Yes I believe so. DPDT bat is clustered with the LED bat (3.3v) leads, which is then soldered to the amplifier's bat (VIN) output.

They are wired to BAT on the amplifier.

Yeah I'm at a loss. I charged the battery and checked the POT at they both worked fine. The LED code works but when I load the raygun code, they will not light up.

The only difference I see is in the brightness value. Try changing the brightness in my code, or charge the battery for a while. The code shouldn't be the issue. Try running an example that uses a potentiometer to eliminate that as the problem. Even if it was a problem, it shouldn't be the cause of the Dial LEDs not working. Those aren't controlled by the pot.

Interesting, so they all work as advertised so no issues there.

When I load the code.py they do not respond or light up. Is it possible there is an issue with the potentiometer?

Or any issues you see with the code?

Usually the issue is arrow direction. Make sure the signal flow is in the right direction.

Since the LEDs are receiving V and GND, the problem most likely has to do with signal.

I recommend running an LED example code and making sure you can get the LEDs to work on their own. Once you know that the LEDs are working, you should be able to get them running with the ray gun code.
