Hi all, Sorry to repeat threads again, I have searched and not seen anything similar to what I'm trying to achieve. I'm trying to make a blue and white led matrix that flashes the leds on and off to a set pattern to start with, and then maybe move on to doing it as a randomly selected leds...

finally everything arrived and i had time today to get it all setup and running. the code is working up until the point of the actual stepper motor turning. So when the input goes high to trigger the motor and the leds, the uln board flashes its leds as its trying to do something but the...

Hi all, FINALLY!!! decided on a new project, taken long enough. I'm deep in the stages of planning, selecting components and designing layouts. But I have come to a stop on one part and would like to ask your help. For one part of it I need a linear upwards motion of about 10 cm, like an...

Hi all, its been a very long time. not done any projects for a few years and am now getting back into it as have come up with a plan I would like to achieve! I have decided to build a RC bus from scratch. (god help me) I'm breaking all the circuits required down into separate ones before...

i have built a few rc projects, with some great success :) i want to build something else, but cant think what can you give me some ideas... projects so far are 1) rc switch 2) indicators for rc truck 3) warning beacons with rc switch 4) full lighting system for a rc truck, indicators...

Hi, Hopefully one day i might actually be able to help people and answer questions rather than always asking them and taking up your time :o I built a indicator circuit for one of my model trucks. I have it working on strip board, and now i want to attempt getting it onto pcb. I have...

Hi, been trying to use this command with little to no success.... what i want to do is run an led at 50% its brightness, then from a switch increase to 100% brightness...switch off returns to 50% all that keeps happening is a pulsing... which is the best command and do you have any...

Hi, I'm sure this is straight forward, and one of you wizards will tell me instantly... i have 2 tactile switches on my circuit, do i need to debounce them with a picaxe or can they just be left how they are straight connected... longest any button will be pressed is 2 seconds. and no matter...

Hi, what im trying to achieve is an rc switch.. simple on off operation nothing else. i have been doing some research and have figured out my best option is the pulsein command. I have set this up and come to the conclusion... that the 1 - 255 act as ms... example 150 = 1.5ms is this correct ...

Hi, im new to picaxe. I downloaded the program editor software and the flow charting one. I purchased the USB and serial cable with some 08 picaxes. I also thought i would get my first board from rkeducation as they where cheap just incase i hated it....RKP08LP My problem is the computer...
