    High Altitude PICAXE Success

    Hey all, A year or so ago some may remember this, our first, lost high altitude balloon project, which was never recovered. However, last Saturday we launched a brand new payload, almost entirely powered by a 40X2, which reached an altitude of 31km (102,000ft) before returning safely back to...

    Ionising radiation detector

    Hey, does anyone know of a small ionising radiation detector that can be conencted to a PICAXE? It needs to be small and light, so a standard lab geiger counter would be much too large Thanks, Matt

    Anyone seen my PICAXE?

    Evening We launched a weather balloon today with an electronic radio communications payload on board. Unfortunately we lost it somewhere around the Lincoln (UK) area. We managed to get some packets before we lost it, and so got its altitude 15000ft ish (based on pressure), and so predictions...

    Writing values to EEPROM (BAS800)

    Hey all, i was wondering is it possible to write values to a PIC's (16F628A) EEPROM memory when it is programmed, using the BAS800 programmer, as i cannot find the options in the Serial PIC Programmer software? Thanks (I know this isnt exactly PICAXE but I dunno where else to put it)

    RF Tuner

    Hey there, I have a TV tuner module from a dead DVD recorder (the DVD bit was dead so this thing should still work fine), however, I am unable to find the datasheet for it. The markings on it are as follows: 6700PFPL07E TADM-M910D 411C1011 It is also a LG device. After taking the sides off...

    Serial memory - fram alternative

    Hi, im looking for some serial memory where after issuing the write or read command, you can continue to issue a clock pulse to read or write data to the entire device, rather than having to reissue commands or addresses every page or block I am aware FRAM has this ability, and this is...

    WIZnet W5100/WIZ810 UK supplier?

    Hi, does anyone know of a UK, or overseas supplier with reasonable shipping, for the WIZnet embedded ethernet products? Shipping from the manufacturer is >$50, even for a few little ICs :eek: The =1"]W5100 seems a good priced embedded ethernet IC with parallel/SPI interface, and has been...

    Microchip SPI to Ethernet IC ENC28J60

    The ENC28J60 is a 28 pin IC that seems to allow a SPI device to communicate via ethernet. It only requires a few external components and has a low pin count, and for a reasonable price. However, how difficult do you think this will be to get working, or has anyone used this IC before? ENC28J60...

    What is this component?

    I found this thing in an old VHS tape player, but I have no idea what it is Any ideas? (i know it doesnt seem PICAXE, but if i knew what it does I may use it with a PICAXE :) ) Matt

    Poorman's LCD/simulator program

    I made this program a little while ago, but recently put the serial port interface on it. What it is, is a PC based PICAXE LCD screen, that the user can enter commands on the screen on connect to a PICAXE in the normal way, and will accept all the commands used by a normal LCD screen. The...

    XPORT Serial Commands

    Hey all, I have a Lantronix XPORT (link) which I have had for a long time but not done much anything with. I have been able to access the webpage, change settings, change the webpage, put the sample java script on it to change the state of the GPIO pins etc... but does anybody have any...
