Hello Graham, Seth here. Okay, I will just check to see if they are working. I thought the distro could detect our hardware and if it was in working order or not. I know of the *i2cdetect *command to see if the hardware is available but I thought there was a software to detect if the hardware still was working.
Seth P.S. Thank you for your input. I will check out the looping function for output. I might just see if the multi-meter can read the respected volts from the pins "I ruined." Thank you, again.
