Parallel tasking between Start0 and Start1 is fine until the serin command is hit in "Start0" at that point Start1 also stops. I have attached a snip-it of my code below. To test my theory I added a Do statement (not included in the code below) at the being of my Start1 that would blink...

without drawing everything in, this is what I have. on the drawing, "power" is the power button. when I send a high command from the picaxe to the power button it connects the circuit. What threw me (and it should not have), was measuring voltage across the button and getting a reading. I am...

Here we go again - trying to improve my Game camera project some more. I would imagine there is a better way than using a reed relay to simulate pushing a button. any thoughts on the subject would be welcome. Currently I open up whatever I am hacking and wire to both sides of the push button...

Thank you MartinM57 - I will look into the FET during lunch today. here is the idea very straight forward ( if it attaches)

Okay as some of you know I am new to a lot of this, but learning quickly and having fun. I have a completed my first master piece, and now its time to improve it, and in the process learn more about transistors. Currently I turn on a 12v 20w MR16 using a Reed Relay but instead I want to use a...

Howdy Y'all Okay enough Texas humor for now. I am trying out the Beta editor 6 and when I run my program with the "debug" command it locks the com port until I exit the program. i.e if I make a change to the code, I must exit then restart the program before I send send the new code to the chip...

Instead of using High pause Low I've been trying the plusout command, but it's not working as I thought it would (pulseout B.2, 3000 ;turn B.2 high for 3 secs). So is there a single command that will work to turn a pin high for a set period of time. Thanks,

I am using the following code in the simulator and cannot get the IRIN command to behave as expected. As I follow the logic' the IRIN command should wait for 5 sec (no IR input) then jump to the timeout section and turn on B.1 for 3 sec. But instead it immediately jumps to the IF lines. Is...

here is what I order and received

picture heres the picture.

Ok here comes another newbie question.. I am trying to play with IR for the first time so I purchased (5) TSOP32238 receivers and (5) TSOP4838 emitters. 5 because I’ll blow one up for sure… I am so frustrated right now I can’t see straight. I been reading on the forum for the past few days...
