The excrement has impacted by AndyA 2005-03-22 19:06:01
upon the rotary air circulation device.

I've spent the last two days trying to track down the cause of a unit dependent, temperature dependent lockup in the new product.
It's a little hard to probe electronics when it has to be at -20 to cause the problem.
Since 1) the product is due to launch in a month and 2) I'm the only EE on the project this has been rather high priority.

Finally tracked it down, good news: Turns out that it's nothing to do with my design. Bad news: Looks like it's a total FUBAR inside the CPU we are using.
