    Default I2C addresses

    I'm trying to get a 14M2 (master) to talk to a 40X2 (slave). I think I have an OK grasp on I2C syntax, but the protocol requires naming the chip by address, and I can't determine what to call the respective chips. Do PICAXE chips have a default manufacturer I2C address or a configurable I2C...

    Changing bits to outputs

    Hey all. I've figured out how to read out bits from the input pins, save them to b0, and write them out to output pins using a Rube Goldbergish set of outputs: if b0 = %00000000 then low B.3, B.2, B.1, B.0 pause 100 endif if b0 = %00000001 then low B.3, B.2, B.1 high B.0 pause 100 endif if...

    08M2 I/O limits with I2C

    Hey all. I've been enjoying my learning endeavors with the PICAXE 08M2. I have an application in mind which more or less requires the smallest form factor I can work with, and 08M2 has so far seemed promising (re-learning BASIC has been worth it no matter what!). I'm trying to feed 4 switch...

    Very basic BASIC issues

    Hey all. Still learning. 08m2 on a breadboard. LinAXEpad. No excitement with putting the program on the chip. Sole problem is my ability to code BASIC. I think what I'm trying to do is pretty obvious from the code (four lights in a row, repeat until unplugged) but it's not working as I intend...

    N00b: unusual behavior fromn Pin 0?

    Hey all. First post. I am just learning how to do PICAXE programming (08M2, LinAXEpad, no problems loading the program onto the chip). As an experiment, I took the basic "hello world" blinky-light program, and multiplied it by 4 to turn on the chip's four outputs (0, 1, 2, and 4) in sequence...
