Hi, I'm trying to use the counter timer to count a pulse which lasts for about thirty minutes. I simulated my circuit with vsm and it works fine but the counter timer instrument only counts up to 100 secs. Can I change its range and what does the CLK pin do? I can't find anything in the...

Ok I'm new to VSM and am having no end of trouble with it. It seems to be performing really oddly. I must be doing something wrong so I tried a very simple circuit which still does'nt function properly. The code works fine in the picaxe programming editor. But fails somehow in the VSM. It...

I would be very grateful for some help. I want to build a circuit that will read heartbeats per minute and feed the average rate per minute to a a set of three seven segment displays. Now although I have a background in electrical engineering I am very new to picaxe work. So for the moment...

Dr Acula has a really great introduction to controlling devices in an instructibles article http://www.instructables.com/id/Control-real-world-devices-with-your-PC/ and I am working through this. I want to do the same thing but use liberty basic rather than visual basic at the pc end. Liberty...

Hi I'm working through the tutorial axe050 using the picaxe 18 tutorial board and trying to understand what the code is doing. However there seems to be no circuit diagram for the board so it is difficult to figure out what the code is doing in terms of picaxe pins and connected hardware on...

Can anyone tell me whether the picaxe chip can be used to control an spi bus? Many thanks if anyone can explain the details - doing feasability at the moment and don't even understand the spi methodology properly yet but think I will need it for my project  

I want to program a display board like the moving LED ones you see around. How easy is it to do this - can you buy ready made ones that picaxe will port to? Don't know where to start on this one please can anyone help?

Can anyone please tell me before I buy it if David Bolton's "Programming & Customizing the PICAXE Microcontroller" works in assembler or picaxe BASIC or both? Many thanks

Please can anyone help me ? Am I understanding this correctly? I see that there is available a serial PIC programmer (BAS800) which can be used to program the normal PIC range of controllers. Can you program these using the standard basic supplied for picaxe? The PIC microcontrollers don't...

Although I am a teacher wanting to use Picaxe in my school I think I might be able to use the system for commercial projects too. Can I program a chip for embedding and sell the system. Are there any restrictions on me doing this
