No Fuses!    Man you are lucky everything was OK or you could have

Not totally done yet, but made it to the first test to check the 3.3v and 5v lights. THEY WORK!!!! I know, seems kinda dull to the pros, but as a first time builder, I am completely excited! And on top of that, it was fun to build! Lets get these coops going- I have a new hobby and will soon be running out of things to solder!

Final test complete I have blinky, hooked up lights all is good. I have a ? do you have to pull the EX/RX board when you hook up the dongle with a cat 5 cable or just put the jumper on for not wireless I have pulling ex/rx off express didn,t want to  anything up but would like to leave it on .

[crazybob]

Wait for RJ or someone more experienced to answer for sure, but I believe the jumper just tells the unit where the information is coming from. I think you can still have both Cat5 and EX/RX hooked up at the same time without hurting anything.

Just jumper it and you'd be fine

OK I left EX/RX on and no blinky this is what i tried and still nothin

                        1)   LE left jumper on wireless and on terminate on the EX jumper on uni 2 (nothin)

                        2 )   LE took wireless jumper off left jumper on terminate , left jumper on uni 2 on EX ( nothin )

                         3)    Tried a bunch of different ways and no luck

                                                 Can someone tell me what to do

Ok, just want to be sure.  You've put the V5 together, and the on board test works fine?  Then you're trying to use a wired dongle to send DMX, but it already worked with the wireless?  Or just worked with the onboard leds?

Not exactly The LE works with lights when hooked up by cat5 cable but when I plug the EX on the LE I lose the lights as long as I leave the EX off everything is fine , I asked earlier if I could leave the EX plugged in even though I was hard wired it was said I could just leave jumper on so I tried it and it didn't work so I removed EX and it works fine

Can you try with the EX/RX onboard, and the wireless jumper in place.  Then hit the reset button and see if that causes the unit to work with the wired dongle?
