I'm new to Picaxe and have built a 3 servo robotic arm with a 08M2. It works fine using a modified version of Erco's code from his 6 servo arm. It moves each servo 1 degree simultaneously with a nice subroutine. However, I'd like each servo to end up at the target, or "goal" as it's called in...

I have an idea for my project down the road that is far beyond my grasp at the moment, and may be too complex for me to pull off, but one I would want to pursue. For a small robotic arm, I may wish to make the arm movements programmable without a computer, using input buttons. For example, I...

Once I complete my project I'll need a 5V or 6V 3A power adapter for the 08M servo driver kit. I have an old laptop power adapter from 7 or 8 years ago rated for 19V and 3.3 Amps. Would this thing be regulated power, and what would be the best way to bring it down to 5V or 6V? I'm also...

I just joined this forum and am in the process of ordering my first 08M project board. I'm new to all this and want to use a remote to control the Picaxe. I'm wondering if it will be possible to turn on the Picaxe with the remote control's power button? I'd like to have it in sleep/lower...
