Hi
I wasn't using any Arduino code. I was just using the 5V pin as a power source. The entire setup was on a breadboard. Everything was according to the Fritzing picture on this page: Testing an IR Sensor | IR Sensor | Adafruit Learning System. The only difference was I was using the 5V pin instead of the battery packs. Some info on the problem: When I upload the blink sketch, it just says 'uploading' forever. I am using Arduino 1.0 and the status bar gets about 5/6 through before getting stuck. Thanks for any help.
I have tried Resetting the board, but nothing seems to work.
