Here's how I've got it wired:

This is blowing my mind. I cant see how this can be working. Unless there is a short on my LED itself (which is very possible), there shouldn't be a complete circuit for the FoC LEd dice. Also, I pulled the RICE port for now.
Another side note: The Petit Crouton is a beast!!!!
I've man handle it a bit when working with it, but earlier this evening was the biggest scare. I wanted to do a quick test before I had to leave the house again, and as I was plugging everything in (switches, Leds, battery), I accidentally plugged in my 7.4v battery pack to the plug for my accent LED. when I did, I heard the start up sound, but the Kill Plug was in!?!? I pulled the plug and hit the switch and I heard some garbled sound and no light. When I saw what I had done, I unplug the battery and set things right. Now it would power on, but my LED didn't light up. I pulled out the SD card, reformatted it, copied the backup to it, plugged the card back in, and the LED still didn't work.
At this point I had to leave anyway. But I was thinking I fried the LED current regulator.
When I got back I tested the accent LED plugs. Since sound and motion and clash/block where working, I wanted to test and see if the accent LED (where I plugged in the battery pack) would work.
IT DID! Both accent LEDs worked fine, so there was hope.
I inspected the board and, to my relief, found that the Main LED wires where shorted. At some point when putting the PC into the chassis holder, I had pushed the wires together.
Anyway, just wanted to share that with you guys. I wont have to spend another 130 for a replacement, and I know, even more so, who much of a beating the PC can take.
Oh yeah, and that FoC issue is still boggling me.
I'm going to bed,
Happy SaberinzZZzZZzzzzz
