Well, Internet doesn't have the answer (at least I couldn't find it). You need to power the board with a power supply. That fixed the problem.

Hey there,
I'm new to the Arduino platform. I find it really interesting

Some days ago I bought a "Color LCD & Joystick shield for Arduino". I have a problem though.. Sometimes it shows a magenta color screen while running and sometimes when it starts. I think it's "crashing". Could it be a hardware problem or a software problem (library)? :-/

I read somewhere that this library (downloaded for the nuelectronics' site) only works with Arduino 13, if I recall corectly. :'(

Sorry for my English, I'm doing my best! :-[

Yeah, you should remove that.. Took me some days to realize that this option made my Single Chip Arduino's timings go crazy!!! ;D

Of course you must select the 8mhz clock setting, which is selected by default!

Sorry for bumping this old thread but I had an idea that I would like to share

You can write a Python script (Python has many libraries, including some MSN related). The script connects to the MSN network and acts as a translator for the Arduino

You have many options regarding the connection of Arduino and the PC. First one is the good old USB cable. You can also use the Ethernet shield (if you have a machine that's 24/7 and away, like a dedicated server or a VPS). You can also use BT, IR, WiFi.. There are MANY options, the only factor is knowledge and money ;D

I would like to see your progress (if you decide to build it!). I can also help

Yes, of course it is. Take a look at the webduino library, it has many examples from which you can learn a lot (at least I did!).

LOL, that can't happen.. I destroyed the parallel2gba link (Can't remember it's name) JUST YESTERDAY in order to get the parallel so I can build a parallel programmer! xD

I would love to try those demos on my some-years-old GBA
