Hi.
Am looking at a solar powered setup with
2 x separate device/picaxe/xrf or erf setups -->> <<-- 1 x URF (both devices sending to the same URF)
Qs
1. how to distinguish between the two remote devices?
2. since both these devices will be running off batteries charged by solar, I plan to...
@ Erco
I can view the linked youtube vid from yr post #28
However all the posts 1,2,6,9,16,17,21,24,26 simply show the text and a large white rectangle.
Would it be possible to make the baud rate for sertxd/serout adjustable (as it is for hserout).
I am aware that the sertxd baud rate is tied tothe clock speed but does it have to be?
When running a 28x2 @ setfreq em40 (10MHz resonator) am unable to use sertxd at the standard baud rates but...
In the sleep command description, the use of disablebod is suggested for further power comsumption reduction.
However, for the NAP command disablebod is not mentioned.
Can disablebod provide the same benefits for NAP as for Sleep?
Remote switch upgrade with an 08M

on a new setup of win7 and ie8 there is some strange behaviour on the forum.

Would someone please confirm;
1. which FETs are currently shipping with this board (IRF/IRL?)
2. which PICAXE is currently recommended for this board (18M?)
Documentatation is still dated 2004!!
Thanks
Sanity check please!
28x1 based circuit at setfreq m8
Have a tacho and two motors.
Only one motor can run at a time.
There is a separate reflective sensor for each motor and the RPM is delivered via the count command on whichever input is selected by a PB.
All this works well.

Would it be possible to show the version (revision) number beside each manual on the website.
Since the manuals do not appear to be delivered with the new program editor download, there is no way to determine if the manual has been updated without downloading (opening) it.
This is wasteful...
Hi,
Usually run the forum with the sort to earliest posts first so I can refresh on what the thread is about before delving into the posts.
There is a button "View First Unread" which will then take you directly to the next unread post in the thread.
The annoyance is that this seems to...

What does the temp profile look like with this method? Is it anywhere near the recommended profile?
There seems to be lots af data (reasonably consistent) from the chip manufacturers and here;

Have mentioned this some time ago in the 'Active PICAXE Forum' but still seems to be a problem.

They all have the same description (no version).

28X1 readoutputs b0 vs let b0 = outpins
These two alternate forms of code for testing the outputs should be the same.
However, in the simulator, the first does not change b0 in the display nor does the If test respond.

main:

If bit2 = 1 then...
The following code does not behave as expected.
