Hi I"m trying to write numbers to the scratch pad using the Hserin command (I also tried it in the automatic configuration). I"m using the programming editor terminal to do so. when I sent the number 123 I found out that: address location 0 in the scratch pad stores the number 1 adress...

Hi In the referance manual (picaxe manual 2), in the pages related to owin and owout commands it is noted that "...Use of one-wire parts is covered in more detail in the separate ‘One-Wire Tutorial’ datasheet..." I was looking for this Datasheet but couldnt find it. I was wondering if this...

Hi I noticed that the manual states that - "...the ‘@ptr’ is a byte size variable, not a word size variable." I was wondering if there is any way of storing words in the Scratchpad. As my application will recieve around 50 numbers (words) from an extenal device and I will need to store them...

Hi I"m very new to this. I have read carefully the datasheets and all documentation regarding the i2C protocol. All of which talk about networking a picaxe master to external devices. Can I network the picaxe to otehr picaxes using i2c ? if so how to I give the slaves an address ? all the...

Hi Has anyone ever used PID motor control with picaxe ? if so - how did you over come the limitations PICAXE has with math ? Cheers Guy

Hi I"m working on an art/robotics project. We chose PICAXE as our microcontroller when I read (somewhere) that the new picaxe 28x1 supports the i2c protocols and allows to network 1 master chip to up to 120 slaves via a 2 line bus. My artwork requires 60 slaves (basically 60 interactive...

Hi all I"m quite new to that... I"m trying to implement a PID motor control and need to get time (to calculate the time passed between 2 eevents (for the Derivative bit) Is there any way I can get time from the picaxe ? or is there anyother way of doing it ? Guy

I recently read an article in Silicon Chip that introduces the 28x1 picaxe chip. Among other features it describes a new feature that this chip includes regarding its capabilities to network up to 120 slave chips via 2 line buses to 1 single Master chip. However, looking through the datasheets...

I am working with a DC motor and the L298. Does anyone knows how to activate the break feature efficiently ? no metter what I do there is overshoot which is bed for my application. Thanks Guy

Hi I have been running various codes with my desktop computer (Windows 2000) and an old laptop of mine (win 98) and it was all good. I have been trying to run the same code on the same board with the same electronics and download cable with my new laptops (2 of them - that has xp installed) and...

I"m trying to coordinate an optical shaft encoder and a unipolar stepper moteor using a toggle command. we are using a ULN2003 to drive the steppeer motor and running it all via one PICAXE. Can anyone help me with the code ? Is there a better hardware and code combination for that task ...

Hi Does anyone know how can I read an Optical shaft encoder with picax x18 ? I just cant find anything about it on-line or in the manuals. Cheers Guy  

Hi I would like to network 4 picaxe microcontrollers. One "master" - most of the code loaded on it and 3 "slaves" sending pulses to a stepper motor. I need communication from the master to slaves but there is no need for slave-master communication. I"m not sure how to...

I have benn experienceing with stepper motors controlled by PICAXA these days. Code I use, uses the toggle command. It works fine but... I was wondering if there is any other way of controling stepper motors - other commands that might be more efficient or move the motor fester. I hope this...

is there any way I could count the number of rotations the 360 potentiometer does via the picaxe code Thanks Guy
