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.
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.
