152 +Center IO stack is a stack of 23 LED's, 22 blue and 1 green for ethernet activity. These are duplicated next to each other and driven by each their SAA1064T chips. Earlier we found the i2c address and just by playing around figured out that 4 segments of 1 byte binary values are used to set ship register.
