I can't imagine what might be "wrong" or different - but the SX-chip quickly heats up and the program inside doesn't start should I use a 12-volt supply by misteak. My own SX's get only 5.1 volts from a 7805 regulator at the start of the circuit... Why is the SX-Tech board different ? Is there something that I should be aware of that would affect the operation of things that I build ? thanks. tommy ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=190625 Need assistance?
