Wow, I'm not sure what went wrong as it was working a few hours ago. I powered it up to check some settings and the LED's wouldn't light up even though they worked 2 hours ago. Started looking for a loose wire and unpluged some jumpers and plugged them back in and started seeing smoke and smelled burnt insulation. Pulled the power immediatey as the power wire was melting.

 

I'll look at it in the morning and double check the schematic wiring.... Sigh....

Most likely crossed the positive and negative and fried out the Pi and electronics. Just my guess from personal experience.

Yeah, when I pulled a wire out I probably put it back in the wrong spot.

I rebuilt it and it has been working fine for several days. I can't wait for the frames to show up and finish this off.
