Is there any reason why I can't change the target Picaxe from a 18M2 to something more pcb friendly like a 20M2 or 20X2?

Thanks to PaulRB and Hippy for the help they didn't know they gave ;) When you can't get your AXE027 working with a more recent install of Linux (openSuse 12.3 64bit in my case) then follow this post in addition to the AXE027 documentation...

I'm new to Linux and trying to get away from Microsoft dominance. I'm unable to get Linaxepad to install on my system running Open Suse 12.3 64 bit. I've extracted the files from the archive to /Home/LinAXEpad, done the bit where you have to change permissions for all the files in the...

I'm fairly new to SMT. Only made less than 10 boards using the frying pan method. I'm getting a little fed up with using a cocktail stick and a magnifier to apply solder paste to my surface mount boards and was wondering what other people do? I could get a stencil made commercially, but, I...

My lovely brother gave me a URF/ERF pair for christmas. I love my brother :) Questions 1: The datasheet says "The optimum chip antenna orientation is when laid flat, so best results are generally obtained when the URF PCB is laid flat (parallel with the floor)." Whilst I don't doubt...

I haven't seen one of these on here for a while so I thought I'd share mine......

A quick question with reference to the attached schematic. The circuit uses a MIC2940A-5.0 fixed 5v LDO voltage regulator. The datasheet recomends an output capacitor of at least 10uF and it must be low ESR. OK, no problem with that I just bought some nice 15uF Sanyo Aluminum solid capacitors...

I'm designing a 'M2 parts' project board for my own use and just wondered if I was safe connecting all the Serial Out pins together or would I be better off using jumpers as in the I2C bus of my attached schematic? Steve

Hi guys, I've been reading this forum for quite some time and am very impressed with the knowledge available and advice freely given. <grovel grovel> I'm trying to set up an ID12 rfid reader to read glass rfid tags attached underneath 'N' guage model railway rolling stock. The idea is to place...
