hey
the baud rate was the problem, i changed it to 19200 and it works great
thanks for the help!
also, I forgot to mention this, but I get the following error when I compile the Arduino source:
In function 'void ArduinoConversation(int)':
error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'unsigned char*
i just took out "unsigned" from the sendStringToFlash() function and it compiles properly.
beltran, you may want to look into that...
