    Endif underlined in PE6

    Why does endif get underlined with a red wavy line in PE6? I can change the color of it in the settings, which identifies it as a KeywordError. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is on the same line as the if statement separated with a colon or without, or on it's own line. If I remove it I...

    GPS choice GPS010 or GPS001 and AXE211

    Hi I am going to buy a GPS module. Which is best / simplest? Both are similarly priced but looking at forum post dates the GPS010 looks to be newer. The GPS010 datasheet references AXE211 connect board but I can't find it on either the forum or picaxestore.com. Is this a future product or a...

    Thermocouple tutorial

    I am planning a reflow toaster oven and bought some cheap thermocouples. After a days research I found that the proper way to use them is with a MAX6675 chip which seems to be obsolete or a MAX31855 which I can't find in UK. Other methods used AD595AQ which seem to be about 5 times the price of...

    Hi I have a project using an AXE134Y 4x20 OLED. I want to fit it into a box with transparent lid that I already have several of. The OLED board is a perfect fit but the serial board extends beyond the edge of it too far. I am going to cut this board just behind where the download socket would...

    Caller ID integration UK

    We seem to be plagued with callers offering double glazing, cavity wall and PPI recovery services. We are registered with TPS but I assume most of these calls come from abroad now with VOIP. I have just registered with BTs free 'Privacy at Home' scheme which includes free 'Caller Display'. I...

    Multiway Jumper, Shunt, Busbar

    Hi I am looking for some multiway jumper links. Working with the AXE405 board I have multiple tracks I want to join together. For inputs I can use SIL resistor arrays, but for outputs I want something that will carry a bit more current. I am sure I have seen things that resemble a comb in the...
