(08-26-2012) Hello, my little friend...

Here is the current state of R2.  The radar eye is just sitting there, the front PSI (the red light) needs lots of work still and the dome needs cleaning and polishing.  Still, it's good to see Artoo coming together.

I reworked a few issues with the lighting.  Some of the header pins were the wrong shape and the wire connectors were loose, so I replaced them on both the Arduino and the PSI boards to keep this from causing issues in the future.

I also tried to upload a later version of the sketch onto the Arduino, and for some reason I couldn't get it to upload.  Everything looks right, and the lights on the Arduino and the USB interface flash when I hit the upload button.  I keep getting a "not in sync" error, and I"m not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Paul, aka Joymonkey, has been very helpful in troubleshooting the problem - as well as packaging up these great lighting kits for the club.
