    08M stopped loading - error?

    I've been shown the very basics by Rick Harris so I'm right at the beginning. I've started a second program after about 6 tests, i.e. a different program each time. Then I got the error message. I checked all the soldered connections, battery, wires on breadboard etc. I don't know what to do...

    square one

    I thought I was making progress but I've gone to the start. I've learnt by my mistakes but they seem to have returned regardless. I tried to load a new mini test program to try something else and it worked. I tried 3rd test program nothing happened. So I went back to the beginning and tried...

When I read the instructions I noticed that the...

    compatability starter packs

    I purchased the 28x pack but on research and instructions from you all it seems a bit too far ahead at the moment. So I have ordered the 08 pack as it is easier to start with. Correct me I gone it wrong I read somewhere that I have to buy the chips as they are not sold with the kit. I thought...

    Acrobat Reader ( Moved )

    For some strange reason 'acrobat reader' does not "compute" when I try to download various info that I need to help me clear up problems. It has worked before at other sites:(http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/images/smilies/frown.gif :(

    novice 'old boy' at electronics

    Hi everyone. I'm just learning electronics, (series/parallel resistors stage), and I'm trying different ways to learn as I'm completely on my own. I've got the 'PICAXE'-28X1 as it looks like another learning tool that might help. I've briefly looked at the starter pack and its made me want to...
