Output high at bootup (need to stay low) Solved

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);                       // Output to serial writing or BT

  pinMode(led7Pin, OUTPUT);                // initialize the led as a output control pin //
  pinMode(led8Pin, OUTPUT);                // initialize the led as a output control pin //
  pinMode(led12Pin, OUTPUT);                // initialize the led as a output control pin //
  pinMode(led13Pin, OUTPUT);                // initialize the led as a output control pin //
  //pinMode(11,INPUT); //for calibration push button
  //digitalWrite(11, HIGH);    // enable the 20k internal pullup for MEGA board
  digitalWrite((54), HIGH);  // enable the 20k internal pullup for MEGA board

// lots of code

I'd try to drive the pins to a known state at the beginning of setup().
