Hi, I've been reading a whole lot about the quadrotors and have checked this place out for related threads but I've either not paid enough attention or missed something... Anyhow I've seen that the Arduino tends to be used in a whole lot of quadrotors but I've been wondering if the PICAXE could...

Hi, due to the nature of my animatronics project I require different servos for certain tasks, higher torque etc. I am however having some trouble getting my some servos to respond. I'm using this code to test my servos: start: servo 7, 0 pause 2000 servo 7, 225 pause 2000 goto start...

Hi, I know there are plenty of "calculators" out there but I can't seem to find (let alone understand) a calculator or equation for figuring out the drop in torque a servo has from it's pivot point... I'll explain: I have a servo that has quite the impressive torque of 13kg/cm at 6V, I know...

Hi, I'm doing an animatronic creature and for laughts I thought it'd be good to controll the animatronics via a Playstation (1 or 2) controller or an old NES Advantage Arcade pad... I use the PICAXE 28X1 board and have used it before to make an animatronic head (See attached Image) I've done a...

I've seen these used before for films like Beowulf where they were used to read and interpret the movements of the actors eyes for the CG (I do special effects so I kinda watch alot of extras)... Anyway I was wondering, do you believe it'd be possible to implement Biopotential sensors into a...

Hi, I'm always here to ask for help (cause I can't give advice) :P... I'm sure there are posts relevent to this already online here but I'm not sure what to search to find them... OK I'm building a program to controll serveral servos in an animatronic head I've made (Oooo fancy), now I know...

Hi. I have one Pot controlling the direction of two servos however I need one to turn in the opposite direction to the other when the pot is turned... I believe it can be done by changing the maths that follows the "analogvalue" or wordcount in the lines below. readadc analogport1...

Hi, this is just a quick general question regarding the Protech B160 micro servos... http://www.servoshop.co.uk/index.php?pid=PROBB160243&area=Servo I've purchased some recently for some animatronics, they are aparrently rated for use between 4.5 v and 6 v but when I connect them to my set up...

Hi. I'll bet this has been asked before but does anybody know if it is possible to hook up a playstation controller to the inputs of a PICAXE? presumably it would be possible for the new USB controllers? I've seen videos of people controlling RC Hellicopters via the controller and it'd make a...

Hi! I'm going back to university soon and I've had so much fun with PICAXE that I've decided to try and create animatronics with it for my second year... What I'd like to know however is what you consider the best servo controller "attachment" is for use with the PICAXE 28X board? The more...

but this time it's really stoopid... Hey all, I'm new to PICs and recently purchased the 28X1 starter pack, I've got along superbly with simpler code for LED's and such but my main need is to controll motors... As such I purchased the L293D for the PICAXE board along with two little "toy"...
