Re: The 8.2 (or 8.3) Battery Voltage Bug

I have some information that may be relevant. There is a problem with the silicon in the PIC chip that involves the interrupts not properly restoring register values upon return. I'm not sure if this could cause the problems you're all reporting, but the possibility exists - it may be this problem that the new libraries are supposed to fix.

You can read about this and other errors in the silicon of this line of chips here: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/e...doc/80221b.pdf
