I guess this is it: <http://www.picaxe.com/docs/pe6.pdf>. If anyone knows of anything more comprehensive, please post it here.

Page 71 onwards of the Getting Started manual consists of nineteen pages of example tutorials (unless I'm looking at the wrong document). While useful, this is not what I meant. I was wondering if there was anything that actually documented all the features of the editor. My question is not an...

I have searched for something resembling a user guide and not found anything. Oddly, I've also not found mention of such a thing in this forum (assuming the search feature is working correctly and/or I'm using it correctly). Surely such a complex piece of software cannot exist without some sort...

There is mebbe one more thing more disappointing – seeing your PhD project go up in smoke :-(

Ok, consider me informed... clearly I need to do more reading. Trouble is, it's too easy to get diverted into watching YouTube videos of exciting battery fires.

I'm not an expert, but I suspect that paralleling unmatched lithium cells would be asking for trouble. [Scans 'Big Clive]... I think I like this guy ;-)

Duly noted, and I share your cynicism. Mine are PowerAdd Pilot X7s, obtained 'on offer' from a well-known online retailer whose name rhymes with Brabazon. I have three. As soon as possible, I will measure the true capacity and report back.

I'm embarrased to admit that, because I'd been using an old bookmark to access PICAXE hardware, I'd not found this. It would seem to offer an almost ready-made solution to my GPS plans, so many thanks for pointing it out. (It's funny how you can spend absolutely hours at a keyboard searching for...

Thanks for the explanation - all is now clear.

Many thanks for the very useful replies. I'm not sure why I didn't find Pete's posting, but it looks as if he's provided me with an almost ready-made solution, not to mention a great coding example. I hope in time I can make useful contributions back to this forum. I'd still be interested to...

Thanks for that tip! [searches...] Wow - lots of stuff. Will take me a while to read and digest. I'm still interested in AXE210 reports though. One 2014 thread (https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/gps-choice-gps010-or-gps001-and-axe211.26282/) refers to an AXE211 as a 'future product', and...

It's 2019 now and I cannot find any info on AXE211. What was it for, and will it appear?

As I started this thread, I'm posting a follow-up on the power issue. I've also started a new thread on GPS time that relates to the same project, now reactivated as the hapless intended recipient is getting married this summer. In the intervening couple of years Lithium Polymer batteries with...

I'm returning to my PICAXE projects after a couple of years of attempting to retire and failing ;-) I am iniitally constructing a digital clock with some unusual features, mainly using PICAXE modules. The time source is an Adafruit Chronodot RTC. All this ought to go smoothly - although I may...

I'd advise against those.I actually use the UK version as control for backup boost heating (with an oil-filled electric radiator), but the temperature control is pretty crude. Plus the remote eats batteries.
