Openlog burned?

Hello,

First of all, I am quite newbee, so please, be gentle :wink:

I used openlog on my arduino duemilanova (not the pro).

It was working fine, using the tx and rx pin.

Then I wanted to changed to other pins, using software serial.

After that it didn’t work anymore,even if I put it back like it was working before.

It even doesn’t blink, except if I shorten the square pad to flash it, but since I don’t have (yet, it is ordered by now) an ftdi cable, i cannot reflash it.

So here are my questions:

Could it have been burned and destroyed?

Could I have destroyed the firmware?

Is it ok to run with a 5v arduino? I found this:

and I wasn’t aware of it…

Any help appreciated, also for future newbie before they screw up their openlog.

Thanks
