    Ready to give it a go

    OK, I finally got some time and am ready to connect my stepper motor assembly to the hardness tester. I was hoping to hook up to the start switch and the beeper in the unit. I really don’t want to tear into the machine if I don’t have to. There is one of two connectors in the back that may be...

    PCB question

    I am thinking of having a PCB made professionally for the first time. One added idea I had was to see which Picaxe chips were alike enough so I could combine them and a few other common components/circuits on the same board. Same goes for a couple led, regulator or other common circuits. Any...

    Stepper Motor Code

    Had to put my project on ice for a while so I could get some other things done. I’m back to it again and am starting a new thread. Anyone that wants to see what’s going on can go to: http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11345 The only problem I need to fix is the accuracy. When...

    Can a picaxe be resurected?

    I have two 20M chips that seem to have died. One a few weeks a go and one over the weekend. Not sure how or why. Possible that I inserted/removed the chip with the power on. I have tried to run the program and clear hardware memory without success. Is there any way to bring this chip back to...

    AXE033

    Does anyone know of any U.S. distributors that carry the AXE033 LCD module or an equivalent that works with the Picaxe? I've looked a little bit with no success but will keep trying.

    Best Stepper Motor Commands

    I just started on a project and I need a little help. I am pretty new to the picaxe micro controllers and the programming of them. Basically what I’m doing is using a bipolar stepper motor to turn the handle on a micrometer to certain positions. I am using a 20m and a MC3479 to drive the...

    What am I doing wrong

    I am trying to drive a small stepper motor (looks like a unipolar) with a 08M and a ULN2803. No matter what I do I can't get it to work. It looks like the output pins on the 2803 are only putting out only .6 volts. I have used the same power as the 08m and also a separate 9 volt supply on pins 9...
