Its wrong to assume I got mine working in half a day matey - a hell of a load of bench testing, live testing, and god knows how much fail before it even came close to functioning properly.
Go back through my thread, you can see how close I was to sacking it all in.
But you don't learn anything unless you try, so keep at it.
Like I've said before, if you don't know how something works, build a very simple test circuit just for that component and some test code for the arduino. Get used to how it functions on its own. Then build your complete system up bit by bit.
You really need to get to grips with programming the arduino, start with the samples, do an led blink test, or an lcd 'hello world' - work through it and build up your knowledge of the basics.
