[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Focused Workshop: Prototyping: "Breadboard A Sanguino" (22 FEB 08)

[dan p]

Just because someone my benifit from my mistakes.

found the problem. I had two wires swapped between the programmer and the
benito. I may have also had the cable on the dorkboard backwards. Between
the two power made it from the USB to the dorkboard through the benito so
the LED was blinking.

There was/is also an issue on my linux box, but between getting things going
on windows with a known good benito/dorkb I was able replace bits until
isolated to the cable.

now to fix the linux setup (don't like windows, but ...argh...
sometimes...useful... now I feel dirty)
