> Try to remake all the solder joints, I can't think of anything else. Whole thing currently resides on breadboard. No soldering involved. I'm 100% sure that the problem is NOT in 'bad contact'. I think that Russell pointed into right direction - hand capacitance comes into play. I have quite long (1 meter) power (5 volts) wires to breadboard. Maybe this has something to do with it?
