You're right, I didn't include the timer itself counting to 256, so
it should be slow enough.  I don't think you've mentioned what you
see, but I'll guess all the lights are off.

You said you'd tried a simple program first, that made the lights on
portc flash.  If you didn't use that code to start writing this program
then maybe you should take a copy of your code and just get it to
flash the lights first.  Then add the timer stuff back in.
