PE6 Live Simulate

I have a question.

I installed PE6 the other day I am using version 6.0.9.2, I just checked for an update, and it says that I am up to date. My question is about the Simulate - Connect to real-life Picaxe. It says that this is currently disabled in this beta version.

I have searched the Forum but cannot find anything about this. Is there a date planned when this feature could become available?

Actually I did find this from HIPPY 6/9/2012 Quote. There is the "Live ICE" function of Logicator. Use Simulate -> Connect (Live ICE) then Simulate -> Run. Unquote.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

"Live ICE" is a current capability of Logicator but a future capability for PE6. There is no date set for its availability in PE6.

Thanks, out of curiosity I installed Logicator. It seems incredibly similar to PE6, only the UI is slightly different. However, I tried "Live ICE" and get exactly the same ...disabled in beta.... message. Maybe I have to remove PE6? Anyway, it is more of a curiosity than a need!

Are you sure you actually have and ran Logicator, that it wasn't an "Invalid PICAXE type" error message ?

On closer inspection I can see that my Logicator UI does not look quite like the one in the Obsolete - Logicator for PICAXE section. I downloaded and installed the one titled Logicator for PICAXE 6 (approx 92MB). I see that there is an older one called Logicator for PICAXE Installer (Old Version 3.7.0 (approx 40MB) for XP, Vista, 7, 8)

I did not try that one, as I am on W10.

I attach a screen shot of Logicator overlaying PE6

For me there was nothing showing as an image, though I could see the link when I replied and can see the image when I copy and paste that into my browser.

What you have there is "PE6", and "PE6 working in flowchart/Logicator mode", both PE6 version 6.0.9.2, not the old "Logicator" version 3.7.0 which you have now found.

The "Live ICE" only works with the old Logicator.

Aah, thanks, I see that the PE6 Logicator that I installed has been removed from the Obsolete section. But within the Obsolete - Logicator for Picaxe there is some text that tells me to use the new version in PE6. It looks like I am a few weeks too early?

How does one correctly remove Logicator for PE 6 (Toolbar) ?

Off subject. There appears to be a problem uploading images, I have tried from two PC's using Chrome and MS Edge and both fail, see image. Which somehow did get uploaded after many attempts. Insert URL version seems Ok, using Dropbox
