Posted by hippy Warm and (too) sticky at present, dry and often sunny, but the evenings are getting darker sooner and Autumn's approaching. That's 'not far north of London' anyway. Beers are still warm and the best in the world :-) I think a lot would depend on exactly how Safety Critical your product is going to be. The lack of guarantees on PICAXE firmware operation under all circumstances is only really a small part of the issue. It may be better to throw the discussion onto the PICAXE Forum where more people can give a perspective, and I'm also more likely to see the discussion over there. But that doesn't mean your posting here is not welcomed !
