Zapping

We now have a zapper at the factory. Similar in strength to a static shock you would feel in normal daily life, perhaps a little stronger. Voltmeter measures 1200-1800 v. The standard MA vision screener gets a reaction on the computer screen although it does not lose communication.

We tried it with another screener with the Ben-Board, which has a modified USB. It does not register on the computer screen. The Ben-Board has never been used in production and has not been thoroughly tested. It would need a month or more of testing.

Would the L1 program need to be changed to work with this board? How would we determine if this solution would work? Can all failures to communicate be blamed on ESD?
