You are the MAN, Pete! I can't tell you how impressed I am with your willingness to modify a circuit like this just for me. Now, if I may be so bold as to ask one more favor, could you send me the files that you had to modify? Two reasons, #1 is so I can re-compile them using the data sequences I have already changed to suit me. (I eliminated a few I didn't need, and "tweeked" the others to give me the best look with the LEDs I'm using. I use the straw-hat LEDs for the beacon, it really looks good!) #2 reason is to study the code and see if I can understand what's happening. I have absolutely no formal training in electronics, no classes, no tutor, nothing, all I have ever had is what I can pick up by reading, looking at other people's code, and experimenting with it. I'll change something sometimes just to see if it works, and even if it doesn't I usually learn something by what is different, what changed. Anyway, if I could look at the code I think it would help me just to understand how all the .INC files work together to make the program work. I've never really seen a program for the 675/629 that uses so many clever ways to do so much at once, and I want to learn how you meshed them together to do it. It's without a doubt one of the most clever uses of the chip's capabilities I've ever seen, you should be quite proud of it!
Thanks so much, Pete. If I can ever help you out with anything (yeah,right!), just whistle. I owe you big time. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to you.
