Hello everyone,
It is my first post here and I hope I can learn a lot from you. I got to know about PICAXE from a friend and he told me it is easy to use and more cost effective than other microcontrollers.
I am working on a self project. What I need to do is control (enable, disable) a number of 8 DPST relays via RS232. That is I have a program in visual C# that have 8 buttons and only 1 button can be enabled at a time.
So the idea is by clicking a button a relay will go Enabled (and if before clicking that button a relay was already ON, it will be OFF before the new relay goes ON). Writing and transmiting the serial code in C# would not be a problem for me.
All I want to know (at the moment ) is what kind of PICAXE will be my best option to start with?
Thanks,
Sean.
