Hi Hippy, we understand that this could be human error our concern was mainly that we seemed to be getting native chips rather than picaxe engraved ones. I have worked with Microchip on many occasions and on many occasions they have got things very wrong LORA WAN development Mot's for example...

hi Goeytex the chips were purchased direct a chap called Colin at revolution education refused that the picaxe 14m2 chips could be faulty so we gave up trying to return them and switched to just using 20M2 and 08M2 chips. we didn't have any issues until now so I thought I would ask the Forum in...

hi Nick12AB, sorry for the late reply the chips were tested in a known good test board and behaved weariedly strobing the serial out pin not like picaxe.

Hi Hippy sorry for late reply, all of our Picaxe chips are purchased through Revolution education. we do not buy from any resellers

Hi All wonder if any of you have had a simlar experience with Revolution education as I have got nowhere with with Revolution education in solving my previous problem. About a year ago we received properly identified picaxe 14-m2 chips we had 10 in stock During a training session we hold for...

We Have a working pot! It appears that there could be two possibility's 1. the first pot was broken. (Ill fit the old pot and check.) 2. the time between read and write I had set at 10ms when read the pot replied 255 when there was a delay added between write and read of 20 ms the correct answer...

O just another note the test board was built on an anti static bench and I am using a tested wrist strap so static shouldn't be an issue.

Hi Goeytex. Thank you for your sugestions. just to answer a few points. There is two engineers looking at the circuit at the moment nether can understand why there is no read from the pot. I am changing the pot and the adapter board just in case there is an issue but all pins ring through and...

Hi Inglewoodpete, My lines are short less than 10cm. I am going to attach the I2c fuel gauge circuit to the picaxe circuit to see if it reads ok then swap over to the pot. I will also solder another pot to an adapter just in case there is any problems with the chip but it does work when...

Thank you for all your suggestions so I will answer each. Thank you Technical there is a 4.7 k pull up resister on the SCL and SDA lines. Inglewoodpete. Thank you for the information about i2slave being outdated I copied the code from another project that read and wrote to a OLE screen and...

Sorry put this post in the wrong place Moved to Active Forum. E

Hi All, I am having problems getting any settings or reading from a DS3502. I have tried a simple test code to just read the pot wiper location to try and communicate with the device without success. All is ok if I use an Arduino so the picaxe should work ok. setup: hi2csetup...

Hi all, I am trying to convert temperature K into temperature C, The formula is straight forward from what I understand K - 273.15 = C. I know the Picaxe cannot use decimal places so I tried these ways without success Picaxe 08M2 setfreq m16 pause 8000 ;Maths 1 to change K into C, W12 is...

I was bit disapointed in the responces. I have maby one or two hours a month to learn anything and felt your responces were more hipacritical than maby providing a pice of program that worked on its own explaining how the picaxe used the gosub process. The picaxe manual is helpfull but when many...
