Hi all,
Has anyone else had problems with 16f628 chips. I am building a small
project that located in another part of the house from my programmer. Both
rooms are located in a carpeted basement, after making about 5 trips from
programmer to target board the chip would not program anymore. I wasn't
extremely careful in regards to avoiding static discharge other than
grounding myself before removing the chip and again before programming it.
After the first chip went defective I was much more careful, transporting
the new chip in conductive foam. Even with this precaution 2 more chips
are no longer responding in the programmer. Is it just me or are these
chips super sensitive?
