It's alive again. Just unsoldered the old Nano (what a pain) and soldered the new one in place. Now it works again, and I can finish this nice rig.
I have a question, just to be sure not to burn it again.
What is the recommended ground point where the red wire from the Raduino should be shortened to switch to calibration mode. As I killed the Nano during calibration, I just want to be safe not to make the same mistake again.
Could be, I just shortened something, as I did not solder a button but only held the blank wire to ground, while turning the VFO. So could also be a handling mistake and not that I used a wrong ground point, but who knows?
