Did anyone else notice this? Start here... Anyone?
Frits, if there is one thing that pic chips don't like, it is static! You know those silly wrist straps? So why, why in the world, would you take pictures of all your parts for the start here bot on top of styrofoam?!?!?!?
I personally can not think of a more static-friendly item then styrofoam. Why are you leading our LMR kids on the wrong path?
So true. Kinda a delayed So true. Kinda a delayed reaction to such a old post :P. It would be best to say "keep parts away from styrofoam!" on the start here post.
Same here! I’ve got a few chips, but it seems more compact or something different from “normal” stryofoam you find in like TV boxes and VCR’s, stuff like that. I haven’t had any problems that I know of (so far) and they’re all still stored on it, I only use it every so often… so it’s less likely I’d have problems.
OH No Sir. He surely Scraped it. Type "Clean Navigation Using IR" in the search bar. Then go to the second page and read the "Chicken Farmer Woot" paragraph. Then decide for yourself if he Scraped it or Scrapped it. Here is the quote below.
"You will be pleased to know that I have scraped the old code and have started from scratch."
Just poking you, Frits And you are very right, frits… These picaxe’s are pretty iindestrutable. I fried one when I shoved 14.4v into an input pin but in realitly, I later found I just fried that one pin! The rest of the chip worked great.
I’m not as daring as you, I’m not as daring as you, but I’ve run mine off of 6v without an issue…never gets hot, only issue I’d suspect would be the internal osc might be a little touchy.
