SecondSun:
Go blame the guy who put that tutorial on the official arduino website.Though if the board had been damaged, it would have occured at the very beginning, before I even posted here. Your snide comment about how I am going to destroy the arduino without any explanation is by far the least productive thing in this entire thread. How about you come off your high horse and talk eye-to-eye with a puny uninformed peasant like myself?
I linked that tutorial.
You did not tell us what you were doing including which tutorial, if any, you were reading.
It wasn't until #15 that you mentioned it. I suggest that you stop with the indignation routine.
