    dot matrix

    Wells i got a max of 245ma with all leds lit, I ordered some 20x2s also .... and made a dc-dc buck converter that will handle 4amps when i get the 20x2 i'm going to start with xtech007's code unless someone has a reference to another

    dot matrix

    I bought five of those eBay max7219 8x8 dot matrix kits, it didn't have a datasheet with it but google tells me that it may require up to 2 amps each? Is anyone familiar with these? I should be able to set them up in cascade by connecting one with dout pin to the next with din pin?

    Comparator function of a 28x2

    What would be the problem if i were to use a vary low value resister like the diagram shows? I would get 4.995 volts which would give me better resolution. the only difference i see is a amperage draw of that circuit is about 50ma(from source to resister not connected to picaxe pin) and with...

    Adding minutes from i2c eeprom

    I have a program that counts hours and minutes when slot 1 runs, when the program shuts down it stores hours info in i2c eeprom like so setfreq em32 #slot 1 ;#terminal 38400 #no_data #no_table keeptime: do if pinC.5 = 1 then gosub xxsecs ; 1hz signal if pinC.7 = 1 then...

    Comparator function of a 28x2

    I'm trying to figure out how the comparator function of a 28x2 works. I want to hook up a two wire fuel sender(the type you see in older cars) to it. One wire goes to ground with the other wire will be in a voltage divider type setup reading .5v(full) to 3.0v(empty) or so. My question is will...

    Change Lcd RS to B port?

    I have a lcd running in 4bit mode successfully on a 20m2 with int setup like so symbol E = c.7 symbol RS = c.5 int: let dirsC = %10011111 I tried this with RS on b.6 but failed int: let dirsC = %10001111 let dirsb = %00000010 Is it possible to change RS to the B port side...

    lcd to serial or i2c?

    No Paix, No problems in Houston, a little chilly tho:) hippy I copied the AXE133Y Firmware and adapted it to the 20m2 i have some doubts tho:rolleyes: symbol baud = N2400_16 ; Serial baud rate 2400,N,8,1. Note main program runs at 16MHz this actually means it will run at three times the...

    lcd to serial or i2c?

    So oi bought a 2x16 LCD and connected it parallel, I want to use it to display variables like i2c info but searching on how to do this yields little to no info, so I'm planning on sacrificing a chip and turning it into a serial LCD or i2c.. Please advice which should be better.
