Message-ID: <608bfe540910111741n67954d0asa12487926c1862f3@mail.gmail.com>

I just installed the Sanguino software add-ons to
my arduino-0017 installation. Very quick install
and it WORKS! The couple steps I did are listed at
http://tinyurl.com/yjcvgj6

The Arduino and Sanguino crew have done quite
a nice job on these tools.

I just finished a prototype for a new board I am
working on -- NB2A which is '644+RTC+DAC+Altoids.
I used the Arduino+Sanguino setup and my RTC
and DAC libraries to write a couple '644 apps.
The DAC and RTC applications are listed in the
"Applications Hints" section at http://tinyurl.com/ykp9ocd
The sparsely doxygenated documentation is
under the "Libraries" section.

Nick,

Andre, 

We're still on, I'll send a reminder out to the announce list.  I
shoulda sent one yesterday.  Looking forward to it.  Thanks for the
offer Blake, Cafe Mundi has a screen that does VGA and NTSC RCA so we
should be good.   You should probably just need your laptop, Andre.

-Nick
