Should I buy new programmer or can I solding electric schematic of programmer? I need programming Arduino Nano for new library of Martin made for max7219 dot matrix 8 x 8 pixels. How I understand PIC controllers do not support this amateur display.

The Nano doesn't need a programmer - it is programmed via the USB port. You can also use a USBTiny or USBAsp programmer or another Arduino though this isn't a requirement with FC.

PIC 'should' work with the component - though I've never tried it (I didn't have a PIC programmer when I wrote it) - it needs an SPI port to write the data to the displays. What problems have you encountered?

One advantage of the Arduino is you can use the 5V pin to power several displays

How to convert *.hex to *.ino ? Arduino IDE can not write *.hex file to MCU.

You can program direct from FC?

Hi.
As Martin said, you don't need a programmer.
The USB lead is connected from Nano to your PC.
Make sure the Nano and the port are both selected within Project options:

I have just programmed my Nano:

If the Port is not listed, then check you have the correct drivers installed for CH340.
You may need to reload Flowchart after installing drivers.
