It is working fine now! Thanks!

Still doing that!

I am using the Classix V0.99. According to the schematic, P0.23 is not
connected to anything! Does this pin should be connected to the +5V
coming from the usb cable (I guess this is USB_Vbus you are talking
about?)?  Is it normal that the LED are not always flashing after a
power down? I would expect that once the board is flashed you don't
always need to reprogram it?

Something else that is weird. Let say I am doing:
- Power up with USB cable connected
- lsusb list the board
- Compile and flash... still get the USB Broken pipe error message
- lsusb doesn't find the board anymore, reset with the USB cable in
always launch the program (led flashing) and I need to power down the
board to find it again (I guess it *reset* the USB connection)...

Ok... I am a little bit confused about the next step with the GCS and
all that stuff... Let say I got the LED flashing, what should I do
next? I wish I could do a simple test like reading data and
controlling servo...

Thanks!
