If you've built your tree and it works perfectly but doesn't like to stay off (i.e. you press the power button, it shows the power down sequence, goes dark and then a short time later it turns back on) it is because we made a mistake with a few of the 16F685 PICs that is fixable. Apparently I made a small batch of them with the watchdog timer enabled and missed it in testing. There are two remedies for this...
- If you can program the pic yourself, just download the code and re-burn it (making sure the watchdog timer is disabled)
- Contact us and we will happily swap out the pic for one with the watchdog disabled.
