[PD] problem with diecimila and pd extended

[Roman Haefeli]

ciao henrik

i am not quite sure, which one the ardiuno diecimila is (couldn't find
any info about it), but there are some points, that could be checked
anyway, when working with arduino:

- did you upload the firmware to the arduino board using the arduino IDE
software? (sorry, if that seems too obvious, but i experienced, that
people sometimes didn't know that)

- does the version of the firmware match the version of the [pduino]
object, you are using?

- did you choose the correct chip, when uploading with the arduino IDE
software? 
in 'menu -> tools -> Microcontroller(MCU)' two are listed: Atmega8 and
Atmega168. i think, the default setting is 'Atmega8', although newer
boards come with a 'Atmega168' shipped. i experienced many times, that
this was the culprit, since it is even possible to upload a firmware for
the wrong chip. 

- did you switch the digital pins, that you wanted to use as output, to
output mode?

- did you activate the inputs, so that they report anything?

- please report any error and not just 'i had some errors'

- what exactly did you do to trigger this errors?

i think, it would try to send data even with no usb connected, as long
it has power. depends on what firmware is on it.

i suspect a software/firmware problem here. if you tried with other
boards as well, you probabyl would also have had to upload the proper
firmware first. did you do that?
