hello all,
I will start by saying this is my first post in your (from reading so far) quite simply brilliant forum, and i hope to stick about and learn alot from everybody here.
however i shall get to the reason i am here.
as part of an ongoing project, i am attempting to use a sharp IR sensor, PICAXE 18m2 and a serial OLED display to actively display range at a refresh rate of around 2hz
I did a reasonable amount of pbasic programming in high school, but that was a few years back and my code her slipped baddly :/
here is my equipment list:
sensor: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Sensitivity-Sharp-IR-Sensor-GP2D12-Arduino-Compatible?item=280850827766&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=8151708283767129697#ht_5075wt_1163
main board: http://www.picaxe.com/Hardware/Teaching-Systems/PICAXE-Experimenter-Board/
display: http://www.picaxe.com/Hardware/Add-on-Modules/Budget-Serial-OLED-Module/
my current setup is such that, everything is connected up, and i am recieving the default message from the display "serial oled www.picaxe.com"
however, i cannot seem to get anything else to output, and am even unsure if i can correctly reading the adc.
its been a long time guys, and i need this board to be working by next friday at the very latest, you have no idea how much i would appreciate your help
