Hi Forum
Just wanted to send a note and say thanks to everyone that gave me the help I needed to get the boards and find old post to find my way. The first one is a Little intimidating :o.

But all went well, and you can See in the picture,  I made one of the small diode testers and it worked great. when you hook it up and run Vixen and a TEST CHANNEL on 512 adjusting the intensity back and forth the red and green LED's one goes dim and the other brightens.  That little tool is great if you have nothing else to hook up to so you can tell if at least you have some controll :P

If you care to look at the post on how to build the LED TESTER here is the link. After  I dug the parts up it took about 15 minutes to build and half of that was insulating the leads inside the srink wrap :D

P.S. Hey RJ if you happen to read this, please don't forget I need a couple of those ver2 boards when they hit the sale and trade ;)

Thank everyone! ;D

Hey Kwajtony

Thanks for the sales pitch,  one thing for sure I will have to have a back brace soon. Because as my wallet shrinks it's harder to sit straight :D <wd..

Take care

Neil
