TK. Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Mike burned another PIC18F4620 and sent me the .hex file - it is complete. He will take special care on the next deliveries (second verify), so that this (hopefully) doesn't happen again. The reason for the failure is still unknown, but it wasn't Mike's fault.Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjproc Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 That's even greater!! I guess we can blame (as stryd_one earlier suggested) the customs....Hmmmm.... Are you guys getting these shipped through Customs perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashtv Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I guess we can blame (as stryd_one earlier suggested) the customs....umm.... No. If this were some kind of radiation/scanning scramble it would kill the whole thing, not just one chunk.It's easy to make WinPic800 miss a block and still report a good burn, anything that steals enough cycles (like an HP printer driver) will do it. Another nail in the coffin for the radiation theory: I would be getting reports of DOA PICs, which I'm not. Even during the various anthrax mail scares here in the US (where they were dosing lots of mail with enough radiation to kill anything biological) no scrambled chips, even when the parcel was known to have been irradiated.Scratch radiation off the suspect list, and write 'Wintendo' in its place. ;)BestSmashTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
