i plugged the pins in tge wrond side. Now the sreen is like this? i guess i ruined the arduino nano board a d maybe something else  I see that arduino power led is fine how can i check that it is still alive? Mabe i just broke something in the board atached to it
|
Anything i can check here??
Wherevis original factory sketch to see if i can upload it so i inow was aduino is fine..
|
Sorry i forgot the foto 
|
try adjusting the contrast button until you see a visible dsplay.?

I tried several possitiona. Lcd light dims but no characters are shown
thanks

It look like my nano is dead. i swapee lcd and it seems ok on that  I have ordered another one. I see several ino files. Each one seems to do Something specific? do the have to all have to be flashed ? Is there a special order? I will have a blank nano tomorrow...  thank you!

Good gosh. You’re not having any luck over there are you. ?Slow it down and take your time. Mistakes happen when you rush

Someone else here might of did the same thing and bricked the raduino the same way. You may have toasted it.?

If you are comfortable with using the Arduino IDE, why not load the ASCII table program (i.e., Examples\04. Coomunication\AsciiTable) and see if it runs. You can view the Serial monitor by clicking on the magnifying glass icon that appears near the top-right of the IDE screen. Make sure the number (e.g., the 9600 in Serial.begin(9600)) matches the baud rate set near the bottom of the Serial monitor. If you see the table, the Nano is probably ok.

You may have blown your Arduino NANO, or maybe not.? In the later picture the red POWER
indicator LED is ON, indicating that your NANO is receiving power, but that does not really
tell you the state of the on-board voltage regulator or the micro-processor itself.?
You can test your NANO and the associated LED but the process may not be easy unless
you are already familiar with writing software to the NANO.? If you are familiar with writing
software to the NANO you can overwrite the existing BITX software with something like the
"BLINK" program that is in Examples in the Arduino IDE.? If this is successful (if the LED
actually blinks) it would indicate that at least part of the NANO micro-controller is working.
Problem with doing this is that you have to overwrite your original BITX operating system
with BLINK code, and then re-write the BITX software back into the NANO after doing the
BLINK test.?
There is nothing particularly unique about the Arduino NANO that is used in the BITX or
uBITX transceivers.? Any Arduino NANO that has the standard NANO pinout should work
after you have programmed it with the appropriate BITX software.? At present I see NANO
boards going for about US$3.25 each on Ebay.? New NANO boards from most vendors

Yes, nanos are cheap. I will have one tomorrow?
regatding the ino files... di they have to be uploaded in sequence?
tthanks!

No. Put all of the files associated with the project in a single directory. The Arduino IDE will load them automatically and present each of them to you as a Tab above the IDE source code window. They will be in alphabetic order on the Tabs.

"They will be in alphabetic order on the Tabs."
I'm pretty sure that's true, except the file with setup() and loop() is in the first window.

I could not get the blink sketch tonbe uploaded. I also tried the raduino sketch to see that tab thing you mentioned. At first I did not understand that selecting one ino file would just put them all on the arduino software As you see an error popped up here too

Use XLoader and a ready compiled hex file.
Look here...(original v2 code is pre-compiled and ready to load)

I had the same error messages. Found out the mini USB port was broken. The plug was prohibited to be inserted properly by one of the small metal clips on top of the socket. This was bent down into the socket, stopping the plug from being fully inserted. These mini USB ports are very finicky and when you spray them with electronic contact cleaner, the solder pads underneath them let go from the Raduino board....
Can we please have a tab to a shopping cart on the website to reorder components and modules for these excellent kit radios ?

I wish i had the possibility to buy spare things such as the raduino base board. Unsolder and rake apart the nano is a pain in the neck

?Bernie....I think they are so overwhelmed now that it will be months before they get back to offering anything other than just the basic transceiver.? ?Partly for that reason I ended up making a board to basically DO what the raduino does....? if others
need it we can make it available.??
