    Generic FTDI in-circuit programming cable?

    Has anyone used any generic FTDI USB-RS232 cables in place of the traditional AXE027? Im looking at a more compact header design for doing in-circuit-programming on my projects, and found this http://www.tag-connect.com/TC2030-FTDI Looks like a nice setup, with the pogo pins and...

    circuit to drive MOSFET and relay from same PWM output?

    I tried several searches (relay pwm*, smooth pwm*, pwm* on* off*, pwm* darlington, etc) but couldnt really come up with anything that matched what I am looking for. Basically, I want to simultaneously drive a PWM solenoid valve, and actuate a standard electromechanical relay from the same PWM...

    PICAXE outputting PWM at the wrong frequency??

    After making do with a cheap chinese multimeter for years, I finally decided to treat myself to a "real" multimeter. So I picked up a nice shiny Fluke 87-V. I was eager to try out the frequency and duty-cycle readout capabilities of the 87-V so first thing I did when I opened up the box was try...

    Drive 1 LCD with multiple PICAXE's?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question...I tried searching but the closest topic/search-result I could find was the "opposite" question (which was "drive multiple LCD's with one PICAXE"). I just started playing around with LCD's for the first time today...I basically made my own "AXE133" with a...

    thermistor measuring problem

    For starters, this is NOT in a road-going vehicle, but I suppose it might be considered an "auto application", because its being used on an engine in a stationary dyno cell/room. I have the appropriate "clean power" circuits in place for the Picaxe 08m. What I am trying to do is "tap into" or...

    Erratic program operation in simulator, while similar program works fine???

    Im stumped on this one...the program is for a little Picaxe 14m2-driven controller that controls the transmission torque converter on an engine dyno. (not in a vehicle, just on a stationary dynomometer stand/room) It works perfectly, one button to lock the converter, one to unlock, and then a...

    18m2 "minimum" circuit

    Quick question about the minimum required OPERATING (not programming) circuit for running a program on an 18m2. Ive searched all around and read all the datasheets but could never really discern a clear answer about the new m2 parts. Hopefully im not being stupid and missed something obvious...
