Need an attention getter? or into model trains? Here is a simple dual alternating flasher XC8 code for the PIC10F322.

The LEDs are hooked up to Port.A0 and Port.A1.

When power is applied the LEDs will alternate on and off. The default value in the code is set to one second. You can change this by updating the #define DELAY_TIME 1000 value. The delay macro uses ms, so to get 1 second 1000 is needed. Change 1000 to the value you want.
