Was just reading on WikiPedia that PICAXE is interpreter based? I was always under the impression that the BASIC was compiled, assembled and then downloaded onto the chip...not line by line interpreted? I understand that without the boostrap, the PIC cannot be used with the PICAXE programming...

I want to use a resistor network to connect about 4 switches to an ADC pin on my 28X. I have played around quite a bit with lots of different ways of doing it but none of them really work. My program on the 28X looks like this: ======================================== main: readadc 0,w1...

I have a simple RC circuit which I use to trigger the PULSIN command on my PICAXE... At the moment I charge up my 0.1uf ceramic cap through a 10k resistor which gives a nice rising edge which triggers the pulsin command nicely. The PULSIN works well however I get quite a bit of fluctuation in...

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone (hippy/technical/or anyone else) has a rough idea of the processing time for certain PICAXE commands? I am particular after a rough indication of the time taken for each command to process. The commands I am after are basically just: HIGH x (x being...

Hi guys, Appreciate all your other help on my questions! One last thing: I would like to run my PICAXE + a couple of servos off the same supply (4 x 1.2V NiMh Batteries @ 1800mAh each) Now I realise that becuase the servos are motors they are gonna generate some electrical noise and I don't...

Hi there, My current application (proj I am working on) requires that I use 16MHz in order to obtain the measurement accuracy I require. However I also need to use the servo command! The datasheet says that this command will only work @ 4MHz? Is there any way I can simulate or perform a...

<<< HIGH-SPEED COUNTER >>> Hi there all, I am wanting to make a high speed interval timer with my PICAXE and was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to go about doing that. Basically I want to measure the time between a pin being triggered...

>>>>>> SEROUT @ 16MHz <<<<<< Hi I was just wondering what the affect of increased clock speed is on the serout commands. I would just like know the equivalent baud rate @ 16MHz of the following: N300 N600...

I have just installed the latest version of the Programming Editor but I am having major problems with it! 1/ When I go to program my 28X chip with a previous program I have written that worked fined and which I programmed in a previous version I get an error message saying... Error5:Invalid...
