Dear Rob, THANK YOU!!!!??? I was hoping that software might be the problem.? Your instructions are clear except as where to down load the software I need to reload the Arduino...
Thank you Again!

Bob, It's here.? I'll find the libraries for you. I'll try and put up simple instructions of how to load the sketch. Rob

RON, Thank you again!?? I am off to work but I will pressure this later today...

Dear Rob, I followed directions as best as I understood them? and received several pages of of error messages.. see attached pdf..
Any suggestions..

Bob:
All the messages "Depercated..." mean that "We aint using that anymore in this compiler" Either get a? earlier library or IDE version which will support those functions, or ignore them. They are just warnings. Your code should work.
The repeated timeouts means that the uploader is not communicating with the device. This is an on-going and plague-like problem with avrdude. No one has any answers as to specifically why this is so. Check your device in the menu. Check your USB port in the menu. Check your cable (Is it too long?). What device are you using for uploading. Is it correct? Does it have the proper USB driver installed?? If you are using linux, do you as a user have the proper authority to use it? Does it allow for a proper reset signal (one of the most common faults).
If all else fails, use an older version of the IDE (say 1.6.4), an older version of the sketch and library (version 1). If you are following someone else's instructions, make SURE your configuration is the same as theirs. There is a lot of variance among versions. The trouble with the avrdude message is that it is so generic...it really tells us nothing.
Hope this helps.

Bob, What immediately springs up is lack of comms suggesting wrong comm port.? I don't know your OS but look for system, ports and see which the Arduino is plugged into.
The rest of the messages can be ignored as they are just info.
I made the video but suggested downloading the latest IDE. Thinking about this it wasn't a wise idea so I placed 1.6.8 in the folder to be used instead. This isn't your problem at the moment but comms is. Rob G4NQX

Dear Rob,
Thanks again!
Learning is an exciting experience..? I had used a USB cable with no "converter".? I read on the Arduino web page that I need a "USB-to-TTL serial convertor must be used to upload sketches"? I am assuming my connector cable is wrong.? It is
not clear whaich cable I need for the Nano.... ? Can I also? rewire a usb cable with a D-9 serial connector on it??

Bob,
You shouldn't need a converter unless something has changed.? Does yours look like this, the connector is the one shown between the two green pcbs :-

Hi Bob! A mini USB cable is what you need, Your Arduino Nano already has a bootloader flashed. You will need a USB to RS232 converter only if you want to flash a bootloader on a new Atmega processor, or if you want to upload a sketch without the bootloader. As Rob said check the COM port you are connecting to. To do that you can go to Device Manager in Windows and expand "Ports" You will see a Printer Port and one or more Communication Ports. Most of the time COM1 is used by the system and Arduino is installing another COM Port. Get that number and Start your Arduino IDE. Load the sketch and in Tools/Port select the Port your Arduino is connected. Also check your Board and make sure Arduino Nano is selected. In the IDE bar press the second button from the top left (with an arrow symbol pointing to the right). Wait for the sketch to compile and upload. Hopefully you will not get any more errors and your Raduino will start working. Good luck,

I finally got my computer to UPLOAD to my Arduino Nano!? However I still have compilation errors. See attached pdf ?
Any suggestions?? ?

No worries, Bob. It's just that the string manipulations aren't standard Arduino. I fixed mine but you need not be concerned as it will work just fine. -ND6T

Thanks for the reply.
I may have a defective board as it uploaded ok BUT no frequency read out...? Mabee? it is the oscillator portion that isnt working...

The Nano has a built-in USB to serial converter -- so it doesn't need anything physical but a simple USB cable to upload.
There are Arduino units. like the Mini, which do not have the built-in converter. In those cases one needs a separate board with the converter on it, which plugs in at the end of the USB cable and then into the Arduino. They come in various flavors with various chips like the CP2012, CH340G, and FTDI. The FTDI units are the most expensive, but once upon a time they ere the only ones available -- hence the development of the others. You would also use these units when breadboarding a bare Atmega328 chip with a bootloader already in it.
If you look on the bottom of your Nano, you will probably find a CH340G chip; that is what is doing the USB/serial conversion and that is why you need only a simple USB cable for it. Other units, like the authentic UNO usually have a separate ATmega8U or ATmega16U chip which handles the USB interface.
ICSP is another thing entirely. This is used when one wants to upload a program directly. It does not use the bootloader on the ATmega328; in fact, using it will wipe out the bootloader if there is one. That bootloader is what the Arduino IDE communicates with during the upload. OTOH, it is the only way to load a bootloader program into the chip if it comes without one. Usually one uses another Arduino as an interface board.
Some common lore about Arduinos. There are circuits and explanations of all this stuff everywhere on the web. You can specifics easily.
Hope this helps.

These are all warnings. They have little to do with the running of the program. If it works, OK. If not, you need another configuration as already mentioned.

Thank again for all the help!
I FINALLY got the complied RADUINO sketch to UPLOAD to my NANO..? When plugged into my radio it TUNES the receiver but there is still NO digital read out on the JHD162A green screen.
I downloaded a simple "HELLO WORLD" sketch from ARDUINO webpage and uploaded that sketch.? Still no reading on the green screen.
I am concluding that my screen is bad..? Is this a reasonable assumption?? ??
IS the JDH659a LCD Display module a direct replacement fit for the JDH162a LCD display?

Hi Bob,
the simple 'Hello World' sketch normally outputs to the serial port
and so wouldn't show anything onthe green screen unless the
appropriate libraries have been included and the program extended to
include the output to the green screen.
So although it doesn't help you find the problem, your display may
not be defective.
Good luck,
Ian

Does this work on your Nano:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12,?11,?5,?4,?3,?2);
void?setup()?{
??// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
? lcd.begin(16,?2);
??// Print a message to the LCD.
? lcd.print("hello, world!");
}
void?loop()?{
??// Turn off the display:
? lcd.noDisplay();
??delay(500);
??// Turn on the display:
? lcd.display();
??delay(500);
}
