Okay - so the diagram on the right is what I use. Thanks and I agree about this thing, but I already got this thing. The Micro-processor is Arduino thought isn't it? lol.

One more question about this thing....lol. What are the pins labeled with a dot like .D9? Some D pins don't have that DOT.
- as always Thank You - Ballard.

Yup.

Yeah - I suppose you've already climbed most of the learning curve, so no point switching now.

I was wondering the same thing. The Arduino site is always a good place to refer to, so I looked here, and found this:
PWM: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. Provide 8-bit PWM output with the analogWrite() function.
So that's what the dots mean - those pins are capable of PWM output.

Also note that there are no D0 and D1 pins. All arduinos have those - they are mapped to the serial I/O lines, but can be used for other things if your sketch doesn't need serial I/O.
These would be the pins you have your FTDI friend connected to. D0 is serial receive (RX) and D1 is serial transmit (TX). Presumably, you can also use those two pins as digital I/O on the mintduino.

Cool - and PWM means Pulse Width Modulation. Some have dots before the D and others After the D. I will investigate this later and give you some rest from me! Thanx again Bro. - Ballard

Glad you got it going - I was worried there for a bit that you might be a noob, but you seem like you know what you're doing in general.
Picture didn't come through, though. You have to use the Upload Attachment tab to upload a jpg or png.

EDIT - actually, I fixed the picture. It didn't like the facebook URL. I edited your post and pasted in the actual URL of the picture itself...
