Just another thank you to everyone here for giving me the confidence and information for building my LE. I started with a buy-n-sell approach with a USB dongle and a 4th gen LE, however after Kurt ran the coop, I just had to give it a go on my own. Well, I'm glad to say that this evening I finished my first LE build. I was pretty stoked when I did the test power on and had two LEDs lit. Then after dropping the rest of the chips, I was able to past a self test with flying colors. Tomorrow I'll build kit #2 of 2 and then do some real testing with the dongle. Looking forward to getting the DCS/SSC/Active hubs to build up too! I'm definitely going to need an etherdongle so hopefully that coop gets launched soon too, but I have LOTS of work to do on learning how to sequence the lights.
Anyways, thanks again to all for the help along the way...and extra thanks to Kurt for the really easy to sort out parts. every bag so perfectly labelled.
Cheers!
