Spencer just wrote a brief run down on how to wire the AXE401 kit in less than 2 mins to the latest generation of XRF which has 5v tollerant data lines. There's a blob of code to test the outcome and here's all you need to wire it. 3V3 --- Pin 1 C.7 --- Pin 2 C.6 --- Pin 3 0V --- Pin 10 Full...

We have just designed an adapter for the Pi that can take the same radio modules as the AXE210 kit which means you can send text to and from your RasPi and PICAXE Would anyone be interested in me knocking up some simple examples?

http://www.picaxe.com/Circuit-Creator/Miscellaneous/XRF-Radio-Transducer/ Blub suggests it runs at 2.4Ghz, This should be changed to something like 868Mhz by default, 315/433/900/915 selectable dependant on region.

Hi, Is there anyway to use serial out/A.4/physical pin 7 on a 28pin X part as an output? I'd like to use it for CS on a SPI project and all I need to do it pull it low/high. In the manual appendix E it doesnt suggest it's possible, wondered if there a poke that'll do it? Any help would be...

After a long conversation yesterday with a PICAXE beginner I was reminded how daunting wireless comms seemed all those years back. I thought it might be useful to cut and paste something I was just writing to show how simple it is to send out data from an XBee, XRF or X232 module. In each case...

Hi all, I remember a while back a user had an issue where his xbee wouldn't transmit for the first 9-10 seconds. We were just doing some work with arduinos and found the same issue. The reason is quite simple yet undocumented in the series 1 docs (it is in series 2, DOH digi!). If the DIN pin...

Hi all, A question I'm sure 4 or 5 of you will love to answer (probably with different opinions). As you'll probably know I'm into XBee's. Our home automation protocol is now finished and uses 15.4 strict mode NO ACKS unlike the XBee's maxstream header out the box. This is to allow...

Hi all, Quick question, having switched on the hardware serial port using "hsersetup B9600_8, %00" anyone know if it's possible to turn off the function after having turned it on? Cheers Miles ________ Toyota Financial Services history

Hi Drac and anyone else interested in this kind of thing, I recieved the firmware a good few weeks ago (then promptly forgot about it), I've not looked into it yet but stumbled across an article that's grabbed my attention so I looked at the maxstream site, wish I knew then what I had been...

Hi, This is probably aimed at tech rather than a generic question, but someone might know. I've just tried programming a PIC16F886 with some trial code, with a view to putting some of the 28x1 programs straight onto PIC's. The 886 isnt listed in the PIC part of the editor, which Microchip part...

Hi all, Wanted to run this by those who know better if it would work. All I want to do is power up the PICAXE and detect which switch was pushed, it doesnt matter that the circuit dies after being released. Simply circuit attached. Would welcome any thoughts Cheers Miles ________...

Hi, I've been looking through the manual and might have missed it but am looking for a command that is equivalent to the RESET command on the X1 parts. This is for the 14M. Cheers Miles ________ wiki vaporizer

A few weeks ago, a few people had commented on what they'd like to see on a proto board if I did one. I hadn't forgotten you all, I'll get round to it shortly, I'm thinking it'll be a larger 28x1 board than our current one with space for XBee, RTC & EEPROM, also thinking it'll should be able to...

Hi, I'll be upfront with you on this one, if it can be done, it will end up in a commercial prototype, just wanted to be clear, so one or two people who have issues with me using PICAXE's for "work" not hobby can chose or not to give any help. I've got a device that I'm communcating with that...

Of the recent posts, just seen lidl have a wattmeter for ?6.99 http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2867_7248.htm?WT.mc_id=2008-09-19-11-25 Miles ________ Ford Cougar (Europe) specifications

Hi, Does any one know why when powering a dallas DS18B20 off an output the reading is a few degrees high? Got two doing the same thing, will solder one straight to VDD tommorow to check, just thought I'd ask first. Cheers Miles ________ herbalaire vaporizer

Hi, I've just tried to define two symbols by reading the contents of the eeprom but it's I guess associating the variable with the symbol not it's actual contents. My program crashes with this (b1 gets used as a variable elsewhere, which is why it crashes, the below statement works fine if I...

Hi all, I need a little assistance. I'm trying to read a voltage to 2 decimal places. My DMM says 12.84v, the 10 bit reading across a potential divider is 864, so in excel I can simply do - reading * 0.014861111 would equal the correct voltage. I cannot figure out how to multiply by such a...
