Arduino circuit/breadboard not working at higher voltage?

retrolefty:
Almost correct. That larger capacitor you have wired between ground and +5vdc should be changed so that it's negitive lead is still wired to ground as you presently have it, but it's positive lead is connected to your regulator's input pin, which is any of the pins in row two on your picture.

hey Lefty-

thanks for the reply..

I have changed the error per your suggestion.. (I think)

however,...I have a question.. (sorry if this is 'noob' stuff)

would it be any different or problematic if wired up like then?

thanks

@CrossRoads-

thanks for the suggestions/links... not very good are reading/following schematics yet.. symbols/signs..etc (all new still)..
so I'll have to go over it more in depth.

Easy to say wire something up like this or that or like the C6..etc for someone with a bit more .. 'comfort' I guess?

I really appreciate the help though.. (just wish I felt like I was doing your time/help justice by understanding it and being able to implement it easily)

but if I 'do' in fact have the vRegulator portion all wrapped up.... I can now move on to focus on your comments solely.
(is the link you supplied supposed to be to the regulator spec sheet?... confused as you talk about the VCC & GND of the chip...etc directly after)?

(was/am looking for figure one in .pdf you linked to)

Thanks

=)
