Soft pull-ups

Sorry - no matches

Someone suggested to use the chips "Soft pull-ups" instead of using a resistor to keep an input from floating. I had heard the term before somewhere, but I haven't found any reference to it on here. Is there a way to use this on a Picaxe???

Bang on.

Get the PIC Data Sheet for your device.
As BB says search the PDF for weak pullups.
And you'll find one or two registers to enable and set the weak pullups.
If you use b0 as the variable for your poke value then you conveniently set individual bits by name as bit3 for example.

I'll add just one thing; if you are trying to make a super-low-power design thern forget them.

Or maybe westaust can look through the PIC Data Sheet for you?
