The Nano clone that comes mounted to the stock Raduino board
that comes with the uBitx and Bitx40 from hfsignals has a CH340 chip.
All the $3 Nano clones that folks buy to replace a fried Nano have the CH340 chip.
The original Nano board used an FTDI chip, not the CH340 chip,?
but nobody here coughs up the $20 for that board.
Your FTDI cable should have worked, if connected properly to D0 and D1 for the UART connection.
Must connect the cable's RXD to the Nano's TXD (D0), and the cable's TXD to the Nano's RXD (D1).?
Must also have a ground connection from the cable, and some way to power up the Nano (radio turned on is sufficient).
Under Windows, you need to install a CH340 driver to use the clone Nano's.
Under Linux, the needed CH340 driver is usually already there.
Under Mac OS-X, some drivers don't work, there are forum posts about this.
On a? Rasberry Pi, it can be done, my guess is the driver is already there for the typical Linux os install.
