Hello again having troubles with I2C..... YES 4k7 PULLUP resistors are in place on the I2C lines SCL and SDA. I am using the 24LC256 EEPROM from Techsupplies. I had it working on a 20X2 a while ago, but took me several hours to get working. Now I have spent several hours trying to get...

Hello again! I had a search on the forum but couldn't find anything 'dumb' enough for me to understand :P I bought this module a while ago. http://81.134.141.187/epages/Store.storefront/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Store.TechSupplies/Products/GPS001 Finally got myself a 3.3v regulator and have rigged...

Hello again... I2C... I think this is perfect for my needs - the BootI2C command - for uploading programs into the spare '#slot's on the picaxe 20x2. I was looking at a couple products on the techsupplies website - but not sure what to get in order to achieve this? The goal is to have the...

I couldn't find any information on the WWW so I thought I might go directly to the ppl in charge.... What speed does the PICAXE execute commands? i.e how long does it take? I am basically trying to make a timer without an RTC. .. comp: w5 = w5 + 1 readadc 2,b2 if b2 <= 254 then goto data...

Hi people. I unfortunately blew up my last 40X2 chip before being able to test it... a couple questions: 1) According to Mr. Swan's table, the 40X2 can configure every pin as an OP or an IP is this true? if not then 2) Which pins are able to be set to OP? my version of proggy editor...

HiYa I met up with NZ PICAXE Andrew Hornblow on Thursday (30 April) and he showed some screenshots of, what looks like an awesome, computer program called StampDAQ... Has anybody used this program? Am I correct that its a datalogging system straight into excel isnt it? I'm creating a bit of...

Hey All, I have been working on this little PICAXE robot.... Involves a Tamiya Left/Right independant gearbox, a PICAXE 08M, 4x BC337 and 4x BC327 Transistors, some LEDs and a 3xAA switch battery box. I custom built an Acrylic plate to mount everything on.. Photos...

Hi all, Need some help with getting serrxd to work.... current program in a 20x2 is: main: disconnect serrxd [1000, main2],#b1 poke b50, b1 reconnect main2: peek b50,b1 sertxd (#b1,13,10) Goto main i enter in b1 = 5 into the terminal window and it just tells me that b1 = 1...

there is no way the 20x2 can be speed up with external resonators? I cannot decipher the manual with this. Is the max. speed 64MHz and that is only internal??

okay... i got the GLCD this morning, and was having a play. when it stopped working, I managed to get text, and then when trying to get a line based on a variable it stopped. All i can do now is get a boarder and the backlight, based on the serial commands. I havent tried anything since...

Can i change variable via the serial terminal? my program so far is: #picaxe 28x2 ' Converted by X2 Conversion Wizard Version 1.0.2 let dirsB = %11111111 let adcsetup = 0 init: b1 = 0 b2 = 0 b3 = 0 do sertxd ("b1",9, #b1,44,9,"b2", 9, #b2,44,9,"b3", 9, #b3,9,13,10) pause 200 loop all i...
