Meanwhile I have a lot of learning to do first anyway! I just got a bunch of new stuff from DigiKey, but am too afraid to plug any of it in because I do not want to fry it!! Anyhow, I am not totally afraid of your little driver here, + i have a good friend that does EE so I would not be relying on your much at all for support. I am only waiting for the Rainbow at the moment to see if it may be more user friendly, but it does not look like that will be the case at all!

BTW, my comment about "maybe not user friendly" seems a bit exaggerated in retrospective :-) I've been helping someone in Arduino matters for the past weeks and that quite stressed me out. I was just afraid I'd have to do remote support for this one 24/7. It really isn't any worse than other Arduino clones without auto reset that need a USB/TTL serial cable. And it helps to accept that writing code is the job of the owner. I hope you won't have to wait too long for the Rainbowduino. And you will.

Good example. Hopefully I will make use of it sooner or later. Having only got my Duino last week, all I have done sofar is the 'toggle LED with a button' tutorial. I am waiting on some more hardware (like my breadboard) so I can have some more fun. Nice post Robert. Good example.
