that's i've got.  when try compile, gives me error:

code: [select]

in function 'void loop()':
error: expected primary-expression before ']' token in function 'void hc259_send_data()':
in function 'void hc259_set_address(int)':

what heck mean?  as far experience c/c++ , php has shown me, i've done correct.  did make stupid beginner mistake, or limitation of arduino wasn't aware of?

thanks!

code: [select]

hc259_address[] = {0,0,0} [glow]  [/glow]

code: [select]

hc259_data[] = {0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1};

i've done correct

hmmm.

is limitation of arduino wasn't aware of?

no, that's lack of understanding of c/c++.
