@arjo129:
Can you explain what you mean by "It works!".

Is COM1 the port you normally use to upload to the Duemilanove?
Before you upload the code, look in the IDE menu Tools | Serial Port and see which ports are available/visible.

One thing that might have happened is you shorted something out on the board which might have blown something critical on the board, in which case it's toast.
But a short can also trigger the USB fuse which then disables the COM port in Windows (although it may depend on your windows version - I know WIN 7 will do this). If that's the case you have to unplug the port, and if it's on a hub unplug that too. Then plug it back in again.

I want to have two arduinos for this
Why?
Assuming that it can be done at all, I can't see any reason why it couldn't be done with one Arduino.

If this is being installed at a public beach:
a) how are you going to prevent your installation being stolen?
b) won't you need permission to install this station?

You can write a function called Dot but not the way you wrote it. Try this:
Code:
void Dot(void)
{
      digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
      delay(500);
      digitalWrite(13, LOW);
      delay(1000);
}

BTW the second delay should be the same length as the first.

You can't have spaces in function (or variable) names. Try this:
Code:
void moveforward()

The amount of time needed for a DS18B20 conversion is dependent upon the resolution of the reading. By default this is 12 bits. If you use 9-bit resolution (half a degree precision) the delay is less than 100ms.

The Fast Fourier Transform is a mathematical technique to analyze the frequency components of a signal.

385  Using Arduino / Networking, Protocols, and Devices / Re: I2C EEPROM help on: August 09, 2012, 10:29:11 pm
There might be a way to do it but the datasheet does not describe the protocol. It implies that whatever protocol is used is a standard one used by FPGAs when they load their configuration from the EEPROM. You'll have to try to dig up info via google/wikipedia etc.

386  Using Arduino / Networking, Protocols, and Devices / Re: I2C EEPROM help on: August 09, 2012, 08:42:10 pm
I don't think that is an I2C EEPROM - the datasheet doesn't mention its I2C address.
The datasheet says "In-System Programmable (ISP) via Two-Wire Bus" which isn't the same thing as I2C and it also describes the chips as "Serial Memories Designed to Store Configuration Programs for Field Programmable Gate Arrays" which suggests it is more of a special purpose type of chip rather than a generic I2C EEPROM.

I think you'd be better off logging to a serial EEPROM rather than an SD card. It'll take up a lot less space and use a lot less power.

388  Using Arduino / Networking, Protocols, and Devices / Re: How to Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection on a serial port? on: August 06, 2012, 08:45:51 pm
Although ICOM describes their CI-V protocol as being CSMA/CD, there is no carrier. It is basically a collision detection protocol with multiple access so it would be more accurate to describe it as MA/CD.

This has ICOM's description of the CI-V protocol. See section 5-4.

How are you sending and reading these messages?

Pete
390  Using Arduino / Programming Questions / Re: Checksum Nightmare! on: August 05, 2012, 08:06:52 pm
Since this is a CAN bus device it presumably formats the messages as explained at this page which says that a 15-bit CRC is used:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus

and this page shows the polynomial:
