the resistor from LED to GND is shorted in the sender diagram on

You are correct. Thanks for the report.
@DiggiD As you provided the original diagram, could you please supply us a corrected diagram?
Basically, the resistor shouldn't be purely vertical on the breadboard. Currently it's not having any current limiting effect.
I've tried to create a fix version with Fritzing, but I'm hopeless at it. Anyone with some Fritzing (or similar) skills want to take a shot at correcting it?
Another ping for @DiggiD to assist ... or anyone else with some _Fritzing_ skillz.
Also red and blue don't correlate on power bus

Yeah, I noticed that too when I was (cough) attempting to duplicate it in Fritzing.

@glmnet Thank you sir. You are a dead-set legend!
I've updated the wiki page. Marking this issue closed.
