Hi, I am new to picaxe and hope to solve a puzzle.
I have been following and making the following project - http://diyphotography.net/create-an-automated-macro-rails-for-image-stacking.
I have followed the instructions to the letter but it still doesn't want to play ball.
Firstly, even after checking the motor wires for the correct sequence, it didn't run.
I eventually got the motor to run and controlled with the remote, but the optocoupler didn't fire my camera?
Now the motor has stopped running again, it just sits there buzzing.
The only things different to the parts used is I am using the Y129-5 ASTROSYN motor and IR receiver from tech supplies.
I hope you can help as it is getting very frustrating as I can't see where I have gone wrong. I am a multi skilled engineer and am adept with wiring, soldering, drawings and the like, just the programming part is a mystery to me, the code I used has just been copied and pasted from the link, but I have done a syntax check and simulation and they come up with no errors.
Cheers in advance.
Stewart
