Gents I've just made a complete horses a.$e of a little project I've built, and was wondering if I could possibly rectify the problem in software before I modify the PCB.It's a simple little I/O board serially connected to a PC using an 18M2 with some of its pins set as inputs and some as...

Hi Gents (and ladies if there are any) I feel a bit silly asking this. I'm mucking around with a bit of code where a lot of variables are "OR"ed together: i.e. if A<>B or C<>D or E<>F or G<>H .......blah, blah then..... This however gives me a very long single horizontal line of "OR"s...

Hi I hope the moderators can forgive me as this isn't Picaxe related, but I'm hopeing for a little assistance from the good folk on the forum. My Geovision CCTV card (http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/Prod_GV1240A.asp) has developed a fault and is well out of warranty. The culprit is U4...

Hi all Can anybody tell me if there is a simpler way to write the code for this: b1=100 Read in ADCvalue If ADCvalue = b1 +/- 10 then ..... A sort of " Yip were somewhere inbetween 90 and 110 which is close enough, so let get on with it" statement. I find I'm using a good few lines to do it...

Hi All I don't know if it will interest anyone, but I've just been into my local Morrisons (UK supermarket) and they are selling these for £5. http://www.amazon.co.uk/EcoSaver-Ecosavers-remote-controlled-sockets/dp/B001FTNENU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_2 You can get the remote and one socket for £2...

Hi All I've been mucking around with a 40x2 trying to get it to do background serial receive, and failing miserably. All I have at the moment is an 08M sending out "12345678" and "ABCDEFGH" alternately every 5 seconds into the Hserin pin C.7 of the 40x2, and the output C.6 sending the data to...

Hi Gents I've been looking at this for hours and could do with another pair of eyes because I'm starting to disappear up my own b**. Below is the code for a project I've started building to control the position of two linear actuators, Angle and Slew. Very basically: Pin B.7 being high or low...

Hi all As you will notice from my post count I'm more of a lurker than a poster. Usually I can trawl through the forum and find a solution to my Picaxe woe's. But in this case I'm stumped and I come grovelling to you for some assitance. I've been building a simple pulse counter which sends the...
