    Variable Frequency, Fixed Duty Cycle PWM

    Hello! I'm looking to create a clock to drive a MAX7401 filter (datasheet: http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX7401-MAX7405.pdf) using an 08M2. The datasheet states that a clock with a 40-60% duty cycle powered from 0 to VDD (5v for the 7401) should be used. The equation to determine...

    Reading a Clock Output and printing to LCD

    Hello! I have a project that puts out simpe on/off 0-5V signal clock frequency for a low frequency oscillator. The oscillator varies in period between 100Hz and 0.025Hz (10ms to 40s). I'm looking at using an 08M2 to read that clock output, convert it to beats per minute (simply 60,000/ms =...

    Code for altering sequence time?

    Hello, I'm working on a 8 segment sequencer with the 20M2. I can currently figure out how to cause a string of 8 outputs to go high and low in succession with only 1 pin being high at all times. I use the wait command between pins then restart the code. That's pretty archaic. I was wondering...

    PWM for Transistor Switching

    Hello! I'm working on an idea currently (code to come later, if the idea fleshs out well) for using the PWM out of the PICAXE to the base of a BC560 (or similar) transistors acting as a current controlled resistors. There are many levels of things I don't understand, so I'll start with the...

    Driving LED bar graphs

    As my second PICAXE project, I'd like to work with LED bar graphs, such as these: Possibly using LM3914 bar graph driver trips: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm3914.pdf The idea is to use eight 10 LED bar graphs linearly lined up to show the position of a 10k potentiometer. Before I...

    Beginner coding: toggling pins

    Hello! First post; first code! I don't have a picaxe to try it out on, but I thought I'd run it past the picaxe brain trust. Overview: I have a 2x4 array of NO momentary buttons which, upon closure, supply 5v. Each switch is destined to control two switches in a CD4066 (datasheet). One...
