Drew/Folks, I'm very interested in this thread. I often make use of the 16C7X series with RC servos and have often observed the problems with noise and voltage drop when using them. I've also seen similar differences in tollerance between different members of the PIC family! So although I probably can't actually add any really useful information to the discussion I wouldreally like to find out what others do to fix the problem! Myself I've had some success by isolating the supply to the PIC via a diode and or resistor feeding a cap. But I'm not at all sure this is the best fix. One of the problems in this environment is that often the power supply is an RX battery pack which may only supply 4.8V which does not give a lot of room for manouver. So what do you guys do? I'm more of a software sort of person, and unfortunately this sort of problem is hard to fix in software (though most of my code does seem to have rather a lot of stuff to deal with processor resets! Wonder why...). Andy -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you. See http://www.piclist.com/#topics
