Well the carpet is one thing. Even if you just walked the room and returned back to you chair (even worse if it has suspension), then you may well have charged enough to destroy the chips.
I "like" the 16F1937, but I have no allegiance towards it (I only have 15 on hand, I'll keep them for "something else"). :D I'm starting the slow/annoying process of choosing another PIC, with...
Since the output on that specific chip will remain as driven output, and if you insist on using this, a crapy solution maybe to add a diode at the output before the pin is connected to the bus.

Re: SOLVED - PIC seems to RESET unless I add a PAUSE in Mainloop
Normally Watchdog is reset within the code PBP produces.
Ioannis Today, 14:00But why it does not in the case of 16F18877 seems strange. Maybe it is not controlled correctly?
