Rainbowduino - problems with programming

[Miles]

@jensstark

Thanks for that!

I did that yesterday. So… Best thing to do is probably go through it step by step again. If the Rainbowduino is Arduino compatible, I could give talking to the FTDI Basic breakout module a try, by uplaoding a simple “talk to serial” sketch.

Best,
Jens

(Too tired today to try much more.)

Yeah a simple FTDI breakout will work fine.

You could try my adaptation of the V1 Rainbowduino code - That has a “I’m alive” sketch at the beginning

[edit]

As for the LED hardiness… Yeah they are pretty reliable, I doubt you’ve fried it unless you’ve done something strange
