Yep that was it, thanks!

@Rongzhong Li it also says to modify the baud rate in the code. I found only one place it was set, but it was not specific - assuming I modified it in the right place though considering it doesn’t appear to be set anywhere else.

> Have you saved the opencast.ino to Bittle after you used WriteInstinct.ino to calibrate everything? I didn't think I had done that - I believe everytime I thought something was off I did the whole procedure over again, but I'll try it again > I had trouble with my remote as well. Have you used the testIfraredRemote.ino in the test modules and watched what happens on the serial monitor? yeah nothing was showing up in the serial monitor, but I'll try going through the software upload process again in entirety Good idea on starting from the stand-up position and lower legs not touching the table - I'll give that a shot thanks!

got it, thanks! please let me know if you come across any good recommendations here
