Nope. This was my re-hash of the MPGuino.

I must be confusing the Uno with other hardware.
Could be. I haven't looked at it in quite a while, but one of my complaints about MPGuino was that it's not compatible with the Arduino IDE. IIRC, the creator ditched the Arduino bootloader to free up space in flash and (I think?) make it less prone to bricking itself (re-writing its flash while in use). I can understand and respect that, but it means you need a dedicated ISP programmer to get new code onto the board.
The Uno (and subsequent boards) replaced the FTDI USB-serial chip with a second native-USB AVR processor which acts as a programmer and/or serial comm chip. I'm not sure whether or not that second chip will satisfy the requirements of a dedicated programmer.

Anyway, good luck and feel free to play with the code I posted.
