Finally! The MC works!
After a series of failures we finally got the atmel 8515 microcontroller do our biddings! ;)
It always worked with the assembly code but it never worked with the C code we compiled on AVR-GCC. I really wish it offered a delay function... we'd not have wasted weeks because of the stupid delay problem. Its a 8 MIPS RISC processor and we were hoping to create a second long delay with an empty loop of just 50K! Thats horrendous! Well, we got to learn a lot in the process!
The MC works and I'm a guru of C code! The world is mine now! Watch out!
By the way, this year we're working on a microcontroller based SNAKE game. A panel of 128 LEDs controlled by the microcontroller through an intermediate storage logic built on latches and buffers. I'll post the URL to the indepth report when we've completed it.

Nice work! I wish I would do stuff like that, but I got myself tied into too much administrative BS.
