thanks ecclectic just so everyone knows this is no uni project just a bit of fun
im trying to make a game controller app for picaxe chips.
i.e. you can control games using customised controllers made from picaxe chips
so this is how i think it may work (trial run coming to a compiler near you)
take a key input from a switch (i.e. input 1,2,3,4,5,6)
recognise which key input it is (if statement)
then use the bit from the manual as below to send a signal to a PS2 Connector
serout 1,N2400,(“Hello”)- Sends a message to the screen.
serout 1,N2400,(10) - Sends a direct ASCII instruction to the screen.
serout 1,N2400,(b1) - Sends an ASCII character stored in variable to the screen.
serout 1,N2400,(#b1) - Sends a number stored in a variable to the screen.
serin 0,N2400,b1 - Receives an ASCII character from a keypress on the
keyboard and stores it as the ASCII value in a variable (b1)
serin 0,N2400,#b1 - Receives a real number from the number keys on the
keyboard and stores it in a variable (b1)
please can someone tell me if im on the right lines. Ill write the code up later on tonight and put it on to a 40x tomorrow
