I just want to point out the mcd rating is light per unit area at a certain distance. So taking the same LED and focusing it more can drastically increase the mcd rating. This is why "superbright" LEDs have such a narrow viewing angle.

The LEDs on this project look like they have a translucent package so they'd be very diffuse (which is what you'd want for this project). But how can it have such a high mcd rating?

@Phil - come on, that last comment was very offensive to a lot of people.

Yo to The O:

As a confirmed comments crawler, I am familiar with your "on probation" status.

But I do agree. That is an incredibly insulting comment. Maybe honest and sincere from the writer, but having no merit here.

also... '@PT' is preferable to '@Phil'- often diminutive forms of a person's name irritate them on a basic level, especially when they always seem to use their full name. Jes sayin...

@volkemon - I have never meant any offense to Phillip by saying @Phil. If he ever took it in any condescending way I very sincerely apologize and I hope he will reply and clarify.

As far as the on probation status, it's easy enough to use a different name, I don't even have an account, and I log in from so many different place (and have dynamic IP's), that I doubt it's really possible to block someone.

I am behaving and continuing to post under "The Oracle" rather than hiding under a new alias out of genuine respect for PT, not fear of the probation.

As for the original topic, I've never insulted anybody's race or culture, and that comment is way over the line.

Oh wow, I completely apologize for duplicating the first line in the title. I don't comment a lot and didn't realize how annoying that would be. Please don't take offense; I'll try not to do it again.

I've tried twice today to email the author (without success), is there any chance of anyone posting the (compiled) HEX file? The source is there on his site, but for a beginner like me it's a bit complicated compiling it.

I've had a reply from the author, he says he will email the HEX file to me. I guess it's worth emailing and asking for the file if you need it. I would post it here, but I'm not sure that would be fair or proper.

After some reading and installing of compilers, I got the code to compile using mikroC and it works well. I did not need to take-up the author's offer to send his HEX file to me.
