@alto777 Thank you so MUCH!!! The pointers thing wasn't going well for me. The typos weren't going to help either (I would have caught those eventually) The serial.begin I just threw in to troubleshoot....didn't consider where I put it, but it makes sense it shouldn't be in the loop. I'm not connecting this to LED's, I'm using this to control a relay board (active low relays) to control power to a bunch of wall outlets.
