Hello all! I am having a heck of a time trying to get this software (as recommended by the PICAXE Home Page) to run. This is why I am posting in Active PICAXE Forum because PICAXE Home Page lists this software, not some other 3rd party application. In any case I downloaded the file...

What you're looking for, as I understand it, is a circuit simulator app. Something where you can just grab parts, place them, connect to stuff, and see how it all works. Eagle is great for PCB design, but doesn't seem like what you're looking for. So rather than try to convince you that you need...

Hello all! Thank you for taking the time to read/reply my thread. This weekend I came up with (what I hope to be) a fun toy-ish type of project for my kids. What I aim to do is use PVC pipe, two total pieces with one smaller in diameter than the other; three long & wide pieces of glass to make...

While reading through the manuals and getting more general information with respect to each chip, I noticed that each pin can sink or source 20mA. After doing some digging on other current sources, mainly for driving multiple LEDs, a thought came to me and I was hoping to get some clarity on...

I have tried programming a very simple program several times. The program is as follows... Main: pinC.2 High Pause 500 pinC.2 Low Pause 500 pinC.2 High Pause 1000 pinC.2 Low Pause 1000 pinC.2 High Pause 1500 pinC.2 Low Pause 1500 GoTo Main End No matter what I put in after Main: the...

Last screen grab...

Yes I did go through it and followed the steps. I got a lot of progress. When I tried to reprogram the picaxe it failed (forgot to put chip back in socket, doh!) but when I retried with it back in it reported the same initial error as before. The dialout command used was unnecessary as terminal...

I am using Ubuntu 13.04. I am using an AXE 027 cable. I have followed the documentation in the AXE027 guide to no avail. The following error is shown. This website's "solution" also did not change or help at all.Link. This seems to be a common issue with no common solution as everything...

Hello friends! Finally got new PICAXE chips in yesterday and I wanted to get a confirmation on a couple questions I had before I supply some voltage and get the magic blue smoke. So, with that being said... 1.) Can a 9V battery be used with a 5V Regulator (LM7805) to be a power source for the...

Hello friends! A project that I am undertaking requires a square wave, reasonably fast, anywhere from 700KHz up to 35MHz is prime target range. Preference is for 4-30MHz for the given application. The datasheet on the 08M2 and 18M2+ both specify the maximum frequency as set by the internal...

Hello friends! I want to buy picaxe microcontrollers to do a lot of projects I have in mind. But there is a problem that I cannot find a solution to on the WWW or datasheets/manuals or YouTube etc. The problem is I cannot get a definitive answer to a question I have. Why do all kits and chips...
