My wireless Xbox controller has a habit of turning off if I leave it too long, and online games kick you off if you idle too long, so I wired an 08m2 into it to 'press' a button every minute to stop the controller turning off and stop the game from kicking me out.
One small problem, I use 2x rechargeable AA's in the controller and first attempt at programming the 08m2 when powered from the controller didn't work, the batteries were reading 2.2v, I put some just charged ones in that gave out 2.8v and the 08m2 programmed fine.
I tried 2 different 08m2's and neither would program or run the code at 2.2v but worked fine at 2.8v.
I thought these chips were supposed to run as low as 1.8v? Why wouldn't it work?
