There's a reason why I gathered you all here today...

I have to hand it to Jerson. The BrownOutTimer killed my resetting problem.
Also, props to Darrel for bringing up the Status bits. That was going to be my next step.

Virtual Beers all around!

Now What!?!
I plan on placing snubbers on all my relays, like you suggest. OR, might get into SolidState relays. One question on those: how do they know when the zero cross happens?? is this some kind of smart realay?

I'll be interested to test if the snubbers solve the problem if I enable the BOR, but if everything is working appropriately, is there any issue with running the 'F88 with its BOR disabled? I'm running with INTRC... does that make a difference?

I'm not too concerned about having a rock solid clock... my serial out is only to an LCD screen.

I've used this forum as a searchable database for about a year. Now I'm the one who gets to say: Thanks for the help! Responses are fast, reliable, and well considered... and you guys really saved my bacon on this one. today was THE day my control circuit HAD to work for a meeting. order another round!
