Hi
Has anyone had intermittent problems with their serial RFID? Can someone look on theirs and tell me if there are and pins birdged by solder on the PIC chip. Mine has a bridge on the chip opposite side of the GND pin. Not sure if this is design or a wave solder bridge that should not be there.
Thanks....

    It's not normal to have bridging between two pins of any chip. If there's to be a connection, it's on the printed circuit board and each of the pins should be individually soldered to the board. I'd call Parallax Tech Support on Monday and they'll probably have you return the board for replacement.

    Thanks For the quick replys. That link shows exactly what is on my board. I will assume that the problem lies else where. RF or Low voltage. As for the Tech Support, there the best. Had one issue before, very impressed.
