WOW, Instructables just announced that the BEBL won the Light Up the Night Contest! They are shipping out the sweet Grand Prize "Urban Awarness Jacket" from Cordarounds.
I entered the contest on a lark when I entered the Arduino Contest. Who would have guessed?
Thanks for all the support!

Very cool. Congratulations, Justin. It's been a while since I checked in on what you were up to. Looks like a lot. If I had any free time, I'd take you up on the challenge. As it is, I may have to commission you to make a set or two. Anyway, great job! Hopefully the jacket you won is half as cool as your leisure sweater from back in the old days.
Hi Justin,
I got the Accel from Polulu, and hooked it up to the Duemilanove Arduino. Uploaded the BEBL.pde sketch, and all I'm getting is a blinky LED ! HELP !
Here's what I've done :
Using the Duemilanove Arduino Board
> On a small breadboard, connected the Accel.
> +5V from Duemilanove to VIN on Accel
> GND from Duemilanove to GND on Accel
> X Out from Accel to PC5 (ADC5) of ATMega (Pin 28 on DIP, and J2 PIN 6 on Duemilanove).
> Y Out from Accel to PC4 (ADC4) of ATMega (Pin 27 on DIP, and J2 PIN 5 on Duemilanove).
> Z Out from Accel to PC3 (ADC3) of ATMega (Pin 26 on DIP, and J2 PIN 4 on Duemilanove).
> LED on PIN PD2 (INT0) of ATMega (Pin 4 on DIP, and J1 PIN 2 on Duemilanove)
> Uploaded the BEBL.pde sketch.
> Move the board in any of the three axes, but the LED just blinks, does not light up steady on acceleration and / or deceleration. (I've enabled max. sensitivity on Accel - GS1 and GS2 grounded).
The First line of the sketch has the line #include - do I have to copy-paste this file from - to a specific location ?
When the sketch starts up, the first couple of lines look like this :

Am I missing out on something here ? Is it possible for you to send me the sketch again via email - maybe the one I downloaded from Instructables has some error ? I'm assuming with the Polulu accel, I do not have to re-calibrate.
Any other help you can extend will be appreciated.
