Fellows and Gals - It's static season here, had a customer complain about a PIC based product acting strangely - I *think* it's due to static damage. He purchased a replacement PIC, I included some small (180 ohm) series resistors for a couple of inputs - also a 1n4148 diode to attach, reversed biased, between the programming voltage pin (pin 4 on an 8 pin PIC) and VDD. Just wondering if there are any other tips or tricks I might suggest to him to help prevent static damage ?
