    Editor will not install

    Downloaded the latest version of the software "picaxeeditor6" but it comes up with an error almost at the end of the install and "rolls back" the installation. I have just done a fresh re-install of windows 7 on a 32 bit machine. Included a screenshot pic of the error. Has this been a problem...

    Minor detail(join date)

    Just noticed on many senior member postings that their join date is all the same i.e. Jan 1970 I, for one, didn't get a PC until about 1986 and internet until about 1995. Bit of a glitch somewhere..??

    Clarify pulsein please

    In the example code I found, does the W1 register become over written on each loop..?? main: pulsin C.3,1,w1 ; record the length of a pulse on C.3 into w1 debug ; report the result goto main ; and repeat

    Possibility of picaxe as Degrees rotation display

    Presently working with others on pic ignition. Thought i'd try to do my bit with a degrees delay LCD readout and thought I'd ask here first to see if it is feasible with picaxe. Thought was take existing pulse input from hall effect and from existing micro delay output, store the time and...

    Assembler programming

    Looked in "axe001 programmer.pdf" page 2 and it says " click file ...new template to open a new template" When I do i am presented with 3 ...all with programs already written in them and all with .bas extension. If I expand "file type" at the bottom to "all" then another 6 appear with chip...

    auto advance ignition

    Thinking about making auto advance ignition for a miniature multi-cylinder engine I am currently building and need a couple of guidelines. For a starter, now that the 08m2 is available with high speed, perhaps any previous drawback there can be eliminated. The idea was, as most are, to position...

    posting code

    Anyone care to give a straightforward answer on how to post code here. I asked before but only been referred to FAQ which I have tried every way that I can with zero success.

    RC input

    Where would I find information on minus step values and how to implement?? Trying to use rc input to generate a 3.3 volt output from the neutral position of the throttle stick in both directions. i.e. zero to 3.3 forward and zero to 3.3 reverse. I have the first bit (iI think) but need to find...

    ADC out

    Need to input r/c receiver pulse 1 to 2 ms and use this to generate a proportional out voltage. I have thought about generating a mark/space signal as an output and then perhaps smooth it with a cap. Much like a flashing led. Question is........ other than the scan rate would there be other...

    08 interchangable with 08m

    I have small program that was written for an 08 chip but it doesn't seem to want to work the same in an 08m. Hardware still uses the same input and out put pins. Are there differences apart from the memory size..??

    Model Boat Tacho

    Project is for 1/5 scale of a Rivierra model boat from the 1940's. Already had a circuit built providing a 0-5V signal to an LED display for the readout and decided to change the latter to a 270 degree gauge which would look more appropriate. So the code here is for converting the 0-5V...

    code question

    New to this so if it has been covered before, please redirect. Trying to get to the meaning of init: Wherever I see it in the manuals, it is used in conjunction with an example of another label such as below. I can't seem to find any real explanation. I can only imagine it sets up the internals...

    newby problem

    First attempt at programming and started with what I thought to be a fairly simple program but can't get it to work. Basically stripped the servorobotarm.pdf down to one servo and programmed into an 08M but all it does is runs hard to one end of the servo travel. Copy of program below. `Boat...
