I'm just firing everything up after a long layoff and so I downloaded blink from the library. I get "expected unqualified-id before '--' token" If the library can't get it right I have little hope.
HELP please.

Blink is included in the IDE. Where did you download it from? Can you post the sketch please?

Sounds to me as if your example sketch has got mangled. I suggest you post the whole sketch (in [ code ] [ /code ] tags) and hopefully somebody will spot what's wrong with it.

This is the code I down loaded from the library. When I try to upload it it gives me thath message.

void setup() {

pinmode(13, output):
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);
  delay(1000):
}

The last character looks a little suspect to me!

[Reply #5 on:]

Last character is wrong and after

"Delay(1000)"
And
"PinMode(uvjh)"

There's ";" not ":"

sp. "pinMode", also you can't start anything with a closing comment.

Double check where you got that from. Although that's similar to the Blink example sketch included with the Arduino IDE, it's not the Blink example sketch. Perhaps it's one you wrote for yourself and forgot about? Anyway, I suggest you start again with the real Blink example.
