    is 5.3v too high for an 08m?

    Hey I was considering using a mobile phone car charger as a cheap and ready made power supply for a project. It uses a dc-dc converter but I found that it outputs at 5.31vdc. Im curious if this is ok or if it will cause a problem since its a bit high. I figured a 7805 LDO would regulate it to...

    simple question about the minimum operating circuit

    Hey, just was wondering, is it necessary to have the download circuit hooked up to the PICAXE? Im thinking not but am I going to do something potentially damaging to it in the process? I figure as long as the PICAXE has 5v and 0v then it should function happily all day long. Am I wrong in...

    Would this be a suitable voltage regulator?

    Ive been searching around on TI's automotive site looking for suitable voltage regulators capable of protecting the PICAXE in an automotive enviroment. Heres a link to the datasheet http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tle4275-q1.pdf The part number is TLE4275. Sounds like it more or less can...

    END command

    Hey guys Ive been learning alot over the last few days and I have a question about the END command. In the manual it says it will sleep teminally until power cycles. Now does that mean that Vdd needs to go to 0vand back to 5v before it starts again? If it does is there a way to put the PIC...
