Hi all... I'm not sure what is causing the brownout on my pic but it is most likely a design flaw of my circuit. I'll start by: The brownout is tripped when the pic senses a voltage drop that could affect it correct? I am using 2 pins on the pic to trip these 2 reed relays, I have the relays going to +5vdc on one side and to the porta.2 and porta.5. I do not have any pull up resistors or anything else wired into the relays. When I want to trip the relays I set the appropriate port to 0, porta.2=0 when I am ready to shut the relay off I set porta.2=1 every once in a while when I shut the relays off the device just reboots. I am guessing this is the brownout event taking place. I realize I am not laying out my entire circuit here but I thought I would start with this just to see if anyone has any suggestions on what I might check or look for to try and troubleshoot this. If anyone has any ideas on what to check or suggestions I would appreciate it.
Thanks
David
