Hello guys,
I am using a PICAXE 08M to control a motor, but for some reason even when not connected to anything (when testing it by itself) the pic's output turns on and off a fair few times before it settles down. So when I have it blank it will just turn on and off a few times and then it will be OFF.
When I actually program it, it'll do the same, but then do what it's supposed to do...
I dont understand why it initially behaves in what seems to be non-random behaviour (it seems to always turn on and off 6 times) ? I know that it may be noise, but I did try to put a 0.1uF cap between the power pins, but still the same happens...
any ideas?
