Does optiLoader report success when you burn the bootloader again?
Well I had only loaded optiLoader onto Dueminalove and then was burning each chip with Arduino powered through usb, I wasn't using the serial monitor. So my only "monitor" of what optiLoader is doing is the led. And I'm not yet sure how to use the serial monitor, since I am just going through usb; this is my first forte with Arduino and AVR in general... iamnewb haha.
I am trying to figure out how I can use the sesrial monitor just through usb.
