hey
I'm wondering which MCU I should buy, and keep in mind I have the programmer with 2x5 female header, not 2x3. a bare bones board (http://www.circuitgizmos.com/products/cgbbb/cgbbb.shtml (http://www.circuitgizmos.com/products/cgbbb/cgbbb.shtml)), a arduino (a $20 one: http://store.fungizmos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=180 (http://store.fungizmos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=180) or the regular $30 one: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=666 (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=666)) or a roboduino (http://www.curiousinventor.com/kits/roboduino (http://www.curiousinventor.com/kits/roboduino)) or possibly some other MCU. also, do not suggest a $50 board, as I tried but I cant figure out why it wont work!

Want a couple of long headers?
-
I would ge tthe roboduiono... make sure you get it fully assembled were you couldnt complete the fifty dollar robot.... the arduino is just not worth the shields and the roboduino is exactly the same things exceot you dont have to make shields.... and im not sure about the barebones board... but i myself am going to get a roboduino soon

are you insulting my soldering skills? >:(
All the connections are perfect, the regulator works, it just wont work!

can you show me a picture of one?

So everything is perfect, but it doesn't work? ;) Did you try with another chip?
Chelmi.

Oh, man. I just looked in my bin of plenty and I no longer have the headers. I thought I had a ton... They were .400 on each side and good for solderless breadboards. Looks like I need to
get more.
If you order from me, dellagd, send me a PM with your last name and home town and I'll include some random electrical parts in your order.

ah, trying to add a sweetner, eh?

I thought it would be nice to offer something to you since you are a SoR member.

well... if its not working... somethings wrong... common sense there... there may be a part thats not good say the ic chip but other than that i dont know what it could be.... you could of shorted the chip... check how you soldered the dip pin socket you may have had a SMALL MISTAKE that cause a BIG PROBLEM... haha i just dont see how everythigs right but it doesnt work...
ps... have you tried building the board one more time it took me two tries when i did it

He is nice guy the ONLY bad thing was shipping but it should be fixed right? i have the BBB and i like it with bread board use.

ok, thats it... im buying from you in the future!

i second this, at least give it a second try...

Yes, it would be VERY nice. ;D

Just checked the DIP socket
all conections are good

your programmed the circuit right and everything went fine? the ic chip may be burnt out
