====== Programming messages ======

Use the [[http://www.wayneandlayne.com/blinky_programmer/|blinky programmer]] page to load messages in to your Blinky POV. Be sure to follow [[http://www.wayneandlayne.com/files/blinky/images/programming_animated_gif/blinky_programming.gif|this animated guide]] to putting the Blinky POV into programming mode (it's a bit unintuitive!).
