That worked! Email is a bit odd here. It comes in on the? mac in my office, and the windows machine is in the basement. They are not linked. So, got the file from the mac, put it on a flash drive, headed to the basement and did what you said. the file complied without issue, but I had to tell the IDE that I was using the MEGA. Apparently one can compile a sketch without having the hardware. So the question is, why wasn't the morsecode.h in the file that I downloaded from this site? Mike, WB8VGE

p.s. most of the development of this was done in the thread of post#30470, and seemed fixated on tying either pin 7 or pin 8 to 0V or +12. I put my rationale for taking pin 3 to 0V in there - why on earth are people persisting with anything else?

Re: Problems with Arduino Nano: has anyone the program for BiTX 40?
For what it's worth..I have down loaded my DDS pictures with the Nano removed.? I installed headers so I can Plug n' Play nano's as improvements come in.? Just remember the USB connection on the NANO points off the DDS as always (after you solder in the headers). Hope this helps along with the other BITX Group help/ suggestions. The extended LCD display is something I'm trying out. You should be able to zoom these pictures

Re: A little ardunio help
Obviously it's not there because you didn't down load it! ?I just sent you the missing file...are you reading the emails I sent? The last one has the missing file attached. Don't download it into your download folder, download it into the same directory as the *.INO file is in. Do NOT start over using a Mac. That's like saying if your finger hurts, hit yourself in the head with a hammer and you'll forget about the finger.
Do this:
Create a new root directory on drive C:
? ?C:\B40Software
Create a subdirectory named B40SoftwareRel0106:
???C:\B40Software\B40SoftwareRel0106
Copy BOTH source files into that directory:
???C:\B40Software\B40SoftwareRel0106\B40SoftwareRel0106,ino ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? MorseCode.h
Now open the IDE, go to the File option and click Open.
Navigate to the?C:\B40Software\B40SoftwareRel0106 directory and double-click on B40SoftwareRel0106,ino. The compiler will automatically load BOTH files, placing MorseCode.h on its own tab in the source code window. Now compile it.

Re: A little ardunio help
I sent this out a few days ago, and multiple times before that:
========================================================== Message bodyI take it that your disk image looks like this:
C:\Users\Don\Documents\Arduino\Jacks_VFO_1_0_6\Jacks_VFO_1_0_6.ino
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??MorseCode.h
For some reason it is not finding the MorseCode.h file in the directory above. Usually, this kind of error is caused by: 1) The file truly is not there, or 2) It is spelled differently in the directory. That is Morsecode.h, morseCode.h, morsecode.h, or some derivative of a spelling error since C is case-sensitive. Also, sometimes if you copy a piece of code from a word processor (e.g., Word), it replaces the "vertical" double quote marks with special ASCII characters that are "leaning" double quotes. This seems unlike here, as I think the error message with "funny quotes" is wprded differently.
If things all look okay, try moving the two files to a totally new directory, like:
C:\Temp\Jacks_VFO_1_0_6
Copy the files to that directory and try again. The reason for doing this is...I don't have a reason, but sometimes magic happens. It's called Divine Debugging.
Jack, W8TEE =========================================================== As you can see, the MorseCode.h file should be in the sketch directory and I'll bet a dollar to a donut you didn't download it.

On a less sarcastic note, do you have the ability to print out a picture? If so, there's a perfectly clear one in post#31512 from my compatriot Ted. It's from Giancarlo, who used his 'nut' to design it. The only difference I made was to take the connection from pin 7 and put it to pin 3. This is the 'audio in' to U1 in Farhan's original circuit. Make connections there as close and direct as possible - some have experience instability otherwise. Fred's solution in post#31517 is far more elegant and a whole bunch easier - *if* you find or can procure an opto-coupler. I'm lucky - The PC PSU I scrapped that provided the bits for my implementation of Ted's circuit also provided one! :) I'm not at home 'til Monday, so will be trying that, though I'd venture pin 3 rather than pin 1 - pin 2 is adjacent and to earth. Looks like you can put as many optos as you like in series there to drive anything else you want to ... like maybe antenna switching if you've done multi-band mods? Good t'inkin' Fred!

Re: Problems with Arduino Nano: has anyone the program for BiTX 40?
There are two orange wires in the supplied wiring harnesses that connect to the Raduino.
One of the orange wires goes to pin 15 of the connector labeled "OSCILLATORS" in the schematic,
this wire should be connected to +12v as shown in the wireup diagram.
The other orange wire goes to pin 5 of the connector labeled "CONTROLS" in the schematic,
this wire goes directly into the A3 pin of the Mega328p on the Arduino Nano processor.
The schematic is here: ?http://www.hfsigs.com/bitx40v3_circuit.html
The wireup instructions are here: ?http://www.hfsigs.com/bitx40v3_wireup.html
Sometimes shorting a Mega328p pin to 12v (such as the A3 pin) only blows the IO cell for that pin,
but since nothing works at all anymore it seems you have blown the processor and it must be replaced.
You might try buying a new Arduino Nano processor board off the web (perhaps $4 USD),
but installing that on the Raduino board will require removing the 30 soldered pins of the blown Nano first.
You might buy a new Arduino Nano plus one of the Si5351 breakout boards and a 2x16 display, create your own Raduino.
Neither of these will be trivial to do if you are not experienced with this sort of thing.
Perhaps I am wrong and someone will have a suggestion for an easy fix.
But I think your easiest solution is to buy a new Raduino from HFSigs.

I need the program in Arduino Nano, so I can substitute it (Arduino with a new one), in this way my BITX 40 can works again because it works really well, is a greate trasceiver and its very useful for portable use.

Re: A little ardunio help
Well, I'll bet that's why the compiler can't find it. Did you download it when you downloaded Rel106? You can download it from the users group File thread, or just use the one I've attached here.

Re: A little ardunio help
You can always give full path to the files in the #include line.
This makes the code custom and a bit less portable but experienced coders can
probably handle that.?

So, I'm playing the ardunio IDE.
downloaded the file BDOSoftwareRe10106.
Have the right files in the libraries.
Although I don't have the correct Ardunio connect, I feel it should at leas compile.
It won't

Re: A little ardunio help
I am on the road so I can't verify this but I think you actually must have the compiler connected to some version of the arduino for the code to compile. I think I ran into the same issue; but, there may be a workaround.
