JayG I took a look at the code and it seems fine and compiles, however I am using the Arduino v1.1 software on a Win7 PC.

With this and other projects I have worked on it seems that the newer versions of the Arduino software has more bugs.

Try Arduino version 1.1.x

Also, the transistor orientation is important since a transistor can act as a diode and only allow current to flow in 1 direction.
If the transistors are backwards you may only be able to raise , lower or do neither.

Does anyone see any benefit to making the Arduino boards any smaller?
If so I may try to implement this on a TI EZ430-F2012 which is smaller literally than your thumbnail.
