I've been having stability issues with the map since the last update and the map generally sitting for a few months during a move. I've double checked the basic wiring schematic and everything appears correct except I removed the push buttons. I attached a video of what the map was doing after boot. I'm not sure if it's a bad bread board or some of the wires shorting or what. I've gotten the map to work sometimes, but then it'll spaz out randomly too.

Would you mind trying to re-attach the video. For some reason there is only an audio file attached. - Mark

I seemed to fix it by disconnecting pin 2 power to the breadboard. Not sure why though.

Thanks for the video. That's indicative of the LED's not being properly grounded to the RPi. They must share the same ground plane for the RPi to properly control the LED's. So you might double check that they are tied together. I'm glad that removing the one pin seemed to help, but it might be worth another look to be sure all is good. - Mark
