    Hippy Version 3.0

    I worked only a year longer before I hung-up the apron (IT 30+). Even years later I'm still called for solutions to system problems. I'm only a newbie here using these great little chips, but I've always liked your code snippets and comments. Good Luck and the best of health in the coming...

    Best way to generate an accurate 1Hz signal?

    Thanks for the link to Universal-solder. I didn't know about them and only a 6 hour drive from home, 8)

    Best way to generate an accurate 1Hz signal?

    Be careful using this module. Mine came with a CR2032, not the rechargeable one. I just moved this resistor (201) to disable the charging circuit.

    DS18B20 Does readtemp12 set configuration register to 12bit?

    I've been given a hand full of these (DS18B20) temperature sensors. They are known to be counterfeit. During testing with readtemp12 they are all resolving 11BITs or a step of 0.125. This could mean the EEPROM has been set or the configuration register cannot be written to. I've probably...

    Simulating macros

    I have the same issue with macros. My only solution, was to make it a regular subroutine to debug. Another thing with macros is they can use up a lot of memory, so I try to keep them short and to the point.

    PICAXE 08M2 via I2C PCF8574 8-Bit I/O Port Expander driving a 20x4 LCD

    This is a DEMO of a PICAXE 08M2 using a PCF8574 I2C 8-Bit I/O Port Expander driving a standard 20x4 Blue LCD display. This code is part of a library that will be used for a future build (or re-build) of a QRSS transmitter. The transmitter frequency will be created from a SI5351 I2C configurable...

    Simplified Morse Code ID/Beacon Generator 08M2

    The ease at which to program the PICAXE is truly astounding. I thought a Morse code generator would be a “NO BRAINER” but was caught off guard. There are so many different ways to create this type of code. Most programs need the user to map the ASCII to a binary code to create the data...

    Simple IR (Infrared) Receiver Serial Keypad 08M2

    Purpose: Use the IR remote to enter a number from 1 to 65535. Data to be sent via the Sertxd to a terminal. Originally, this code was written to command a vintage Kenwood TS-680S radio to QSY (change to another frequency). I only needed to be within a kHz from 500 to 53999. Numbers...

    PICAXE-08M2 DAC sample rate

    DUH!, I must have missed something, somewhere. I just realized that you can nest #define, cool. Sorry for being a bit slow. :geek:

    Development Board AXE091 full Schematic

    THANKS for schematics! This old thread still useful. I was really wanting the AXE091. There is one supplier in this side of the pond, but had to be put on a waiting list. Guess what I found at a local HAMFEST! A complete AXE091 PICAXE Experimenter Kit (SERIAL), yup! DB9...

    DesignSpark PCB Link not working.

    DesignSpark PCB Link on the free software page doesn't work. Displays Secure Connection Failed. Editing (re. hacking) the link take you to https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/pcb-software. Is this the same software? Doesn't look free. Oh I haven't yet search the site. There seems to be a...

    Displaying Hex Numbers

    Hippy always has the fastest and minimalist code ever. Works for me. An OLED (SSD1315) dump of a few bytes on Page 0 from the 24LC16B connected via I2C to a 08M2.

    Silly Question: Can the TVR010 codes be remapped?

    Thank-you Hippy, That's the missing bit of info. I knew I've read it somewhere about pre-processor and conditional directives, SIMULATING is not described in the PDF version of the manual. Should have checked the online manual. My project is pretty well completed already (most of the coding...

    Silly Question: Can the TVR010 codes be remapped?

    Ya, I see the confusion. It's not an April Fools joke. 1) I have a SONY remote that works with IRIN. Doesn't put out the same codes. 2) The IDE simulator has a TVR010 modeled and sends it's own codes. What I would like to know if I could replace the simulator codes with my remote codes...

    My hobby Picaxe Basic source code.

    What a great collection of projects! I really like your GE radio project. I have a similar idea to gut an old radio and Bluetooth it. Collecting and repairing vintage tube (UK valve) radios is becoming more difficult, as parts are scarce. Some radios were sacrificed for parts.

    Silly Question: Can the TVR010 codes be remapped?

    Howdy! I might be shooting myself in the foot with this question. Can the TVR010 simulation be remapped with different result codes? WHY? Because I don't have SONY TV remote to work with. I DO have a SONY CD/TUNER remote that works with IRIN. This will reduce the programming cycle I have now...

    Manual error - on goto and branch

    OOPs my mistake, the inc b1 would never be executed. Would be stuck in a loop with b.0 high all the time. Here is the correct code (tested, working) . In reset1: BNT4 was missing and the reset value for b1 should be -1. #picaxe 14m2 reset1: let b1 = -1 low b.0 low b.1 low...
