Day 2
Well didnt get as much work as I'd like done today, was a little busy. With some help from Lorcan and after several very minor burns and shocks I have my circuit done again. It definately has power connected ok with lights and such but I will need to test it using kermit to ensure its transmitting tag reads. I tried using a windows version as my laptop doesnt have a serial connection but im not sure how reliable it is and i didnt seem to be getting any results. Hope its just kermit and not the circuit :-( So will wait till comp. sci is open again on monday and use one of their Linux machines. In the meantime I want to get my router sorted. I have it reset and connected to my laptop so I just need to figure out how to configure it for what i want it to do.

Minor burns and shocks??? Oh dear, sounds like you need to be working under adult supervision ;-)
If you put an LED on the output of your circuit you should see it flicker on successful reads... this will give you your hardware proof.
Best of luck with the router, keep blogging :-)
Cool I was gonna ask you that tomorrow. I realised I could actually use kermit on the Gumstix to see if i could get reads but still not working. Agh! So annoying. Im gonna go over and over the circuit and just use the light like you said cos thats much easier for testing
