That's it Andy!! I see! It's an interesting gimmick - but I find it hard to think of a worse way to come up with an unreadable display! But I guess that's not the point...?! So, you mean to repeat a random until find sum of "ones" is equal the number I want? I guess you could do that. Also, the number is a 9bit number, because there are 9 LEDs, A guess you could say that, but I'm not sure if it's really helpful - just think of it as a 9-bit pattern with no particular numeric significance. A bit like the pattern of bits used to drive the segments of a 7-segment display doesn't really have any particular numeric significance in itself. never seen (so far) a code to generate 9bit random number Of course you have - it's just a "random" (sic?) number generator with a range of 0-511!! or do you mean ramdomizing each bit sequencially counting the "ones"? Yes, that was more the kind of thing I had in mind! Might also be worh thinking about lookup tables...? |

| Yes! Thats it! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
