LED wiring noob needs help! Toss me a bone please. (LED-Wiz+GP)
Dazz:
Ok, I haven't really been much into the LED scene. I picked up several 5v LED's to replace the bulbs in my coin door and several other buttons on my pincab. I am trying to do a test wiring to see how I'm going to get everything wired into my cabinet. I've wired up a single LED to my LED-Wiz+GP, I've installed both the LED-Wiz app and also LedBlinky, but I can't seem to get any illumination from the LED.
This is how I currently have the LED wired.
I have wires going from the USB + 5v to voltage Bank 1-8 then from bank 1-8 to the - on the LED. From the + on the LED to input port 1 on the Led-Wiz.
Right now I just want this LED to turn on and stay lit. There must be something simple that I am missing.
Any tips?

Wire it directly to your PC power supply 5V and skip the LED-WIZ.

Or fix your wiring. ;D
Wire the LED Neg to the ground, and the LED Pos the the USB +5V right next to it. Ignore the bank voltage, and port 1.

But that would be defeating the purpose as I will eventually be using the LED-Wiz features once I get my RGB EI2's in. If I don't troubleshoot this now then I'll have to later.

Again, that would be defeating the purpose...

Well, in any case, you don't need the voltage bank for what you are doing.
Just wire to #1, and ground.
