Figured out why I couldn't upload via the usb-serial cable. Seems I was forgetting to poke the reset button. Duh. Now that I've realized that, things seem to be working pretty well. A quick sample sketch verified that serial communication from the "arduino" to the PC worked.

So then I hooked up my Ping))) sensor using this example. Lo and behold, things worked just dandy. I grabbed a ruler and it seemed to be reasonably accurate too. Cool beans.

I think it's time now to start dismembering the RSMedia to get serial access to its brains. I'm also toying with the idea of doing a bit of PHP work and adding a couple missing functions to the ol' homepage here. Decisions decisions...
