I may be wrong, but I think that there is a minor error regarding the 08M2 with regards to the Pullup function. In the Pullup command description it mentions 08M2 bit0-bit4 = C.0 to C.4 Implying that Pullup %00011111 is a valid command. But C.0 is an output pin only and cannot have a pullup...

Hi, Here's my story. I have had the ez430-MSP430 kit for a long time which I received at a TI seminar in L.A. The other day I decided to try their development kit called Code Composer. It took forever to install. I found that the TI folder size using Properties is 2gb. So its quite a program...

@Goeytex I smiled at this, because it sounds just like me (cheap!). Also, as @stan74 wrote, at my first exposure to Picaxe I got disillusioned, because I tried to write some code for a very simple graphics display it was just too slow. I gave up on it. But since then recognize what the Picaxe is...

I am just curious, the Picaxe approach is just great. But will the concept ever be applied to provide a newer generation 32 bit family? The PIC32 being an obvious choice. But a downside about the PIC32 are the high pin counts, I think 28 pin is the smallest DIP version?. Whereas the ARM family...

I believe that the Picaxe 08M2 is using the PIC12F1823. I see that it has three timers timer0, timer1, timer2, two 8 bits timers and one 16 bit. Searching the forum I see various threads which utilize timer1, via peekSFR and pokeSFR. I would like to try to use a timer to measure the time period...

I have not built anything yet. But want to! My e-bike is a crank motor type (by Bosch) and provides various assist levels up to 25km/h, above which it just stops providing assistance. But I would really like to go a little faster at times. I believe that the crank mounted motor detects the...

Aah, thanks, I see that the PE6 Logicator that I installed has been removed from the Obsolete section. But within the Obsolete - Logicator for Picaxe there is some text that tells me to use the new version in PE6. It looks like I am a few weeks too early? How does one correctly remove Logicator...

I have a question. I installed PE6 the other day I am using version 6.0.9.2, I just checked for an update, and it says that I am up to date. My question is about the Simulate - Connect to real-life Picaxe. It says that this is currently disabled in this beta version. I have searched the...

I am just curious. I started out using Flowchart and found out that CASE is not supported. I found it easy to add it in using the BASIC code block. Then today I started to look into using Blockly and found out that SELECT CASE isn't available there either. So my question. Why is SELECT CASE...

With the M2 series I notice the absence of setbit, clearbit and togglebit, can't find testbit, maybe that's - bitx ? I cannot understand this because it seems a basic requirement. I am playing with some SFR's and the following code works, but it seems quite inefficient. So my question, is there...

Periodically I get a problem with the AXE027 cable. In Picaxe Programming Editor - Options - Serial Port. see COM2 (not available) AXE027 PICAXE USB. When I click on "Scan for USB Cable" it says "An AXE027 Download Cable is connected to Com2 but is being used by another application". Close the...

Here attached is a working code fragment. At the moment SPI master only. I have a few questions. 1. The hardware SPI is as expected is very fast, however the chip select CS is relatively slow. Question is there anyway I can speed the CS (ENABLE) up? I have tried, but seem to be stuck to the...

The website says that the 14M2 datasheet is the PIC16F1825. But I see the 14M2 has ports C0-5 and B0-5, whereas the 1825 has ports C0-5 and A0-5 meaning that the pins are named differently and in different positions. Then I looked at the 18M2 = PIC16F1847, and compared it to "PICaxe 18M2 SFR...

Hi, just a few assorted questions that have been niggling me! 1. Is there info around that compares the various Pixaxe part #'s, power consumption at various voltages vs clock speeds etc, I notice this parameter isn't mentioned in any spec sheets. 2. Why can't the X2 be compiled to multitask...
