    Monitor LCD values while running

    thanks, what I just realized is that I am pushing values into different positions of the LCD using code like the following. Will the serial monitor will be able to figure this out and position the text in the correct position? serout LCD, LCD_BAUD,(254,146) SerOut LCD, LCD_BAUD, ("0"...

    Monitor LCD values while running

    thanks - this worked, especially after I turned off the Display non ascii as text. However, the data does not line wrap at 20 chars like the LCD does. So I am having a problem reading the data. Is there a way to make it look like the LCD display in terms of formatting?

    Monitor LCD values while running

    Hi - I am using a Picaxe 40X2. The code to my LCD looks like this: serout D.2,T9600,("0",#TrackCurrent) The LCD I am using is a Sparkfun 20x40 serial LCD. I have two connectors on my circuit board. One programs the Picaxe (three pins). The other is also three pins and outputs to the LCD...

    Monitor LCD values while running

    HI - I know that you can see LCD values in the Picaxe editor simulator. What about if I am running live? I have my programming cable connected to the Picaxe. How can I see what it would be outputting to the LCD (without actually hooking an LCD up to the Picaxe)? Is there a way to do this? thanks

    Do loop while test

    Trying a do loop. While Variable1 > variable2 works While Variable1 > variable2 - 5 does not. Are parentheses required? Thanks

    Current sensing on PWM Motor

    Hi, I am using the attached circuit to drive two motors at the same speed via PWM. The Picaxe is on a separate 5V supply with common grounds, and this seems to be working fine. (the bridges and optocoupler are in there so I can detect whether current is being drawn - I don't think they affect...

    Download program to multiple Picaxes at once

    Is there a way to download a program file to multiple Picaxes at once? I have eight 40X2 Picaxes and I want to download the same program file to all of them. Right now I am plugging the 3.5 mm stereo plug into each one and downloading the program one at at time. Thanks

    Spark Fun Serial LCD command syntax

    Hi, I purchases a serial LCD from Spark Fun (http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/SerLCD_V2_5.PDF). I hooked it up to my PICAXE 28x2 and can send data to it which displays. For instance, my code: makes the display read: Speed=280 when the value of w27 is 280. So far so good, but I loop...

    pwm and servo on same chip, servo jitter

    Hi, I have one of the new 28X2 PICAXE chips and I am doing pwmout on pin B.0 and servo on B.5 (i.e., servopos). This seems to work ok, with one exception described below. The code that controls these loops through every 250 milliseconds. I also have my servo, my pwm-controlled motor and my...
