Some of the boards have the micro USB jack and others have the female barrel jack. I have a bunch of USB to micro USB/barrel jack adaptors so that's what I used. (Also have many USB output "wall warts") Except for the smallest 8m board and the one with the terminal blocks I have at least 2...

Success! Reduced the file size to 857k each and now it uploaded ok. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the link. I read and have not changed my email address. Went thru my "profile" and other parameters and see nothing more I can do with my account. I assume that if I wasn't "activated" I could not see others attachments (I can) or even post. Maybe the forum could "re-activate" my account?

I know, tried several times to upload without success. The pics are jpegs. Tried using the "attach files" and "insert image" tags. Perhaps someone could guide me on what I am doing wrong?

Here are a few picaxe boards I made up test out programs or embed into a new project. The 20 pin modules will accept the 8m,14m, or 20m chips. Pin outputs use either male/female headers or terminal blocks. Pictures aren't the best as I used the only camera I had from an old Iphone. Let me know...

Thanks everyone for your responses! Just ordered a bunch of .1uf polyesters for all future projects.

Hi, been using various picaxes over the years and have used whatever I had on hand for the bypass cap. Small electrolytics, ceramic discs, tantalum, polyester, polypropylene etc. From .1uf to 100uf. Never had a problem with them performing perfectly with some projects running continuously for...

Tried the registry change suggested and now works like a charm. Thanks so much!

Fixed! Apparently with windows 7(which is what I am using) if you attach a device to a port that has "activity" it will automatically load a mouse or ballpoint(?) driver instead of the AXE033 cable driver. I had connected the usb end of the AXE033 cable to the computer while the other end was...

Hi, been writing programs and downloading using several chips and boards. Then I get the can't open COM3 port error message. Made no changes to the computer or settings. Just made a change to a program I was working on and tried to download. Tried rebooting, unplugging download cable, hard reset...

Hi, just started using a picaxe 08M feeding a Wulfden K107 LCD controller board and a standard 2x16 LCD. Below is the simple program that's producting inconsistant results. start: pause 1000 high 1 begin: pause 1000 serout 1, t2400, ("hi") pause 1000 serout 1, t2400, ("?f ") pause 1000 goto...

Hi, I am wondering what the time delay is from instruction to instruction when using an 08M @4meg. Lets say I write a simple program that reads adc10 on pins 1,2,and 4 to word variable, compares each of the variables to a # then loops back to reading pins 1,2,4 etc. I know some lines require...

Hi, I'm using an 8M and noticed output 0 goes high and low in a pattern then the program runs fine. I'm assuming it's the 8M trying to read a new program @ start-up. My project needs 3 analog inputs with 1 output so I'm forced to use 0 as an output. Is there a way to prevent this series of...
