Light Buddy Firmware (con't)

Back after looking for bad solder connections and the like.  I made a few last minute changes when laying out the PCB, to make the routing more straight forward.  One of these was swapping the labels for RB5 and RB6.  Well RB6 is part of the In Circuit Serial Programmer.   The fix required cutting a trace and jumping one via to a trace.  If you look real close at the PCB, just to the left of the PIC, you might be able to see it.  Need to use one strand of a 28AWG stranded wire to do the jump.  The via holes are only 10mils.  Here is a better look.

Now it connects and the bootloader loads.  Maybe now we can get somewhere.
