I have modified the CHI035 power board so that it can be powered by a single car battery (12.8v when fully charged). I followed the steps stated in the pdf for the mods and the board works fine, however I noticed that the sole capacitor on the board is getting really hot. As I need the board to...

This code is meant to pause for the amount set by a pot (from 1 to 60 seconds): I tested with pollingInterval variable set at 10, 25 and 50ms. An expected 60s pause took 10ms -2m 28s 25ms - 1m 35s 50ms - 1m 17s respectively. There is not that much code executing but the poling interval has a...

I'm trying to establish a connection between an ir led and a photo modulator using an picaxe 18m2 on a chi035 board. Ir led is a TSAL5100 Photo modulator is a TSOP34838 38KHz I'm using the command pwmout b.3, 25, 51 so that my ir led transmits at 38KHz. The camera on my phone confirms that...

Hi Hippy! It's a standard switch alright. Something weird is going on here and I suspect it's me being stupid. I am using the chi035 with a 12v supply. I installed a 78L05 on the board, removed the wire link below it. I also removed 10k resistors R7 and R8 so that I can use a pot on C0. When...

Blown chi035 board In my infinite ignorance to do with all electronic things I've managed to blow something up on my chi035 board after less than a day of playing with it.:( As a result pins b1 b2 and b3 are reading 2.9v on multimeter when they should be 0. I'm not entirely sure but I have a...

Great, thanks for you reply on both threads. Your help is very much appreciated! I can't use C.0 anc C.1 as I need to have a pot connected on one of them. I will test the system as is, with the big old loop, and see how it performs. Will probably need interrupt as you suggested as there's a...

Here's my third chi035 question :D I want to minimise components off the power board as much as possible. I'm using a 3 way switch to set system mode. As I have lots of input pins to spare, would the above setup be ok paired with code along the lines of: ; INPUTS symbol swchPosTimed = c.6...

I just received my first picaxe chip (18m2) together with a chi035 power board. The board is powered with a 12v car battery. I did the required mods to the board. I installed the usb cable drivers and downloaded the program to the chip successfully. The following program which should simply...

Hello , I have 2 questions regarding the CHI035 board... 1) I want to power it with a 12v car battery. The pdf document states that for a single Battery Pack 7.5-12v I must use a regulator. My car battery is around 12.7V and when my engine is running it's around 13.5v. Will this be a problem...

I'm using a 18m2 for my project (single process). A call to a subprocedure calls pwmout on the b.3 pin to run an ir led at 38khz. Processing then returns to main procedure... Functionality requires an alarm to be activated at some point, following which other processing still takes place with...

Hi folks. First of all let me point out that I have no experience with picaxe, some very basic electronics knowledge and a background in software engineering. I would very much appreciate if someone could answer my questions posed below. The system is powered by a 12V car battery. Inputs are...
