Yeah, I did the 0-5v thing just right on the board using the 'duino's 5v pin. I salvaged these buttons as well, so I'll swap them out in a bit and pray that's the issue. Or I'll use my electronics workstation.

It's just weird though, I know the buttons work. The multimeter even says they do, but if it's a possibility, then I'll explore it. I'm tired of tweaking the pins on the code. They won't work with PWM pin 10 or 11 either, so it probably is the buttons.

No, not the buttons. I've tried a wire straight from 5v on the UART section straight to Pin 10/11, 5v from the v out pin to 10/11. Yeah, this thing just does not like picking up anything. This is really irritating. I feel like punching a wall and burning this or something.

Is there a compatibility issue due to the difference in pins from the mega or something? Argh. Surely someone out there has a Seeeduino mega and a screen and ten minutes so they can hook this up and use mpguino v0.82 code and try it and see if I'm not just delusional.

---- Is there anything I can do to see if the analog pins work? I'm not going to be happy or surprised if mine is just a bad one, but I don't think I can get any money back on it, or a return for that matter.
