    Pulsin command

    I am considering a code containing a “pulsin” command configured to start its timing from a high to low transition on its pin. I am not clear however on what happens during execution if the line with the pulsin command is encountered when its pin value is low ? Does execution wait a while...

    CSS555(C)- a 555 with attitude!

    I have been working with the CSS555 chip for maybe 2 years in various battery and solar powered projects. It is incredible for such gadgets - just sipping around 4uA to keep itself in operation. I've used it on timers, both in standard astable configuration as for a blinking Electronic...

    Absolute lowest power

    Recently I was looking for a similar circuit. With the help primarily of senior member "sghioto" we got the following circuit to work perfectly: First step in the program is "High 4" and the last one is "Low 4" It turns on with a touch of the button switch, keeps itself on, and after...

    08M2 Programming Conundrum

    I encountered a very perplexing 08M2 programming problem. To put it in simple isolated form consider this program: Main: High C.1 Pause 2000 Low C.1 High C.2 Pause 2000 Low C.2 High C.4 Pause 2000 Low C.4 For troubleshooting the problem, the ports are each connected to a red LED through a...

    Latching Circuit

    Your suggested circuit works perfectly Steve! Here is the schematic as I tested it. First step in the program is "High 4" and the last one is "Low 4" It turns on with a touch of the button switch, keeps itself on, and after running through its program, it turns itself off completely...

    Latching Circuit

    The following circuit was intended to switch on a Picaxe through a p-channel Mosfet by momentarily depressing a button. The first step of the program is "Low 4" which then keeps power on (the gate of the Mosfet being held low). That part works fine. After the program runs down to its next...

    Programming the OLED module

    Once the firmware is downloaded, exactly how does one modify it to make the OLED show a different message when first starting up? Help appreciated!!!

    Servo Idle Current

    I have been trying to find specs on the idle current of various servos, but not much is available. The few that have ratings given show between 6 and 8mA for standard servos, and a digital model had 3mA specified. Does anyone here know any more about this? I am thinking of a battery run...

    Low voltage operation

    I am using a 08M in a solar application. The cells will never take it above 5V, but I am wondering if low voltages in the morning or evening might damage the 08M.
