random function is not generating random numbers

[5hu5ky]

random function is not generating random numbers.

For example:

...
print("Random Value: ", atecc.random(rnd_min=200, rnd_max=1000024))
...

always returns 2040

...
print("Random Value: ", atecc.random(rnd_min=0, rnd_max=1024))
...

always returns 1016

Tested on a RPi 3B v1.2 using 3.3v

@5hu5ky I've seen the exact same behavior. Locking the chip started generating new random numbers, though it's created some other issues(CRC mismatch, can't find device) I'm still digging though.

@AdamCummick - thanks for the tip on locking the chip. I will try that as well...

I am noticing same issue. Chip only generates 40 or 2040.

I've noticed the same behavior with the same exact value being set as the random value. I figured out the CRC Mismatch issue is due to too high of a wake frequency clock. You can manually set the frequency to 75000 and it will work.
