Hi，

I downloaded Aurora 9×18 program, but I’m at compile time, always being given as follows（Too much, I picked up two）：

../aurora_main.s:118: Error: Expected constant expression for size argument.

../aurora_main.s:193: Check operand #2. Operand must be between 0 and 15, inclusive.
../aurora_main.s:204: Error: Invalid operands specified (‘bset INTCON1,#NSTDIS’).

Can you tell me what you build environment is not it?

My compiler environment is MPLAB X IDE 3.26，XC16-1.24
I also tried MPLAB IDE 8.88，8.80，8.70，8.60，8.50

They all does not work！！

Thanks！

Your projects are a great inspiration and i check your page regularly to see what new colourfull artwork you realised.
You must be very talented to combine art with technology in such an elegant way. Translating an idea in a clear, simplified electronic design, implement the time and resource-critical embedded software, assemble pcb’s, make fantastic video’s and put it all on a website.
A one-man football team ! :)

Succes with your work !

Thank you very much for your comments.
I just design PCB pretty much like everyone else. I love taking time to route traces just right to my eyes.

While I mostly do not understand the internal workings of the circuitry besides the basics, I do absolutely love assembling and watching circuits that perform magic with LED’s. Hence why I just had to order a couple of your products. :) I am curious to know how you manufacture such beautiful PCB’s though?

I know international shipping is expensive… Amazon might be something that I should look into.
I can use reseller in Europe… Anyone?

shipping costs to United Kingdom is more costly than the Colour Changing Night Joule Thief. Could i buy the kit on say Amazon or a from an outlet in the UK ?

Yeah Osmond is nice, but I miss the ability to capture schematics sometimes. It crashes a bit too often too…

I learned pretty much all from books and application notes. One great thing about Microchip is that they have a lot of great app notes.

I studied the vary basics like Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s laws at high school (Japanese education system is different), but nothing like transistor, etc. However we assembled radio kits etc. at school too.

On the software side, I’ve been a professional programmer for some time, so picking up a new language was not a big challenge. However microcontroller firmware tend to be timing sensitive, so it took some time to get better at optimizing things.

Just keep tinkering and you will learn…

Yes I do actually, it actually is my favorite CAD/PCB tool, very nice and cleanly set up, eagle was a pain for me to use. Osmond is very… Linear and easy to use in my opinion.

Where did you learn all you stuff about ICs and curcuits? I read that you were self taught for most of your stuff, as am I, I am just looking for ways to further my knowledge.
