Hi All, I have always had the problem of figuring out which COM port number is assigned to which USB-RS232 adapter. Now this has bugged me for a number of years until a friend of my son stated, "yeah no problem. Use PowerShell", in Windows OS. Anyway, he started me off, and in the end I have...

Here's PWM and H-Bridge combined.

Hi All, Just found this: http://www.electro-labs.com/rotary-encoders-understanding-practical-implementation/ Seeing as there are plenty of people using them, and questions invariably arise, I hope that the link may help others. MPep

HI all, Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas:o MPep

Hi all, Might seem like a silly question, but I thought I had purchased 08M2, but the package has the + written on it also. Is there a difference, or is it indeed the same IC? Mark.

Hi All, Just found this http://hackaday.com/2011/09/09/program-an-arduino-using-your-sound-card/ Yes it is for Arduino, but (??) could be made to work for PICAXE. This would get around all the issues there are regarding USB serial port compatibility et al. Really, every computer has a sound...

Hi all, I am going to use the above chip. Datasheet here. I am a little puzzled over the datasheet's mention of Does this mean that the following code should work okay? low CS hspiout (freqhigh) pause 1 hspiout (freqlow) high CS Where FREQHIGH and FREQLOW are byte-wide...

Hi All, Is it possible to use Word variables with Lookup tables? Am trying to use it like so: symbol search = W3 symbol dispcode = W4 Tab2: lookup search,("D2C3,D2CD,D2D7,D2E1,D2EB,D2F4,D2FE,D307,D310,D319"),dispcode returnThing is, is this, in fact, okay to use? MPep.

Another suggestion: would it be possible for users to determine the input device for IR send codes? eg if I already had a Sony TV, how could I make a IR controlled input AV selector?

Hi chaps, I am looking for software that is able to identify on your Windows system what COM ports are available. Reason being is that every time you connect an adapter, and it is in a different USB port to what you originally used, will be assigned a different COM number. e.g. you were using...
