    To save long-term embarrassment for various parties involved, I have pruned this thread - if you don't like it well that's just tough!

    Congratulations to Magu for accomplishing a difficult project fraught with obsticles. Commiserations for not getting a decent mark for it - you desrve better for your perseverence.

    Congrats too for Trent for posting such a complex project.

    And Luciano - well, you're an Angel...

    You make the board, you buy the bits, you stick it all together, you write your program, you waste a chunk of your life... why?

    Can anyone beat the equivallent of $35?

    PS ... I remember having seen that about µChip 16Bits Contest adds << If you want to have your name in the magazines ... etc,etc >>

    may be a possible answer ???

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    Post The UK - a bargain hunters delight?

    Starting to think that things are really cheap in the UK. The publisher of the EPE magazine offered me the frightful petty sum of 50 pound per project. Apparently, in the UK, you can buy a Mitsubishi 3000GT (in top condition) for about 3,500 pound . In Australia, you can pick one up in mediocre condition for about $25K The UK - a bargain hunters delight?

    Yes, "Aliens" like myself do tend to think a bit differently. Apparently, if I stand on my head and drink a glass of water at exactly midnight, I begin to levitate in a diagonal direction, eventually reaching an altitude of around 25,000 miles before I start to turn green.

    Don't ask me how i get back down, believe me you don't want to know.

    Minimum order of $50, meaning you have to buy 3, plus shipping, gets you $61.50USD total.
    Still it only comes out to $20.50 each.

    I'm actually abandoning all thoughts of doing a KIT for this project. My cost price (based on a quantity of 100 pcs) works out to be around AUS $75. Add a margin of profit to this, plus shipping - no one is going to be interested. I pushed pretty hard for some good prices on the components too.

    Default a little problem...

    so i start testing magu's project and sometimes, when i program the message to the eeprom, it starts scrolling from 2 places at the same time: right and center, with the same text. The reset and program buttons have already been pressed, the led indicator stays lit and blinks as normal... I saw that only a power off for several hours or a reprogramming of the pic solves the problem. Is this normal? The pic programmer can be found herehttp://www.adelaida.ro/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=525&osCsid=d 2b14521643163ea5ce594e52ff9388a
