Had something very weird happen this morning.
Been working on a Li-Ion charger with a 08M2 doing the control & monitoring (the cheap Chinese one went up in smoke - no surprise there then).
Finally completed it last night and left it charging a nearly flat 18650 cell and went to bed.
Quite a few sertxd's in the program used for development left in as they do no harm.
This morning, according to the LED's, charging had completed, switched on the PC (Windows7 Ultimate).
When boot up complete, the mouse cursor was jumping about all over the screen & clicking on icons, with lots of right clicking going on.
Oh No, I thought, PC has caught a cold (virus). Started unplugging leads & all returned to normal when AXE027 unplugged - Phew !.
It seems the regular (1second) sertxd "Trickle Charging" text & Battery Voltage readings made windows thiink the AXE027 was a mouse !!!.
I had left the programming lead connected to the 08M2 during PC bootup.
Never seen that effect before, but thought it worth noting should others see strange things happening after PC bootup.
