No smoke !!
4.97V at 7805 - 11.9V at 7812 , nothing hot..🙂
Nano IC pwr led is lit and the "L" led blinks.
The external led seems to be in the "dim" state (stays there).

I'll email you a sketch to load on it. you'll need to download the software from the Arduino site. Very simple to load.
Oh , it's still in dumb mode , like me ....😀
At least I did not mess up the PS / construction part.
How do you connect to USB .... mini usb(phone dongle) ?

The Arduino is powered off usb for programming. You just need a Mini USB cord (Older Phone cord). You can plug the Arduino into a breadboard and hook LEDs to it if you want to play with it out of circuit.
Works in win 7 usb - detects it /powers it.

Dang 53mb download - that's huge ---an hour for me and "redneck internet".
"arduino IDE 1.0.6" they have a beta , too - but it is HUGE.
The dongle it takes down here in the states is your bog standard MP3
player usb adaptor , (or old phone plug).
I'm relieved I have working hardware , I just received 3- mp3 players and a tablet -
ALL the lithium batteries were toast - brand new stuff.
On top of getting a smashed trafo and caps from digikey -Bad luck me 🙁
I'm quite convinced the only way to get quality is to build it yourself.

53mb is a couple second download on a phone these days. Likely better moonshine around your area though.
Yes , in the rest of the industrial world 53mb is a few seconds.
Maybe you don't know that other than the midsize/major US cities , most american's
have at best 3-5 Mbit/sec download speeds - there are exceptions.
I pay 110$/mo for 2-3 mbit . My last verizon DSL was 5M for 80$.
Most of the US is a "3rd world domain" (compared to the rest of the 1st world).
Best I've had is 20M (cable -120$) in the city , and that slowed to a 8M "crawl" at peak times.

What driver ??
I know it is a Dui or nano , after installing the software - "device not successfully installed" after USB plug-in. Hardware wise - it is physically detected.
Tried manual install of either /both the com or usb driver - no luck. Even as the
installer says the drivers are installed - it should work.

Wow... I've got 100Mbit dedicated line for $15 per month. Alternatively, I can use LTE connection (50-70 Mbit) via mobile phone or tablet... Unlimited traffic... Am I in the Internet Paradise? 😛
I had this kind of problem last time I installed Arduino software on my home PC (Win8.1)...
Here is what has helped - download the latest FTDI chip driver >HERE<
Install the downloaded driver. Then go to Device Manager, right click on Arduino, click update the driver and then say you want to select it from the list. In the list there will be a section called "FTDI" - just select the latest version from there.
After that additional com-port appeared and I was able to communicate with Arduino...
PS: on my laptop it worked smoothly right away (same win version) - I think, related to usb hardware differences somehow...

No , this nation lets it corporations screw the public freely , while racking up
a hundred years of debt to go to war with the whole world (and also billing
the people for that) .
What is left is NO choices , overused 3'rd world infrastructure , an super high
bills. My phone will do 3M up to 3gigs data limit - then 100K after that !!
what a joke.
To get 1st world speed (even in "modern" NY state) a business ISP contract will get you a whole 50M for 150-200$/mo.

I have W7 (64 bit) , so it is the FTDI manager that does the communicating.
Hope it works ...
Yep , com 3 is active in the arduino editor (below). I can now
download a sketch to the processor ?
Thank you , Val !!

It is! 😀
I have placed some parameters at the top for easy fine-tuning up to particular needs / tastes...

?? top of what ? On your PDF , right..
I see you commented on each line- like the tube/valve option , for example.

I mean, top of the firmware sketch. Did you get it from Jeff? Current "production" version is 05-int
