Hi everyone.
Im brand new to picaxe and Ive been looking around over the last few days doing some research and I have a question for you all wise ones.
What i want to do:
I work in theatre in the auditorium with patrons very close to me. What i would like to do is make a silent com system consisting of 2 small lightweight portable boxes with a screen eg 40x2 or large LCD that can do large font & a keyboard and link them together and be able to type a message on one keyboard and have it display on the other boxes screen.
For a bit more complexity I want it to be able to make a beep in the receiving box & also control the back light so it is off until a message is received then turns on for a time then goes off again & I would like to be able to use the 'F' keys to print an often used word eg. pressing 'F1' '1' 'F2' = Mic 1 Not Working
Oh and the cable to link them together has to be 3 Pin Mic cable eg shield + 2 cores, the power doesnt have to be run on here I can have power supplies for both boxes.
Is this possible with a picaxe or do i need something else?
I know this will be a huge learning curve for me in programing something like this but if it will do what i want i am willing to put in the effort.
Thank you for your advice in advanced
Tom
