I think it might have been an EE-08 but not exactly sure. It was probably pre 1970, had the green bowl for holding the light bulb, a...

Many thanks for all the kind words and it's been a pleasure for me too. It definitely isn't going to be a 'numbed with boredom' future...

Time for a reboot. So just a heads-up that beyond this week I will be enjoying an early retirement and putting my feet up, so don't be...

You can do it by just using a variable to count elapsed time ... w0 = 0 Do Pause 1 w0 = w0 + 1 If BTN_PIN = 0 Then w0 = 0...

There will always be potential for jitter; if a pot is sitting on the boundary of being say 9 and 10 just a single bit change from...

That's an interesting project. I was a little confused by "fan" having not heard of it but seeing it's a dual 'fan" and "spinning bar...

That is my understanding but I haven't tried it. The emulation is said to be quite impressive, and doesn't simply take each instruction...

Using the wrong divisor does seem to have been the issue. If you want 20 LED steps it's - 0 to 255 0 to 19 = --------...

It seems to me there are only 705 unique descending digit numbers and - 1 loop = 20 ***** 2 loops = 34 ********* 3 loops =...

Seems Wikipedia is right, testing all valid numbers ... 1 loop = 384 ******** 2 loops = 576 ************ 3 loops = 2400...

Sorry; I had missed that as an option and it is a very neat trick. Given 'a XOR b' will give a zero result when both are the same I was...

That is something I had never heard of before and very interesting. The challenges do seem to be input, checking the digits aren't all...

If just jumping to 45' 90' and 180' angles you should be able to specify those using just SERVO command, setting the 'Position' to the...

The qualifiers define what must be at the start of the message, not the variables themselves. If your message is -...

Yes, and in this case I would suggest a separate PICAXE controlling the spoiler is the perfect solution. It can run as slow or as fast...
