The basis of my comments were drawn from the generator action theory. In defence of my posts...I did say "If the magnet being used moves at all while installed, (movement would be necessary)." So there....at least I'm a little right......HA
jgedde, I bow to your wisdom. Although I was fully aware of the possible induced voltage caused by the traces of the board cutting the lines of magnetic force. The magnitude of that induced voltage simply can't be determined with accuracy. Furthermore I'm not an authority on the robustness(?) of IC's. So, I sound the bell warning people of the possibility of side affects.
Thank you for chiming in. I'm sure you have made some people very happy with your expertise.
