Wow! so after posting the link last night, I read through the comments on the firmware it referenced. Everyone was barking about it not compiling and such when I saw a tiny "I figured it out!" in the replies. Following it said they got the firmware to compile and it actually worked on the board, adjustments in play and all they did differently was use Arduino ver. 1.0.6.
Immediately d/l'd the version and firmware, which compiled easily, btw, and ran, not walked to my HICTOP, which took it as advertised. I even went in after that and corrected my stepper direction and viola, it compiled and uploaded!

NOW, there's a MINTEMP Err issue to be sussed out but I forsee that being a fairly straightforward fix, as I'm finding a lot of it about.
