Hi All,

So much has happened in the last week or so...
In typical fashion, the customer (my company on this occasion) has requested "additional functions" to be included which are above and beyond the original scope of work. The degree of modification has required a complete re-design.
I won't bore you with the trivial details but the system now requires three separate LED flash sequences AND an auto function to scroll through the three stand-alone sequences.
No - problems, just more time and code...

I have now moved to a PIC16F1503. I would still like to use some sort of random number generation routine to achieve a random display flash rate between the thirty two individual PIC's without having to separately programming them. I could take the easy way out and do it manually but I like the idea of coming up with something eloquent

Here is my thought:
I can use my MeLabs programmer to generate a unique serial number for each PIC that I program. I understand this is a straight forward process. I would like to my program to read this unique serial number and use it as the seed for the random number generation source.

Here is my question:
Can is this concept be taken to a reality or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Barry
