As with anything new, there is a slight learning curve..GOD, Ron - that's beautiful! Even though it's not a billion lights like the "Disco Prize" I've unfortuanately seen one Botany Enterprise become, but this is so great to see lights - especially ones that chase sequentially.
I played around with it and wrote a program.. it didn't work. I tried several times.. then finally, I found a "known good" program that supposedly worked... and it still didn't. At any rate, after two days of playing around..and total frustration, I had an idea. Finally I had a break through! It turned out that I didn't have some configuration stuff set properly.. kinda tricky stuff in the beginning.. think I got licked now.. well, until I try some new tricks..
Anyway, I wrote a test program just to make sure things were working.. anyway, all it does is more or less a one way Cylon effect or Knight rider effect??? They start all on and one by one all go off.. and then they all come back at once and start all over again....
