·What is the best way to eliminate static? A wrist-strap connected to the Boe -Bot?
I searched the posts and manually looked thru them.
I have a Boe- Bot and have a problem with static discharging when I touch it.
This did not happen at l until I started the experiments with it running on the floor.

    Hello,

    ·· I think the problem is that you need to be static free.· Not the BOE-Bot...When the BOE-Bot is plugged into the serial cable, it should be grounded.· If you ground it, and you are charged, you will discharge into it.· Which will not help you.
