Hello.I'm new to this forum.
I've only had a picaxe for a week but already have had programming help here.
I bought a Cybot 14 years ago just for the wheel motor gear boxes and built a light seeking
while avoiding obstacle robot.
It used a 16f876 chip and was programmed in assembler.
The programmer was home made and used the parallel printer port
but the software stopped working after Win xp.
Now with a picaxe I can do in minutes what would have taken hours.
I wrote an obstacle avoiding program with pwm motor control and IR sensors
using the picaxe for 38KHz for IR leds.With some help from hippy it was much easier than assembler.
I'm also amazed at the various sensor devices and how cheap they are,
no more hours with a soldering iron.
I just sent off for some Ping clone ultra sonic rx/tx modules for £1.95 each.
They're were time consuming and expensive to make yourself and weren't that good.
Well,not the ones I made.
I think I'm going to have fun with picaxe.
