I never had a problem" etc, ok great but why take a chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbit Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 The bad part of static electricity hitting these devices is that in most cases where boards have been damaged by it the logic on the damaged chips "changes". It might appear to work but then weird things start occurring. I always store boards in anti static bags and take pictures of them on top of the bag if I am selling them. I wouldn't bid on this auction for at all personally after seeing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanxp300 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I only take pictures of my sensitive electronics inside a metal bucket full of water sitting on top of a pile of Neodymium magnets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good bag has anti static properties on both the inside and the outside of the bag's film construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO2 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I like the remote case. I see the plans are on thingiverse.com. Never ordered a 3D print before. Anybody have any experience / advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have any experience / advice? Download the STL, upload it to www.makexyz.com and pay for it Edited January 8, 2018 by eightbit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
