    Help with irin command

    I am using the irin command in my project and would like some help. A segment of my project's code looks like this: nomad: irin c.2, b0 select case b0 case 18 high b.2, b.5 low b.3, b.4 end select goto nomad When I use the code, it works, but the command latches it in that position unless...

    Coding Trouble

    I am using an L293D in conjunction with the Picaxe 14M2. Four of the Picaxe's output legs go to each of the L293D's inputs, and the motors connect to the L293D's outputs with a 0.1 uF capacitor between the motors. The motors I'm using are the FA-130 type motors that come with the Tamiya Double...

    Coding Trouble

    In case the schematic doesn't come up again, I am using an L293D in conjunction with the Picaxe 14M2.

    Coding Trouble

    I am working on a remote control tank and am having trouble getting the motors to work. I am using a Picaxe 14M2 to work the motors and I entered these commands to test the motors: left track moves forwards: high b.2 low b.3 right track moves forwards: high b.5 low b.4 left track moves...

    Using an L293D

    I am working on a miniature tank that uses a Tamiya Double Gearbox and an L293D motor driver chip. After researching information on the parts I'm using and soldering them together, the circuitboard looks like this: However, when I try to test the motors by typing "high b.2", the motors...

    Resistor Value

    I am working on a project for school and would like to figure out the value I'd need to drop 4.5 volts down to 3 volts using only a resistor. According to Ohm's Law Voltage/Current = Resistance, I am using a 3 x AA battery pack as the main voltage supply, which is capable of outputting...

    Could use help with a project.

    Hi. I am building a remote-control tank for a project for school. Two of the main components I am using to build the tank's circuitry are a Picaxe 14M2 microcontroller and a Tamiya Double Gearbox. The issue I'm having is that the Picaxe 14M2 and most of the circuitry can operate safely at 4.5...
