HI

I got my order from GroovyGameGear.com today.  I have question about the wires installed on the RGB Driver.  Which wire is for what coming off the driver?  I understand One is Red, Green, Blue & 5 Volts but don't know which is which.  Also do I have to be aware which wire goes to what input terminal on the ledwiz?  For example, to I have to be aware that the blue input for a certain driver goes to a specific input on the ledwiz?

From the top (position 1);

Red (Ground or LED-Wiz Output)
Green (Ground or LED-Wiz Output)
Blue (Ground or LED-Wiz Output)
+5vDC

I usually recommend connection to the LED-Wiz RGBRGBRGB....etc, starting with output number 1.  Most software out there doesn't care, though, so you can wire them the way it suits you best.

Just had some other questions about the LED-Wiz and wiring.

I have wired my LED RGB Driver wires to the outputs on The LED WIzs.  I have a total of 8 buttons (24 ouputs) on Dev 1, 8 buttons (24 outputs) Dev 2 & 7 buttons (21 Outputs) on Dev 3.  I wired all the 5 volt wires together and placed in the USB 5V Output for each device. 

Questions:

1. DO I have to use the External Ground?
I figure I don't since I'm not running any power off the computer power supply (just the USBs will be powering them).

2. Do I have to concerned with the "Bank Voltage Select" terminals?
I'm not sure about this.  Since I'm only running the drivers off the USB power do I need to wire these terminals?

3.  DO I have to link the devices to each other via wires or are they linked via software aka LEDBlinky, etc.?

Thanks.


Tom.
