WTF? The web site I go to looks nothing like that? I cannot get it to flash the boxs. I hit "go" and nothing happens, what am I doing wrong? Its freaking me out, big time.

@FireguyNtx Sorry to hear you're having trouble with our programmer webpage. It doesn't work on Internet Explorer, and requires Javascript, so if you're using IE or have Javascript disabled, that would explain it. We've had great success with Firefox and Chrome so you could try those, as well as the browsers on Android and iOS devices. Good luck, let us know if you figure it out!

Thanks, I was trying in IE. Changed to firefox and it works. The instr. say to hold button and turn on, then release (first LED flashes slow). press again before you mouse click "go" (second LED stays on solid) ???? They say the second led pulses for each byte (the first led on mine pulses). when done the 2nd LED stay on, sometimes 1 and 2 stay on. I checked my solder, looks good, Im pretty careful about that. Guess im stuck with the default.
