Re: Just got an E3d-How to wire? Complete beginner

In R-H are you getting any error messages?  It really just sounds like it isn't connecting to your PC.  I doubt you did anything to your board unless your tin foil shorted out on something else other than the pins.  There aren't going to be bells and whistles going off when you hit your reset button so don't assume the worst.  Check the simple obvious first and when that doesn't work re-flash the firmware and see what you end up with.

Thanks for the fast reply. I am retrying in arduino. When I hit upload I get

Please press the RESET BUTTON on your Teensy to upload your sketch.  Auto-reboot only works if the Teensy is running a previous sketch.

I hit the restart button after I get this message. Is there any indicator that it went through? Is there a way to check that it transferred?

Jumper then hit reset just as you hit enter from your command screen them remove jumper.  As far as telling if it went through the easiest way is just run up your temp past 220.  But if you don't have control over the printer because it won't connect and you've verified that all else is good.  Then you don't have it flashed correctly.

Re: Just got an E3d-How to wire? Complete beginner

I think something might be wrong with the motherboard or some other hardware issue. I am still not getting any readings from my Solidoodle after flashing it. Possibly due to my fault for accidentally having the motherboard touch the back of the printer while it was on. The LEDS flickered and the green light on the board went off. As soon as I stopped them from touching they went back to normal. Everything still runs as far as lights and fans- just no manual input controls from Repetier. May that have caused the no readings and response? I am still getting "Printer stopped due to errors. Fix the error and use M999 to restart." messages every time I click a command.

Again, sorry for all the questions and trouble I am having.

I can't say for sure if shorting out your board caused damage but I can say it probably didn't help the situation.  Make sure your thermistor wires aren't shorted out or broken and that nothing else looks out of place.  Then start saving your money for a new board.  There are many to choose from and it is a great opportunity to upgrade to one that offers many more features.  The most notable would be ones that allow G-code fan control.
