Superb.

Well I must be an idiot or I somehow bought 90% non-working LED buttons. I took that harness and hooked the pos to +5 and black to ground and tried hooking all the lights up for a simple always on configuration for a test run. For some reason, only 2 of the 13 lights I had hooked up lit up. The 3rd one in the chain and the last one in the chain. By coincidence, the first one I manually tested, with the 1st connections in the chain, ended up being the 3rd one...  I can't imagine that 11 of 13 LEDs are bad?  I got these from Paradise Arcade. I also tried it with these



But that was a lost cause.

I realize the LEDWIZ is meant to make the buttons be programable and do all kinds of crazy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, but I am just trying to take baby steps here to just get the damn things on and am falling flat on my face.
PL1:
Per the last line of this post, have you tried unplugging and turning the LEDs around?

Since two are working, you probably just have the polarity reversed on the rest of them.

I am assuming that these LED buttons have an internal resistor, so you need to connect them in parallel...
yaksplat:
did you accidently plug them in series?
