So, hoping to be on the same platform as the other folks working on the lights to make sure troubleshooting would be seemless I updated my board to the Duemilanove and my software to v 16. I did this through my favorite US Vendor: SparkFun One of the nice things about buying an Arduino board from Arduino is that they have joined Zero Impact . Zero Impact is a carbon offset company. Even though CO2 emissions are really not the biggest environmental problem with electronics, it is a nice touch. Arduino seems to have picked building forests in Costa Rica, so, since I've been there, I get to think of my trip every time I use the board. To make the software transition: * I close the old version (Arduino 12),
* Open the new (Arduio 16)
* Switch the type of board I was using (there are A LOT of new ones)
* and then QUIT ARDUINO 16 AND REOPEN IT. I do this because then
Arduino writes a preferences file when it quits. I've found that
having the new version writes its own is just a nice just-in-case
that smooths over some troubles occasionally. And the good news... When I attached the wires to the new board and uploaded the code it just worked! Yay!
