I have two of these, and am just starting to try and work with them. I have one plugged in to my computer, with just a USB cable. I have one LED attached to it on channel 16 (one leg to ground, one to #16). Using Win 7 x64. When I plug in the LEDWiz, Windows makes the "found new usb device" noise, and tells me "USB Input Device installed".
I tried just opening SimpleLEDTest.exe in LEDBlinky, thinking that would let me test things out, but when I select "All LEDS" and change the intensity slider the LED doesn't light, and when I check the voltage of Pin16, its at 0. The test program shows only one device on the left side "LEDWiz-1".
Are there drivers or Active X controls, or DLLs I need to install before this will work?

After fiddling with this some more, I am now able to get the LEDWIz "resident software" and LWSend Interactive to send commands to the LEDWiz, but can never measure a voltage on any pin that is higher than ~.5V. Checking the 5V and Ground pins shows 5V, but all outputs won't go higher than .5V, no matter what intensity command I send it. Sending it a "1" value gets me about 0.01 v. Sending a 48 makes it about .55V.

Resolved this myself. I had it wired up incorrectly, I had been assuming the numbered terminals were high, so I had been connecting and measuring between the Ground pin and the terminals, rather than between the 5V pin and the terminals.

Glad you got it resolved!
Sort of an off topic question but do you have a touch screen monitor/display laying around that you can test LEDWiz along side with?
