I know, pics.  I will get the up soon.  The very large resistor is smoking.  Any ideas?

the wrong resistor was sent with the original coop.  Did you change it out?

No I don't think I did.  Where can I find the info?

wait, I know about the one on the smart strings but there is one on the hub too?  The one I am talking about is the big red one.

Yes, the one on the hub has to be swapped out.  See http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=4408.msg87295#msg87295

If your in a bind radioshack has a wire wound resistor that will work, think it is 100ohm 10 watt instead of 3 watt.  However that thing is huge compared to the space given to it on the board.  Then switch it out with the right one later.
