Yeah I think I will leave the house outline until the last thing, think I will focus on mega tree and arches.

Thanks, I changed power supplies and the 0.2V tolerance was enough of a difference to make it work. The bugger is that now I can't use that as an excuse to not complete my display ...... :-) ( I am just a Noob that may have bitten off more than he can chew for his first display)

One of my two F16s also has the same problem. Neither had been previously powered up. Getting power to outputs but won’t power up the board irrespective of if I use external power or power from V2. Would be very interested in any solutions. Thanks
