I just want to thank you for taking the time to write that post. It was informative, thank you. I'm still a little lost, mostly because I am the type of person that needs to "see" these types of project.
Dan - you're welcome, hope it helped a little. Tried to make it as clear as I could. They are a little complicated, until you figure out what they are, what they do, and how they do it. The nice think is, with all the info here, and at DIYC, most of that is done for you - just need to know how to hook it all up. And Jeff's buffer board makes it really easy, if you have a MC DIO card. It's a little tougher using the NI board, but, if the NI doesn't work on LOR software, it's moot. I tend to forget that I'm a "visitor" here on LOR, as I use a different software to drive my lights. Not better or worse, just different...
oh yeah, you DON'T want to see MY project!! I used a whole bunch of different cabling, none of which is meant for the DIO card, OR the buffer board, so it really looks like a mess...one wire into two, then into a different two, with those wires going to two different boards - I mean, some of the first wire's going to one board, some to the other, and vice-versa, then they get spliced into ribbon cable - it's a nightmare, but it works great!! :o)

The production is underway. I rec'd an email with the artwork. I am away from a place where I can view it, but will try to make sure everything is good as soon as I can.

They've always been fast for me - once, I remembered a part about 20 after I had placed the order on-line - called, but it was already too late. They had already started the "pick"!
No hurry, chuck, as we have a rather long wait on the boards. Don't kill yourself. Besides, I just got my LEDTricks panels, and have 768 led's to solder...

Don't be, this is my first custom build. Just riding the coat tales of some wonderful others on here.

Parts are all sorted...Just need to box and send. Should be in mail by Friday.
P.s. over a thousand little pieces, you would think they would slip and throw an extra Led in, NOT
Thanks Jeff for your insight
