Well, I've been installing an ACE board onto my stock V1E boardset.(bbt)
I've got everything soldered up, and connected, but am still having a few quirks I need to work out.

To start us off, the selenoid doesnt click. The back LED(yellow) blinks, but it seems as though there is no/not enough juice to the selenoid. It does nothing, even if I wiggle the wire, flip the connector(which shouldn't matter for the lack of polarity... right??), anything.. it doesnt click. The leads on the microcontroller board are fine(for the selenoid.).

Thats my main concern for now.
I have yet to put everything in place and check the eyes. I'll probably do that in the next few days.

Thx in advance.

And I don't know if it will ask you to log in, but if you want to kill some time, I've posted some other pictures of the project as well. I'll be adding some more later today. Click here (http://photobucket.com/albums/b151/Bakerboy4679/BBT%20Ace%20project/)

I'm sorry there not very clear, but I can assure you they are at least in the correct spot(I took it slow, and printed out Ed's wireing pictures so they were right in front of me the entire time..

BTW, Thanks a TON on those pictures Edwin!

well, hopefully. I havent tested the eyes yet.

I updated the pictures.
I went ahead and checked the leads on the noid, just to make sure they were ok. As you can see in the top pic, there fine.
