too latemaybe tongue in cheeck, but if not already done, you could steer clear of the house work, download and maybe even print off (double sided of course) the three parts to the PICAXE manuals and have a good read through them in preparation for you hands on commencement tomorrow.

beacuse it was 1am in the morning. too tired to smile.Great to hear it works. Getting over that first hurdle is always satisfying.
So, why aren't you smiling?
not enough sarcasm in my posts. hmmm, i'll get right on that"maybe I'll add a flashing LED just for fun! no one ever does that anymore, right?"
- most people add a standard LED and make it flash
on the 14m.Well spotted Murray,
clearly a 14M in the picture.
So what did you run that 18X code on tater?
The programming Editor would have identified that the actual PICAXE (14M) did not match the directive when you tried to download and stopped at that point.on the 14m.
would it have worked anyway? at worst i could have just remmed it out
The directive within the program code will have precedence over the settings in the Options Menu.I had renamed it after i loaded it, but also had the options set for the 14m
if the two were differnt, would an error show up or which would over-ride?
