I have a static electricity issue with my latest project. I used a waterproof stainless steel momentary switch/button, this one, in my latest project (automated garden/coldframe) because it's outdoors. If I don't first touch the metal frame to discharge any static electricity in my body, touching the button will reset the PICAXE. The button is configured to pull the pin it's connected to low when pressed (I'm using the internal PICAXE pullup). The PICAXE PCB is in a plastic enclosure box so it's isolated from the metal frame. The button is in plywood so it's also isolated from the metal frame. The project is run off a 120VAC to 12VDC adapter. What should I do? Thanks.
