I've read that the power source could cause issues, so I tested with the 5v and 3.3v from the arduino (duemilanove) powered via usb(from a macbook pro) and a 9'v batt to the barrel jack of the arduino
Anything else I should try?
I sort of feel as though the chip may be doa? but I'm an EE noob so I'll defer to the interwebs
