Hi Guys Thanks for your help - Alans soulution really worked. I didn't realise that a variable couldbe set to a negative number. Yessir.

Hi I have been experimenting with a Robertsonics WAV Trigger for mixing audio tracks using the serial output from a Picaxe 08M2 to control it. robertsonics WAV Trigger I have been successful in controlling most functions on the such as Start / Stop / Pause / Resume / Loop tracks, however I am...

Hello I am having some problems with Touch16 command on an 08M2 chip. I am using all the pins on the chip including pin c.5 as a digital input from an external switch. (I use the Disconnect command after the program starts to ensure pin c.5 works correctly). If the external switch is open and...

Hippy - I think that you have correctly identified the problem. I am obtaining the position of the servo by reading the low byte followed immediately by the high byte. I have done a bit more work with the data in a spreadsheet and come up with the attached table which shows a typical error...

Hi I am currently working on a project using an SD21 servo control board with a Picaxe 18M2. I am controlling a number of servos using the position and speed registers in a continuous cycle and using the SD21 servo feedback registers to trigger events when a servo reaches 80% of its stroke. I...

Thanks for all the comments - I am afraid that I don't work in TV (as you can probably tell from my focusing on the video) and I think it would take a long time to get to New Zealand because in anything other than a gently breeze it is one stroke forwards and then get blown backwards again! I...

Hi I thought I would just share a few pictures and video clips of my most recent Picaxe project. I have scratch built a model rowing boat complete with a rowing man using a modified Action Man toy. The body of the Action Man contains 4 servos to operate each arm, his back movement and his head...

Hi, I have a project where I want to make a random decision to turn left or right using an 18M2 picaxe. My idea is to to use 'Random' to generate a random word variable and then compare the two associated byte variables. If the lower byte > higher byte then turn left else if the lower byte <...

Hello, I am looking at a project which uses an AXE023 motor driver board with 08M2 chip to drive a small motor in both directions. I would like to control the speed of the motor so I was going to use a PWMOUT and PWMDUTY, however I notice that the 08M2 only has one PWM pin available on pin c.2...

I have been using my Axe027 USB download cable for several years without difficulties. Just recently I have started experiencing intermittent problems when plugging the USB cable in to my computer. Sometimes it is recognised by Windows and runs perfectly, on other occasions I plug it in but...

I am currently working on a project to control a small water pump using AXE023 Motor Driver Board. I have replaced the supplied Picaxe 08 with a new 08M2, and I am powering the board with a 3 volt supply (2 x 1.5V AA cells). I want to use input 3 (pin c.3 on the 08M2) to sense if an external 12...

Thought I would just share the project which I have been working on for the last 18 months with you. I originally built the model of the Mannin dredger about 8 years ago, with everything being operated via radio control. Unfortuantely sailing the model (controlling throttle & rudder) and...

I am using a Picaxe 18x to control a servo on output pin 0 using the Servo & Servpos commands. After I have sent a Servopos update I then want to change the status of several LED's on output pins 1 - 4. My code at the moment is using Servopos on pin 0 followed by multiple High / Low commands on...

I am having a problem with the SD21 servo control board. When I power it up all the connected servos appear to default to their mid position. This is fine except two servos which I want to default to an end position. On power up these two servos move to their mid position first and then return...

I have a program which is set up to operate in 2 x modes (I have called them auto & manual). In auto mode I have an interrupt set to jump to manual mode when pin 6 is high. The problem that I have is I don't want to resume in auto mode after the interrupt has completed - I just want to return to...
