Hi Ming-Che, WHOW! :) Thanks a LOT for the explanations! 8) That will help to start programming the Arduino! One question: Did you download the arduino-1.6.8 binary distribution or the sources and compile those locally on your GENTOO box? Best regards Meino PS: In a few minutes I will send you a mail offlist with some infos about what I have found and for what I will use the arduino. I would be happy, if you can use it for you arduino project also!
