iPod Serial play/pause on UNO

i posted on in programming well, i'm starting wonder if it's hardware problem ( in case i'm sol because know no hardware ever ).

the problem this:

i'm trying ipod play/pause , restart tracks based on input parallax ping))) sensor. sensor (as far know) works great, no response ipod. i'm not getting compiling errors, , i'm using lot of borrowed (it works think) code. i'm starting think physical structure causing ipod not respond. here bit of code , images.

code: [select]


#include <ipodserial.h>
#include <simpleremote.h>

simpleremote simpleremote;

// initialize
int pingpin = 7          ; // serial ping)))
int podpin = 0           ; // ipod tx, board rx
int podpout = 1          ; // ipod rx, board tx
int pingbaud = 9600      ; // ping))) baud rate
int podbaud = 19200      ; // ipod baud rate
int threshon = 20;
int threshoff = 40;

// set up
void setup() {
  //ipodserial();
  //todo: why did put here?
  simpleremote.setup();
}

void loop() {
  simpleremote.loop();
  simpleremote.sendipodon();
  delay(50);
  simpleremote.sendplay();
  simpleremote.sendbuttonreleased();
  delay(5000);
}


please meeeeeee.

i should add in well.

the red thing this: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8745
to step 5v(uno serial) down 3.3v(ipod serial)
