    Hi Harold,
    What kind of lighting is in the area you are working? Sometimes Fluorescent lights make unshielded PICs behave badly.
    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
    .
    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.

    I didn't know that. What kind of shielding? A metal enclosure?

    Hi Robert,
    I scrapped out a TV a Magnavox that had metal shields around it's CPU chips, they fit under and over them, only the pins were not shielded. Some forum members here have reported this problem in the past. I think breadboards would be esp. susceptible . . Remember RF crawls around on the surface whereas DC goes through a conductor.
