For a second the red LED flickered a bit and then it started blinking one second on and off. If that program works, should I assume the other will can push on forward?
Sounds like you nailed it. If the LED started blinking right after bending it (temporarily) and then touching up the solder points, it sounds like you may have had just a bad LED connection, because the program did actually load properly. Either way, sounds like you're good to go forward and load up the MPGuino .pde. Did you build the other circuitry yet?
