Mega 2560 R3 "1.0 added SCL and SDA near to the AREF pin" - huh?

Northof49:
They don't appear to be labled on the added pins next to AREF, so picking the wrong one on this attempt is 50/50.

They are labeled, per my post above.

As for why I2C isn't working, well, sounds like you are debugging that one. Seems odd though, unless the Wire library needs changes to work with the Mega (which seems unlikely).
