Pin 2 is fine, I'll try moving the caps closer to picaxe.

Looks like it didn't work. I briefly shorted the rails before adding power. Also used a 4.7K resistor across the rails and removed the electrolytic cap. Any idea as to why this thing is playing up? The program running on it now works fine and i can swap the chip to another 08M2 which downloads...

Just using the starter pcb, One chip will download a program and the other won't. Yet they both still operate with the current code on them.

I have used the serrxd command on two of my chips, meaning if i wish to program them i have to perform a hard reset. The issue is that one of my picaxe chips will reset and download a new program just fine while the other won't. I simply program the 'good' chip, swap it for the other and perform...

Please read the whole text below and view the attached photos using the link, Thanks! First off I have 2 08M2 chips which i have been using all last week. They both have the same code on them which uses serrxd to control 3 LEDs. The issues I am having is that suddenly I can't program my chips...

Hi guys, at the minute i have two 08M2's communicating with each other through IR and I wish to use the debug command to check what commands are being sent to the IR Rx. I also just want to try the debugging feature out purely because it seems very useful. Basically I've been searching for a way...

Hi, I recently bought a two-tone siren as I am building a motorcycle alarm with a PICAXE 08M2. Heres a link to the item: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/two-tone-mini-siren-ku65v I'm sure it operates at a range of voltages but it says 12V on the bottom and i'll be linking it up to my 12V bike battery...

I have a Canon DSLR that enables the use of a remote trigger. I can use a small 2.5mm jack to connect to the camera then connect the other end to my Picaxe 08M2. I would need to make the picaxe trigger the cameras shutter at least every 5 minutes depending on the photography i'm doing. Is it...

Hi, I have a surround sound system but lost the remote and it's hard to find a replacement for it. I also have an IR transmitter LED and a Picaxe 08M2 and thought I would build a basic remote myself. The only problem is, i'm not sure how it really works. I know that the Tx will send out light in...

I have a picaxe 08m2 in a small breadboard. Leg 2 has a 10k resistor connected to 0v and i have a 470ohm resistor protecting an led on leg 7. I'm using a USB cable to power the picaxe so its about 5 volts. I was told to connect a little capacitor from 5v-0v for stability i think. The led wont...

I don't know how to use the serial in pin as an input. Also, does the 22k resistor on that pin have to connect to + or -? Thanks

Just got my picaxe working. I'm trying to use an if statement to use a switch for turning LED's on/off, but for some strange reason the switch doesn't do anything! it has also created a proximity sensor around the positive wire, if my finger gets close to the wire it will activate the switch...

This is a drawing of what it looks like when the program runs incorrectly. When i connect a wire from 5v to the serial out pin the program works but the picaxe heats up!! I know where to add the resistor but where on the breadboard do i put the capacitor? I really want to get this picaxe working

Hey im sort of new to electronics and bought my first picaxe yesterday, 08m2 version. I soldered the protoboard components and downloaded my basic code to the picaxe. When i attach my input/output components to the protoboard the program runs fine, My problem is that when i then take my picaxe...
