 		 #133292 - Effect of relay
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Caslav Nedeljkovic said:
Aside the fact that you have RLY active you should not influence mC operation in any other way by pressing SW1

Remember, a relay coil is a great big solenoid; an inductor - so switching it on and off causes big spikes on the supply, and probably also radiated emissions, too.

As Patrick says, that would be the first thing to suspect:

Of course, if the relay is actually switching some load (not shown) that could also be generating disturbances...

         Isn't it called EMI?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Sure - radiated and conducted            01/01/70 00:00      
               Ok, thought so :)            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Maybe it's a test?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Not very kind to operator :)            01/01/70 00:00      
         A diode helps.            01/01/70 00:00

      I'll build in some random delay next time :-)            01/01/70 00:00      
   the solution will be here            01/01/70 00:00      
   I'm puzzled            01/01/70 00:00      
      It damps out the relay voltage spikes?            01/01/70 00:00      
         not much, if any - 33pF?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Should be a printing error.            01/01/70 00:00      
   let's focus            01/01/70 00:00      
      Of course it is possible.            01/01/70 00:00      
      why focus            01/01/70 00:00      
         because......            01/01/70 00:00      
            Part more susceptable to EMI?            01/01/70 00:00
