here is a GREAT looking candle flicker

I toyed with several different things but after playing with RandomVal the code works very well. It simulates a real candle flicker. changing the subtraction value from RandomVal will alter the effect. I had -5 for the red_duty but changed to 25. looks better. I left all the orginal code but added /...

include is there??

the include files are declared in the beginning?
Include "IntOSC8.bas"
Include "RandGen.bas"

should they be located elsewhere??
like after the DIM statements??
I have tried several different ways to get ms as a 3 part variable but havn't got it right.
could be the include is in wrong place??

trying to make a string (variable?) I am new to this programing. I want to use ms(2) (3 elements) than denote the LED color In the program ms is incremented then decremented. The code I have posted will turn on all 3 LEDs and using the PWM they start out dim until full brightness then dim to off I w...

I made several changes as I only need 2 timers. end result I am after is a 20 minute low time then a short high, 20 minute low // 18F1320@ 8MHz - they are just used here for clarity... Device = 18F1320 Clock = 8 Include "ISRTimer.bas" in...
