[QUOTE="Lightning303, post: 1065289, member: 97876"] You could test if the arduino and pin 6 work in general, by running some test code like this [CODE]int ledPin = 6; // LED connected to digital pin 13 void setup() { pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);// sets the LED on delay(1000); // waits for a second digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW); // sets the LED off delay(1000); // waits for a second }[/CODE] found that here: [url]http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/PinMode#.Uwdjz_T-vXx[/url] Then you run the code and use your mutlimeter to check that pin 6 outputs 5v for 1 second, then 0v for a second and so on. That way we can determain that the code is running and that pin 6 is outputing like it should. And we can rule out arduino malfunction. Atleast thats what i would do ;) [/QUOTE]
