While we have about many departments working to build thees window the animation department is responsible for anything that moves needs to welded or light up. Traditionally every thing was built with a complex series custom levers pulleys chains, And time delay relays. As the customers demand more and more advance technology. They had a few near disasters, so the decided to hire a electronics guy. Some how I convinced themI had the skills or at least work cheap. My back ground leans much more to RF stuff and not MCUs and such. They were already using BS1/2s and EFX-TECH products. I had a passing knowledge with then and suited 90% of our needs perfectly. This year we had Had a few complicated requests . I decided we would have to use PCs or sx chips. They went with the sx chips. I may have gotten in over my head. But all is well I had the Parallax forums . While I did ask A few silly direct questions which were answered swiftly, I learned most everything I needed to now by going the what seems to be ever post . It turned out every time I did know something Bean and/or JonnyMac did and had written a post with all the info I needed. In sort Thanks everyone . PS.

The damn thing work for a long time so I did not catch it until I changed a Line of code else were in the program and it stopped working . I was some swearing for awhile until I figured that out.
