ciao henrik
i am not quite sure, which one the ardiuno diecimila is (couldn't find any info about it), but there are some points, that could be checked anyway, when working with arduino:
- did you upload the firmware to the arduino board using the arduino IDE
software? (sorry, if that seems too obvious, but i experienced, that people sometimes didn't know that)
- does the version of the firmware match the version of the [pduino]
object, you are using?
- did you choose the correct chip, when uploading with the arduino IDE
software? in 'menu -> tools -> Microcontroller(MCU)' two are listed: Atmega8 and Atmega168. i think, the default setting is 'Atmega8', although newer boards come with a 'Atmega168' shipped. i experienced many times, that this was the culprit, since it is even possible to upload a firmware for the wrong chip.
- did you switch the digital pins, that you wanted to use as output, to
output mode?
did you activate the inputs, so that they report anything?
please report any error and not just 'i had some errors'
what exactly did you do to trigger this errors?

i think, it would try to send data even with no usb connected, as long it has power. depends on what firmware is on it.
various older versions of the arduino board.
i suspect a software/firmware problem here. if you tried with other boards as well, you probabyl would also have had to upload the proper firmware first. did you do that?
