Hi Picaxe Forum
I have an 18m2 Picaxe connected to a Milford Instruments 4X20 LCD screen via a serial backpack.
The backpack is set to receive 9600 8N1.
If I set the Picaxe frequency to 16 or 32, and use the corresponding 'serout 5,N9600_16 or serout 5,N9600_32' commands the LCD works...
Can anyone help me with some info on encoders, and how to interface them with a 28x Picaxe.
The project is a universal serial remote control. It has a 4 line Serial LCD screen with 4 buttons on each side to select an atribute to adjust. The adjustment (increment or decrement) will be done with...
Hi Forum
Can anyone help with a solution for sending serial data between two picaxes over a low voltage (48v) AC powerline.
I am sending HiDef Serial Digital video over 100m of fibre optic to a receiver unit. The fibre incorporates 4 copper cores that we are pairing to supply 48v AC to a...
This is my first solo Picaxe project (hardware and software).
The idea was originally for a basic BNC cable tester, but the specification grew and grew until it eventually turned into a multi input / output tester for the majority of cables used in the Event ProAV hire business.
The tester...
Hi Guys
I would like to monitor the battery voltage of my Picaxe project.
The manual states that the 'reference voltage for the 'readadc' command is the supply voltage' (the same one I am measuring).
Am I correct in thinking that as the voltage drops, so does the reference and therefore the...
Hi Guys
I am building a cable tester and need some assistance with a bit of code.
This bit of code is used when testing the cable for intermittent connections.
This is what I would like to use, but it returns syntax errors..
If b0>0 and pin0 = 0 then : low portb (b0-1) : high portc 5 : b12=1 ...
Im not sure if I am doing something silly but the first two lines work OK, but the second two give a syntax error. The only difference being the second two are Porta inputs.
If b6>0 and pin6 = 0 then : low portb 6 : high portc 5 : b12=1 : endif
If b7>0 and pin7 = 0 then : low portb 7 : high...
I have a 40x1 Picaxe and prototype board.
I am trying to check the status of pin 2 and 3 (Analogue 0 and 1 / input PortA 0 and 1) used as digital inputs. The High or Low status would then be pasted into variables
I have tried various versions of the code below but always get syntax errors...
Has anyone created a menu system for a RS232 LCD? I have 'up, down, left, right and OK' switches to navigate through a menu with sub menus. I am using a 28X Picaxe.
My current code is very long winded and would be tricky to add submenus and extra menus later..
is there a way to navigate...
