However, there is a solution for the current versions of the board (currently v1.2). You can simply shift the board one pin over and solder a jumper from the vcc line to the pps through-hole (not used otherwise).

### 31-MAY-2025: Major updates!
135+

I have made some major updates to the board (RF filtering for the PTT), to the enclosure, and to the firmware (many improvements to the display including a dedicated "New Message" display). Additionally, I have created a companion GUI app that you can use to connect HamMessenger to your PC.

I have ordered parts to begin building 3 new HamMessengers and will begin building them next week. The purpose is to create some instructional videos and documentation to help support anyone that wants to build one themselves. I also plan to donate these builds to my local Ham club.

There is now a new [Build Instructions](/Documentation/Build%20Instructions/) folder that I will use to put the tutorial references and documentation.

### 08-SEP-2021: Troubleshooting freezing
135143

There is an issue where during transmit the unit will freeze or restart. I did some experimenting and found out that its the cable that connects to the radio. It is not shielded at all. I thought the small ferrites would be enough to combat this but obviously not. I did some experimenting and found that if I use larger ferrites and wrap them once that the issue goes away. [Here](/Media/Install/large-ferrites.jpeg/) is a picture of the installation. I will now look at sourcing a shielded cable for this application.

Ok, great news. Revision v1.1 of the HamMessenger board came in from PCBWay and they are great. I built 2 units and was able to encode and decode messages well. I will add some more information later but [here](/Media/Board-v1.1/) is a few pictures for now.
