More Components, More Problems

Today, I tried to make use of more components in my kit. I started with the gyroscope module and finished with trying to get the LEDs to create an animation (you'll see if you scroll down a bit!).

Firstly, the gyroscope. I managed to get this to tell me its co-ordinates on the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE. I'd like to experiment further with this and perhaps try to create something like a pedometer or a game.
Here's a video of what I could see on the serial monitor as I move the gyroscope:
Later, I tried Lesson 24, getting the LEDs to flash in a line. I briefly managed to have all the LEDs light up but in the end I could only manage to have 6 of the LEDs not all 7.

Hopefully I can work out what the problem is. I think it is to do with my wiring being a bit messy.
