Thanks. Yeah. I'm done. I'm so tired I can't spend any more time than this (I work full time with three part time jobs) and I'm spending my spare time doing this. Maybe I'll try again next year. Thanks for the help.

I found a mistake. Even when I put the pin header where it belongs, it still didn't work. I am disappointed that after spending hours on this I am still debugging it. I am giving up. Two kits bought and delivered at high cost with no gain but hours …

I sorted out the mistake causing the issues I am having. The DIL header was in the wrong place. I guess you shouldn't try soldering stuff after a twelve hour workday especially when you are not that good at soldering in the first place. I didn't thi…

Wow, fixed in record time! I now have eight functioning panels. I do not know how to thank you. I rechecked the solder joints and one seemed sketchy, so I redid it. No change. While the panel was powered on, I looked closely at the front of the pane…

OK. I may try to buy another one from EMS, if I can't resolve it by fixing the solder joint. Thanks again. I will go check it (again) now.

OK thanks. This is very helpful.

I've got 7 out of 8 panels running perfectly. The 8th will have some issues. I had a blocked hole for the diode and struggled to get the diode through it. Tried a lot of different things to unblock the hole. I also had to use a resistor that I had a…

OK, solved that one panel. Now I may debug the others a little. Funny story: I wanted to check the LED collars as you suggested, but didn't know what these are. So I googled "LED collars." I don't have a dog, but if I ever want to know what I need …

I was wrong. Five of the other LED's in the quadrant of the panel I mentioned are off (the other five in the top half of that quadrant). All of the LEDs in the bottom half of that quadrant work fine. But I had two panels doing with the five bright l…

Those five LEDs are fully bright and the others are acting normally. I will check the orientation. I didn't realize there was a way to do this once the leads were clipped. I don't know much about electronics, so the music idea may be a huge challen…
