One of the joys of the Arduino Cult Induction Sessions is that mistakes and omissions are generally caught on the spot and there is no lag between the steps we forgot to include an the instructions and the person who’s board isn’t working.
This is something to chew on while I put together some bigger pieces.

This group got further along than any induction so far. I was really happy and thank every one who came out. I have a couple of things here as a follow up that might be helpfull and if you leave comments or email me I can follow up here as well.
First here is a map of the dorkboard pins using the arduino pin numbering system.
Also here is the .inf file which makes the Benito use the built in windows drivers.

And if you want to build one out you can get to the next arduino cult induction on the 27th of this month.
Here is a small example of using the arduino/wiring platform to control things in the real world.
A pretty good reference for the controlling stepper motors can be found at.

The following Circuit fleshes out the sketch at the site above.
In the course of the Arduino Cult Induction series and the group purchases, I have evolved several versions of the DorkbotPDX programmer and released them into the wild. Unfortunately the pinouts for the programming cable have evolved with the programmers so the cables are unique to each. With the batch of programmers we just purchased this will settle down Though the pinout may not make sense in this particular case it will be the same for at least 1000 boards.
Here is a quick guide to cables for the DorkbotPDX programming boards for the rbba and the dorkboard.

I am old. I won’t say how old exactly but I am half way through a few experiments.
Three of these experiments will be funded as Tempus Dictum Products.
