Hi,
I'm using two PIC12F629A with two receivers of my RF module and they worked fine a few days ago. Yesterday, I tested them again (without reprogramming them) with the RF module, they didn't work, both the PIC's!!! That IC has only 8 pins, so I'm sure the connection is correct. And I found that the PIC is getting hot.
Then I remove from the breadboard and reprogrammed it (with the same .hex file) and plug into the same hole of the breadboard, then one worked and the other PIC is burned.
How come this can happen? Has anyone had this problem too?
EDIT: Before they're reprogrammed, the ammeter from the PSU showed 1 A when it is turned on, then I quickly turned it off and removed the RF module, turned it on again, the current was still 1 A. So that must be the PIC's problem. It is okay after being reprogrammed.
Thanks
