Re: Failure of Pics.



Electrons have mass. You're spinning it fast enough that they centrifuge
out of the flash ROM.

we have some control electronics that employ pics in an industrial
environment.
The other day we found out something interesting, we installed
a mini board with a pic, on a rotating item of a machine.
made sure everything was secure etc. this unit does spin kind of
fast. mostly made from Aluminum and employs slip rings to supply
the hub with its power and signal return.


for what ever reason, after a few hours of spinning, the PIC
gets corrupted software and has to be reloaded.

We are still looking at the reason why. We almost think the movement
is causing some electrical field generation that is effecting the pic.
