I'm confused and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. The way I'm interpret the I2C setup is as follows hi2csetup i2cmaster, Slaveaddress, Mode, Addresslen: HI2CSETUP = Tell the picaxe you want to use and setup I2c I2CMASTER = Master mode aka the one in command Slaveaddress = The...

I'm working on a new project with a DS1307. My end goal is to have a GoPro start recording on the time of day by using a servo and a DS1307 RTC. I have the RTC working but I'd like to be able to set the time via the serial port. I've been trying to modify the code from this thread. The problem...

Hey all. I'm working with a picaxe 20m2 and a MSGEQ7 equalizer. I appear to have it doing something and by something I mean it's giving me values on the output but the problem is, it's doing it wether or not I have an audio input. I've checked and rechecked my circuit and all seems good (minus a...

You are correct that I'm not using an end frame or "tail". This is by design. I found that using an end frame, at times it will force the LED that follows the end frame to go full white. I then used the suggestion as in the following video series. I'm sure you've noticed that sending a start...

Thank you guys. These are some great examples that I think I can work with. The execution time is a bit slower than the method I used but I achieved similar speeds by increasing the clock up to 64. This is similar to what I have in mind to make. I'm just now starting on the different patterns...

Hey guys. I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out. I've been working with APA102 LEDs and in my venture, I've seen some pretty cool things that can be done with them. I have them working just fine with a PICAXE 20x2 but one of the things I'm struggling with is...

I'm interested in making my own stage lighting for our band. I came across NeoPixel LED rings but after further research, it seems as if the PICAXE isn't fast enough by itself. I watched this video and he has the clock speed for his PIC set at 48mhz. My question is, can I use an external...

I'm having some issues here that I don't quite understand. I've been working on a RGB LED project for an annual Halloween party. I have an old PC power supply that I've modified with a toggle switch so I can use it as a project power source. It great because it has multiple voltages and high...

In other languages it could do the following. I tried to do this for a picaxe but I can't use "()" so the code fails when "that1" is equal to 1. How can I do if and/or statements? snippet from the actual code I'm running. #picaxe 20m2 symbol redOut = c.5 symbol grnOut = c.3 symbol...

Hey all. Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm working on a project here using a 20M2 and a MDFLY AU5016. I have it playing MP3s just fine however I'm struggling with trying to read the status of the commands via serial output (of the MDFLY). There isn't much on this topic although I was...

Hi all. I playing with my picaxe again (40x1) and my new LCD but I'm having issues getting the LCD to display any text. I'm using this LCD and using the following code. main: serout 1, N9600_8, ("testing") All I'm getting on the LCD is gibberish. I'm guessing it's a baud rate problem but...

Hi everyone. This is my first post and my first project with a picaxe and an mdfly AU5120 mp3 player. I am familiar with programming, serial comms and basic electronics but I can't seem to get this thing to work. I'm sure I'm just not doing something right and that's why I'm here. Any help would...
