It... Blinks!
While waiting for a calculation for the (now infamous) paper to finish, I finally got around to loading a program onto my Arduino board. I can now blink and LED on and off!
This is the wrong LED to use -- it seems to want more juice than the board can supply -- but it's all I had on hand at the moment. Anyway, I'd like to pimp Spark Fun Electronics. I grumbled at them for what I thought was a quality control issue, but it turned out to just be a strange solder joint required in the new board revision.
I plan to use this little guy to control the knobs and two-line serial vacuum florescent display for the radio head unit for my car. Yes, I know aftermarket head units exist; I just can't find one that runs on 6 Volts.
