Subject: [alt-beam] Re: HELP ME:static and photovores...
I have rarely burned a chip from static, but many are very sensitive.
Just go to your local parts shack and buy an ESD wrist-strap, its a
conductive rubber wrist-strap with a 50k resistor in it. Hook it up to a
ground, like a pipe under your bathroom sink, or a rod driven 6-8 feet
in moist earth and you will be totally safe from static damage to your
parts.
P.S. I wouldnt advise using the ground wire from an electrical outlet..
