Eric, Installed a kit tonight on a friends BOP and nothing. Any ideas? Green LED is on and it reacts to the reset but in game play the light strips never come on. Installed per directions..

Quoted from lyonsden:Terribly sorry that the kit didn't work for you. I know how disappointing and frustrating this can be. There are three places where a kit can fail:
Aruidno on the pinduino: These blow (usually when power is plugged into an LED strip) ChrisHibler made the very smart suggestion to have the Arduinos mounted on plugs and headers for easy replacement. That will be happening on future kits I made to ease replacement.
LED strips: If the power is plugged in incorrectly, the first LED can blow. The Fix is to cut off the first LED and then solder the leaders to the next LED.
Power cord: Power is not getting from J118 (for a WPC) to the pinduino or LEDs. For yours, the arduino is getting power (+12V), so the +5V may be out.
In any case, I'll send you a new programmed pinduino as soon as possible and a new set of LEDs when I get more in.
Again, my apologies for having the pinduino not work.
No worries thanks for the reply. To make any product better and better is feedback. Game works fine all voltages are present not sure what happened. Next up I'm ordering one for my Creature! After watching your Creature video on youtube, it truly is a must for that game!
