I suspect this is what happened to tgd8934's bad SX key. After reading your post I understand how this happens. If you plug the SX key into a hot header in a way that only three pins go into the key, or if a short in your circuit puts Vdd onto the oscillator pin it fries the internal clock and debug mode becomes deadbug mode. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=102421#m103649 Need assistance?
