Hi All. I'm at a bit of a loss, I'm building a Nixie Indoor/outdoor thermometer using a 20M2 and a HV5812. I'm using three of the PWM's to fade the RGB LEDs in and out, and another PWM to run the mosfet for the voltage booster. with all that going on I'm having trouble timing the display to read...

Hi All, I had a bit of a breakthrough last night and I "THINK" I've worked out how to send the 20 bits of data to the HV5812 in 2 lots of 10 bits which is perfect for nixies and VFD tubes. I'm interested in what others think of this code (glaring mistakes etc) and whether i could do it more...

Hi Guys, I'm trying to drive a couple of VDF tubes with a HV5812 but I have no idea how to communicate with the HV5812 with a picaxe. The circuit examples I have seen use clock, data and strobe inputs and apart from that I have no experience, nor can I find any information on how to do it, Can...

Hi I paid for a renewal and received an email with "licence.lxk" attachment. However when I try to run the file a window comes up and says that the file is on a network resource that is unavailable. I don't know what is going on, and I havn't got a reply from the company. So i was wondering if...

Hi' When I start VSM I get a message appear on my screen saying that my customer key has expired however when I agree to upgrade my subsciption I get sent to a web page from Labcentre which says that I have a "error with form data". I can't seem to work out what their on about, any ideas about...

Hi, I was wondering if the Programming Editor will run on a mini notebook computer using Windows CE 6.0 as the operating system. I can't seem to find out doing web searches? Thanks Tony

Hi, I have a problem which has beaten me, Yesterday I rebuilt the circuit with a brand new 14M and still I have THE problem. The attached program works fine when I am around during the day, no problems, however when I get up in the morning i don't get any response when I go to start the...

Hi, In Silicon Chip magazine it has a bit of a speil on the upcoming 18M2. It states that the 18M2 can now run 4 tasks in parallel. I was wondering what this means? Does it mean that it can run four programs at the same time? Thanks Tony

Hi I can't seem to find in the manual or on the forum whether the multiple interrupts on the x-2 devices can have their own routine, ie three different interrupt routines for three different interrupts off three seperate input pins. I understand that the pins are set. Thanks Tony

Hi I am playing around with a lcd direct connected to a Picaxe 18X. I have tried to do simulations using VSM to no avail so I thought I would breadboard it and see what happens..... I copied and pasted the program from the manual into Programming Editor and it runs in simulation untill the last...

Hi just a quick question. I am a new to this program and I can't seem to find a FRM010 in the parts list. Is this supported? Thanks Tony

Hi I have built a circuit on prototype board using a PICAXE 14M coupled to 2: 4511's using the data lines as per diagram in the manual, the 4511's are connected to the data lines in parallel. I then use outputs 4 and 5 of the PICAXE for the LE pins on the 4511's. In my program I use the "let...
