I am at a point where I have 3-4 projects operational and ready to be boxed. Looking around the web I find there are virtually no folded aluminium boxes on the market - what happened to them? Maplin have a few old stock remaining, but no one else makes any!
But I did find some nice, small "instrument cases" on Amazon and bought 4 of them. What I found was that the 16x2 LCD displays that I have been using are too large... and I have chosen to switch to 1.3" OLED displays. Lot's of new learning about U8g2lib.h library and re-writing of code... but I have my wide band SDR, my wide range VFO and my RF power meter ready to go.
I now have to cut the rectanglar holes for the Arduino UNO USB connector and te 1.3" OLED displays. Fortunately my son is production director at a small engineering company and can do this using his CNC milling machines. So there is hope.

Code
As well as converting code to use OLED displays I have also upgraded from the U8glib to the new, future supported, u8g2 library. New code will be published on this blog showing the use of this new display library. And a post will be made where you can download both my new (and old) ACTIVE sketches and the libraries that support them.
