Every once in awhile I will have trouble opening a thread with the android app. The latest one is "08m2 program download problem" The result is " Sorry! The application Picaxe forum( process. Com vbulletin. build_1101) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then has 2 boxes...

I have been using a 30w soldering iron it does the job but I feel that it could be better. Are there recommendations for soldering stations? Tip sizes I should have on hand? I have made a few Pickaxe based pcbs I have been doing through hole mounting and do not see myself doing any...

Can I program 14M on a 8M Proto board? I am using a proto board that I bought two years ago. I am using a Belkin usb to 9 pin converter that I have had good luck with two years ago downloading to an 8M but now I am having trouble with a 14M. Thanks

Also I revamped the schematic for more review and comment.

For review. The program works great. I was wondering how to keep it functioning the same but maybe clean up the code any hints would be great. #picaxe14m symbol UVLEDTop = 0 symbol LEDTop =1 symbol UVLEDBottom =2 symbol LEDBottom =3 symbol Motor = 4 symbol Buzzer = 5 Init: let b0 = 0...

When pushing a momentary contact button once for each of four routines and changing the variable b0 is it wiser to count or to add? at the end of the fourth press "alloff" I want variable b0 to =0 or reset to 0. Thanks, Doug H.

12volt DC to 5volt DC 7805? Will a 7805 reliably power a Picaxe? or should I add a heat sync? Thanks, Doug H.

I am trying to have one momentary push button with each push goto a new routine. push 1= buzz1 push 2= buzz2 push 3= buzz3 push 4= buzz4 Each routine will loop until the button is pressed again. I have searched "state machine" and have read through "setint""branch" and"select case" I cant...

I have spent hours reading old posts on this subject. I am using a 14m What I want to accomplish is: At power up all outputs low a momentary contact switch when pressed 1st time will make buzz1: outpin5 high pause 250 outpin5 low (Buzzer sounds once to notify witch mode I am in)...

Are there any six load with relays and one input boards premade on the market for a Picaxe chip? Thanks, Doug H.

I got in to the Picaxe world when I came accros the Instrutable "motorize you blinds for $15" http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-A-Motorized-Window-Blinds-Controller-For-Les/ So I am at the point that I have built the project (even built a board with Diptrace and toner transfered ect...)...

I lost the 100nf polyester capacitor. Do I need it or can I substitute some thing else?

I am new to the pickaxe world. I got in to it because my wife was making Roman shades for the house. (It has been cold in Maine and fuel costs are high. She said that it would be cool if she could make shades that either open from the top or the bottom. Agoogeling I wet and came across the...
