While trying out my new do wop code for a static LCD driver, I couldn't work out why I was getting a nice sine wave instead of the expected square wave on the 'scope, then a strange hot smell the source traced when I put my hand on my poor beloved 16F877 by mistake. I'd put it on the board back to front. Thinking it may now be beyond help, I switched off, put the poor darling the right way around AND it worked! 2 Hours later though, a couple of output drivers no longer work. So obviously the thing to do is to rewrite the code to exclude the outputs no longer working. What do you mean buy a new pic? Thought it would be to good to be true. Still at least I know how to make sine waves without LUT's or D2A converters.
