I am looking for examples of subroutines and how to build them. As a newbie i have written two simple temperatured related programs that share three variables to control two relays. b1,b2,b3 ie if b1> b2 relay 1 goes on if b1< b2 relay 1 goes off If b1 >b3 relay 2 goes on ( a...

;) I have my temp differential program running nicely for my solar water collector and would like to control some fans for the rock storage system. I can turn the fans off or on easily but would like to also run the fans to the peak temp of the rock storage and then shut off and reset to a...

:( I am trying to do a differential ttemp program for solar water collectors ( time is getting critical as temp drops) I have a simple program using the readadc command but in order to use the readtemp required for the ds18b20 sensors I am missing something. When I try to use the generic input...

I am playing with the readtemp on the 14m and don't know how to change the inputs on the similator from analog to digital. I don't know where to find an explanation of how to use the simulator. Would appreciate some direction thanks

In an effort to learn about using the ds18b20 in a program I downloaded programs, see how they are used etc. One program for the 08m uses the readtemp command from pin 1, and displays the output on pin 2. The word (loop is used like main with a colon. When I try the simulator the error says...

I have a couple of lm35 temp sensors and they are inaccurate by 8 to 10 degrees. they are fed with 5v through a 4.7k series resistor. What am i missing here. I have not connected wires to the adj pin as I thought it would not be needed. I have even tried a sensor without a cable, just the...

I am looking for a good manual on programing to use the picaxe more efficiently. Something that will be a reference as well as a how to and good practice guide. I was looking at the picaxe for dummies but reviews are not encouraging and I guess everyone else knows basic or C what is the...

I have written a program for a differential thermostat. It works on the simulator but when I look at other thermometer related programs they average a number of reading and use that value. Other than increased accuracy is there other reasons for doing it and is this necessary in my case? Fisherman

Hi I am looking to flash a led when a number is between the numbers of 20 and thirty. I would have thought that < 20 and > 30 would have worked. I don't see that in the index of commands. A point in the right direction would be appreciated fisherman

Does the simulator support a lcd display and if so how do you find it? fisherman
