Just saw ours but our coach/mentor/teacher won't let me look at it.

It's all lot smaller than I thought.

@ryanN Yeah pretty much ours. I was going to upload pics but it is pretty good in what you have.

well I hooked it up to a 9 volt and the error light flashed once umm... my dog ate it . Ok it does that consistently so i am just going to assume that it just needs to be programmed.

what does the back of the board look like

[RyanN]

The back of the board is flat with no components and a few traces. I would put some space between it and a piece of metal. Vivek, have you tried to program it? You need to hold down the tact button before you connect the power to enter programming mode. Continue holding the button down for 2 seconds then release the button while keeping the power on. Then the CMD0 light will come on. Press down a button on the remote control you want to use until the CMD0 light flashes off, then on and turns off again illuminating the next LED (CMD1). Here is the video of ours working. It's really easy to setup.

Now I did have a problem where, after I programmed it, it was working, then all of a sudden, it stopped working. I don't know if the remote changed modes, but I never did get it working again until I reprogrammed it. Hopefully it's not a programming glitch and it is just a mode or something on the remote that I was not aware of. (the remote was giving me trouble with the DVD player too, so I'm suspecting the remote) If anyone has any questions, I can try to answer them.

we received ours today (tues) i have not had a chance to mess with it though so hopefully this weekend or sometime soon i can tinker a bit and try to get it working

If someone with a board and access to a multi-meter can do some checking, I would appreciate it. Primarily I would like to know if the White header plug has a pin connected to the same pin on the micro that the Programming button connects to.

Team 1511, Rolling Thunder, in Rochester NY has received its sensor It did indeed come in a package labeled as the hint, in case anyone still has doubts about that. Got a chance to play with it tonight and got it to receive a signal from a remote. Had to strip the ribbon cable end so we could hook it to power, but it works! Haven't tested range, but up close it works just like its supposed to.
