Well I was able to get the triacs and chips in and ran the test program with success. I attempted to plug in the dongle and connect to vixen with no success. I tried a few things on the computer thinking that was the issue. Then I touched up a few solder joints on the DMX in jack and the problem was solved. I now have BLINKY FLASHY!!!
I was able to throw together my 2nd LE in the past two nights without issue. Now I just need some LE boxes, some plugs, smart strings, ethernet cables and of course a house to put it on.
