Pylon,
Your assistance (if that is what you want to call it) IS NOT REQUIRED OR DESIRED.
The code works on another platform, with the exact same wiring configuration. To make this clear, I can plug the power, gnd and signal into a Uno, and submit the same sketch and get the proper results. So even you should be able to grasp that code and wiring are not the problem. I suspect I know what the problem is, but before I break out the oscope, I posted a question to see if anyone else had encountered this issue before.
So pylon, please take your attitude elsewhere. Pehaps other can use your 'help'...
