Hi, Can I interface the LCD display given in the link with a PICAXE 08M2. Here's the link: http://hobby2go.com/shopping/details/20640/300/leds-lcds/16-x-2-lcd-character-display-green-color.html And what does 16x2 character display LCD mean? Thanks

Hi, I am planning to buy a breadboard adpater for programming my PICAXE. But from the mentioned link, I get to know that I cannot program 8 pin PICAXEs. Can someone clarify this? Here's the link: http://www.hobby2go.com/shopping/details/114200/800/picaxe/breadboard-adaptor-axe029.html Thanks.

Hi, Can the 3.5 mm socket to which the download cable is hooked up be attached directly to the breadboard without the need of a breadboard adapter?

Hi, I am totally new to electronics and Picaxe. I have a 28X1 starter pack with me which always gives me an error that no hardware is found on com port. So I am planning to set up a program download circuit on a breadboard. But I do not know how to go about it. Please someone post a circuit...

hi, I do not much about driving motors. But I have read something about the use of PWM for controlling the speed of motors. How is that done and why is PWM used for the purpose. Thanks.

I see that Darlington driver comes with every PICAXE starter pack or at least 28*1 pack. What is the use of this IC?

Hi, I have a PICAXE 28*1 IC. Does this IC come with some sort of memory register where I can store some values. For eg. if I made an obstacle avoiding robot and want to count the number of obstacles and store this value in a particular memory register so that the value will be available even...

Hi, I am new to PICAXE and would like to have a sample piece of code to interface an LCD display with a PICAXE chip. I have a PICAXE 28*1 starter pack. How can I connect an LCD display to the project borad. Thanks.

Hi, I have a picaxe 28*1 microcontroller. It is as fresh as I received it. But I think I fried it by applying reverse voltage. How can I know whether the mc is damaged without trying to program it or connecting it to the PC. I mean any method using multimeter. Thanks

Hi, I have a picaxe 28*1 starter pack. I did not program the PICAXE which came with it. I soldered a male header pin to output 0 on the board(Port), connected a servo to it and the servo is rotating. I know that there is a bootstrap in the microcontroller. Does the working of the servo mean...

Hi, I am new to PICAXE and this forum. Recently I bought a PICAXE 28 starter pack(http://www.picaxe.com/Hardware/Starter-Packs/PICAXE-28-Starter-Pack/). I has PIC16F886 microcontroller. I plugged in the AXE027 cable. The computer detected it. I then hooked up the starter kit on to the project...
