I have some code I am working on, I want to define a table and read it an then set pins according to the table data. However, I cannot set a symbol and then use it as a binary. Such as: symbol plotdata = w1 plotdata = %00001000 let outpinsB = %plotdata Another thing is, I only want to use 4...

Here is my code: setfreq m4 symbol waittime = w1 dirsB = %11110000 waittime = 400 main: outpinsB = %00010000 pause waittime outpinsB = %00100000 pause waittime outpinsB = %01000000 pause waittime outpinsB = %10000000 pause waittime goto main Please see the YouTube video for...

Found this link: http://www.enide.net/webcms/index.php?page=pcm2pwm Thought it was pretty interesting... Is there any such project for the Picaxe? Andrew

I am using the sound command, however the duration is from 0 to 255, in 10ms duration multiples. I am wanting to play a sound but give a very specific time duration in ms, so I am wondering if anyone knows of a way.. maybe via poke(?) to perform what I am wanting to do... Thanks in advance, Andrew

Im running a 20X2 at the factory freq, FWICT it is 4mhz. The KBIN is supposed to 'revert' to 4mhz anyway, to read keyboard sigs. Anyway, I *finally* got some code and wires working together. The only "problem" (question?) is, it takes about 500 miliseconds from keypress to display on serial...

Ive been looking at the I2C bus, and am getting ready to experiment with it some. Looks like it would be a lot better than serial coms so far. However, I have a question... Lest say I have these devices: Master 1 Slave 1 Slave 2 Slave 3 Now, I know the masters talk to the slaves, but...

I put my DVM in line with an LED and pot to read the effects of varied resistance on the load. I was measuring the voltage with a analog VM and amperage with a DVM. I was reading anywhere between .01 and .1 amps. Okay, here is the part Im gonna look stupid on.. I know that: .01 amps is 1/100...

Would this be a good MOSFET for switching high amp, up to 15vdc devices, switched off a 5v pin from the PicAxe? Thank you, Andrew

Well, I got my 4pc of Solid State Relays in. I have no problems at all using it to cut on or off a 40w incandescent bulb (high 2 and low 2). I would however, like to be able to dim the bulb to specified values. Ive been trying PWM and PWMOUT and the best I can get is a flickering bulb. My...

Id like to develop a project whereas a Picaxe would go inline between a PS2 keyboard and a computer, and pass keypresses to the computer, whilst logging key presses, and the rest I can do... "filter" the keypress. The situation I have right now is, the computer I use at work is accessible...

I have THIS serial LCD and I have no clue what Im doing with it. Sigh. http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=813 Datasheet: http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/SerLCD_V2_5.PDF The DS says it defaults to 9600, I am using a 14M and I think 2400 is highest at 4mhz...

I am wanting to make a touch switch for a set of paddles for morse code, for ham radio. I want it to be capacitive, not needing to make contact between two wires, simply one wire detects your skin's touch. Ive been doing a good bit of reading, but I am asking for a revisit to this, has anyone...

Doesnt look like PICAXEBASIC supports INT- I have a formula I want to work out, but some fractions will end up being the result, and the SOUND command wants whole numbers. Anyone been in this type of situation? The duration is what I will be working with. Thanks, Andrew

I went to the RatShack today and brought home an LM386N audio amp, but they didnt have the other parts I need. According to the datasheet, I need a 250uF cap and a .05uF cap. They had no .05 and the closest thing they had for the other was 220. I dont know if they are supposed to be...

Back in the C-64 days, we were able to scan the keyboard buffer for key press using PEEKs. I wonder... since SERIN cannot scan, it must halt until data is received, is there a way to scan the serial input buffer for data and then process it? I ask because I want the chip to continue with other...

Nope, not the little creatures you need to remove with tweazers. :D Does the AXE have ticks that can be read to determine elapsed time? If so, how many ticks/second does the chip run? Im running a 14M right now... Im guessing that the tick rate will be different depending on MHZ of the chip...

I tried writing a silly echo program to gain more familiarization with serial comms. I used pin 0 just like the programmer, if I loop a serout only the text comes across Hyperterm no problems. However if I do a serin and check for <> "" then go to the sub to output, I only get garbage on the...
