Okay, I rebooted into Windows to try again. I repeated the same steps and everything worked properly. I must have messed something up originally. Firmware is now updated successfully. Thanks for the help and for the great product.

Hi Windell,

No apologies necessary. If that is the worst that happens life is good :-)

I did try again using the revised instructions on the Wiki and got further but still failed. I added the Alpha Five library (as that seemed to be the missing component from before) and opened up the appropriate sketch. This time when I went to verify and compile, I got these errors:

After the failure I thought perhaps I needed to actually import the Time and Alpha Five libraries once the sketch was loaded before compiling. I tried that and the same errors occur. Sorry to be a bother but am I still just missing something simple?
