Hi All,
I've seen a few comments around the web that say the picaxe SERIN pin can be tied to GND to ensure the picaxe operates efficiently and doesn't randomly reboot or pause etc. (assuming the project has no further need to be re-programmed).
In all my projects, i've simply replaced the typical 10k/22k resistors on the SERIN jack, with a single 33k pulldown resistor to keep the picaxe running fine and it works perfectly everytime. (i do this after i have no further need to program the picaxe in my final projects).
So, has it been proven that the SERIN pin can safely be tied directly to GND and not use a pulldown 33k resistor at all???
Thanks in advance.
