 		 #171966 - Document your code
Responding to: ???'s previous message
How about you start by upgrading your code with some comments.

Then repost the now well-documented code using proper formatting - see the button "Insert Program Code".

By the way - any reason why you like your symbols so short that you desperately needs comments just to know what the symbol means? In what way do you think WFW is a good symbol name?

Isn't it likely that your lack of comments and proper symbol names makes you stumble on your own code - you see random text but you do not see exactly what the code is doing?

Another thing - have you tried to take a pen and paper and hand-step through your code, while documenting the state of the I/O pins of the processor? Does the single-stepping match the logic required the the 74HC165?
