If you have RPM, the problem is probably outside the MS. the Zeal board only conditions the CAS inputs.

Resistors on the correct side of the LED?

Software settings correct?

If you have a scope, start tracing the signal from the LEDs back.

Oh, if you were loading firmware with the ECU connected to the coils, you may have also burned out the ignitors.
