      bpowell replied to the thread Scrivere su eeprom 24C256.
      Start smaller ... just write a program to send ONE BYTE to the EEPROM ... at a specified address ... then, READ that BYTE back and...

      bpowell replied to the thread Project viability - LED controllers.
      Well, it's *doable* ... but not easy. Start with 2 PICAXE and 8 LED each ... you'll have to work up your serial protocol to address them...

      bpowell replied to the thread Project viability - LED controllers.
      "Hundreds of LEDs" ... are you meaning addressable LED strips? If so, I don't think the PICAXE is what you're looking for. I think there...

      bpowell replied to the thread Temperature protection.
      Hard to say ... it's possible the power supply itself overheated? Perhaps it *does* have a temperature protection of some kind...

      bpowell replied to the thread Bootstrap code..
      Close. The PICAXE firmware ("Interpreter") code is stored on the PIC's Flash memory (By Rev-Ed). The PICAXE firmware will take a user...

      bpowell replied to the thread Ridiculous PicAxe Sale.
      Ha, I if I were still using 12F1840's ... it's cheaper to buy a 08M2 from this sale than it is to buy the raw PIC from Mouser! Yeesh!

      bpowell replied to the thread Temperature protection.
      No, the PIC chips the PICAXE are based on have no temperature protection. Further, providing you're giving the chip the correct amount...

      bpowell replied to the thread Bootstrap code..
      Yes, a bulk erase will erase the FLASH (where the PICAXE firmware along with any user code is stored). However, when you're uploading...

      bpowell replied to the thread Bootstrap code..
      On a majority of the PICAXE chips, the firmware ("Bootstrap code") is located in Flash memory ... Flash memory is *also* where your...

      bpowell replied to the thread Programming over Bluetooth.
      I don't think so .... the "break signal" is just pulling the TX line low for a period of time ... more than a single character would...

      bpowell replied to the thread Programming over Bluetooth.
      I'm sure it could be done ... but you'd probably need some kind of MCU on the bluetooth receiving end to handle the actual serial...

      Yeah, I think that's the next big step ... persistence in conversations .... *that* will make things exciting!

      bpowell replied to the thread Best way to program multiple picaxes 'in circuit'?.
      The download process is bi-directional ... the programmer (PC) Reaches out, the PICAXE replies back ... then the programmer starts...
