Now with more beer!
Smart PIC/Dumb PIC setup is working nicely. They both read the xBee transmission line and respond appropriately. Whoo!
We also fixed up the board for the Duck. The battery connection is much more solid now and we've improved the connection to the pump.
David added a better jumper on Blinkyn, so now he's more reliable. Blinkyn, not David.
We were seeing the pump turn on sometimes right on powerup. We think it's software (pulldown didn't help) but we're not sure. It's working now, but we don't expect it to stay that way. We commented out setup IO, iButton, xbee and clrf intcon and uncommented them one by one. Unfortunately, it worked in the end. Go figure.
Green tea mochi ice cream and Mission Street beer are up for grabs. Enjoy~!

I figured out why the iButton on the pic sometimes goes off. It's because i'm not reject 0x00 0x00 and 0xff 0xff as invalid reads. So when it's floating (no button) it might see those.
All I have to do is add the two registers in question together and reject if it's 0! Will implement tomorrow.
David out
