    Weird programming error

    I'm learning how to progam the picaxe, and I just built a simple circuit. it has one light sensor on input 1, and one led on output 4. I typed in my code and downloaded it. The led remains off. I bring it under ythe light and its still off. then i unplug the serial cable and all of a sudden the...
