx Budd I've built a half dozen or so of the DigiPi
Do you have a link or email address for Randy, N7EBB, where I can order a kit? Thanks. DE WA1KLI
Hey Budd, long time friend here. I'd like to reach out to you via DM, if that's okay. I haven't found a way. If you're okay with it, please let me know. I'd love to read the source code from games that you wrote during the 80's. :)
Nice to hear from you, Michael ... unfortunately I don't have any source code from that far back.
Simply awesome! Great work guys!
Good Morning Budd nice video !!! Please can you help me??why when i did the bluedv setting i can see the serial port is working but after save ----firmware not detected warning appear on the bluedv dashboard ?How to fix ? Thanks in advance W4EDY Iam using Thumsdv.
I have this having purchased a bundle with hamapps installed and the upgraded kit with the 4-port USB 2.0 hub and dual band WiFi 5 (802.11ac) plus Bluetooth 4.2 USB adapter and it was >$50USD plus shipping. I also have the stand and a usb fan for it. This is one cool rig. The new PS that is supplied with the Quadra is said to be of low noise characteristics.
I know this is about a year old. Inovato has this with a lot of the software all loaded on it! There was a video telling about this and they are having trouble keeping up with the orders. 73 W4DES
I just am learning about the cool program hamclock. Using the Quadra pc looks good but as of 11/26/2023, they are back-ordered till mid December and price has gone up 25% to $39.95. I want to set up the hamclock as a stand alone on a 1080p monitor for display at home and at my shop at work so I want to see if it will fit on a pi zero or something simular and cheap. de N7LT
If you use a USB 12volt regulated supply designed for rf invironment .
Hey Budd, I looked through your channel and couldn’t find it, what antenna are you using for SDR? Is the adapter you’re using just to convert your HAM antenna for use here or is it a separate antenna? Thank you and hilarious find!!!
This was so long ago that I don't remember. It probably was the slinky antenna that I demonstrated in another video.
Went though my box of stuff and found the adafruit headers. much higher quality. Would rather pay another couple of dollars for a kit than deal with the headers you included. The rest of the kit was very well done. great instructions, quality parts.
That is good to know, Michael, I will have to check them out. Thanks.
my kit did not come with an alignment bar and the pins are absolutely wonky. Almost willing to throw out the $100 rather than the frustration of 80 pins that are unaligned. Not worth raising my blood pressure over this.
Very good build tips, thank you !
lol
what is the purpose of making custom pcb? i do understand when you feel like you got a great product that many others can benefit with. but for one-shot projects it is a huge overkill unless you're suffering that illness when everything's got to be perfect. or you're benefiting from making others to do that stupid thing.
Lol you should play it back to him when he wakes up
Don't actually listen to me I don't know any laws with that thing. going to jail isn't much fun.
I hope you guys still post your digital content on UA-cam. Love watching it here in Illinois.
Again, a lot of good and informative content. Thanks for sharing and keep on doing. Wish you all the best. 75 & 55 de Stephan 9V1LH / DG1BGS from Singapore
Thanks, got me out of a jam for the NAQP RTTY contest log.
Thanks for the great story, my favorite experience listening to 40 meter usually involve a VOX that was left on. Turns out that on a world wide basis that happens a lot. My personal favorite was a husband and wife bickering over who's going to the store for beer.
sleeper cell lol
Epoxy the isn to it. spray paint it red.
Joe is the Man!
Too good, Budd!!
I have the same radio. I permanently glued the USB end to the adapter and used a label maker to print a yellow "12V" label and affixed it to the adapter.
Thats my ex.
Thanks for posting this. That was a good chat.
Yes Please, put up an iso to get AREDN working on the light bulb. N2KTO The bulb mesh is an answer for a Hospital Ham Network/RACES/ARES mesh. Please send me some more info for AREDN and the bulb mesh. Great presentation.
Hi David. It's just ESP Mesh being loaded into a bulb so not AREDN, but same concept on different hardware.
When can I buy it in Norway?
Funny video, thanks for the laugh!
That’s SW AMSR.
aint no snorring, that's 'the russian buzzer'
There are some strange countries in the world who shoot down balloons from the sky.
I prefer EasyEDA for PCB-Layouts, because it is really easy going to get professional looking PCBs. I also use it for my breadboard designs. For me it is better to start with the schematic and push the parts to their positions to get a good wireing. In case I just need one or two PCBs with just a few nets (and this is in most cases) I use dot grid protoboards and I do the wireing by use of tin coated copper wire. I don't like to wait weeks for my PCBs.
Thanks for the note, Gunter. This video is 8 years old. I now use EasyEDA as well. The learning curve is a little steeper, but it is worth it. They have made ordering PCBs so easy. I am not sure where you are located, but I find the turn around time very good. I have my boards shipped by DHL and they always arrive days before the promised date. Typically I have my boards in 7 or 8 days after I upload the files. The best ever turn around time was only 5 days.
I notice your time on your AREDN node is the same as mine, April 22, 2022? Any idea why? I can't see where to get the time updated. This is on my TPLink CPE210. My GL.iNet AR750, also AREDN, has the correct time.
I am not finding where you see that time. Can you give me a video timestamp so I can see what you are talking about?
@@BuddChurchward Sorry Budd, it's right at the very start of the video, someone has the AREDN status page up. I'm sure no-one else would notice, except I noticed on my two nodes and haven't been able to fix it.
@@BuddChurchward ua-cam.com/video/OXV-mLsJGtc/v-deo.html
@@jimshaggy Thanks Jim, that was helpful. First, that is not my station. That was another station that hams in Ferndale where showing us. There date is April 19 not 22. My guess is that you guys don't have the system dates correct on your raspberry pi. I checked my own station and the date and time are correct on it.
Nice talk, thanks. Greetings from Denmark. Just picking up SDR. New hobby I think :)
