Control board

Pretty good couple of days in the shack.  Got a good handle on the xtal filter board and finished off the DDS control board today.  Installed the 9v regulator, 2 electrolytics and a lot of 104 bypass caps. Put in the 12v connector and have to remember that I reversed the polarity on the bus on that side of the board. Put a dab of you know whose red nail polish on the new + bus.  Well, at least as far as hardware is concerned I should be finished.  I still have an issue with the read-out and hoping its a contrast setting in the software.  The lights blink on the Nano and there is output on the Si5351 board, so that's good news.

Now just to relearn the Arduino stuff and onward and upward.
