Hi there, I am evaluating to buy the CHI035 high power board (using 18M2) but I am not sure wether I understand correctly what it says in the Manual 2 Page 167: * On older PICAXE parts the same internal timer (timer2) is used for both pwmout and servo, so these commands cannot be used at the...

I found this thext in the manual 2 about serin (Page 207) and I am a bit concerned about the consequences: All 8 and 14 pin - Due to the internal structure of input3 (C.3) on these chips, a 1N4148 diode is required between the pin and V+ for serin to work on this particular pin...

Hello everybody, Is there a known issue with the time variable when used with a 20M2 at 32Mhz? Some days ago it looked like it incremented every 0.5s or so. I have done some work on the code elsewhere and when I checked the time function again today:surprise, it increments more or less every 3...

Thanks to Stigofthedump but BeanieBots suggestion is more what I was hoping for. So BeanieBot if I got you right it would look something like this?:

I attached a pic of what I have already.The jumper is already implemented but I am looking for a better solution since limited access to the jumper is often an issue. Space is critical and I am looking for a simple solution without additional IC's.I have one more output (b.3) left on the 20M2 to...

Hello everybody, is it possible to use somehow another pin (20M2) than the dedicated serout pin (Nr.19) for program download? I am asking because, I am using DAC on Pin Nr.19 to control an e-motor and I would like to leave it connected during program download. thanks!

Hello everybody, I would like to use hser for the first time and have a question. (I did search in the forum but could not find anything) I have a 20M2 running at 32MHz and a 08M2 which works at 2MHz and does a pwm-Signal. Now I would like to pass a byte-value that was measured by the 08M2 to...

Hi there, I am trying to write to an AXE134Y OLED-display from 2 picaxes. The picaxes talk to each other to make sure they are not writing to the OLED at the same time. I had this idea to use diodes to protect the picaxe against each other as seen in the schematic attached but I am not sure if...

Can anybody tell me how much current the 20*4 OLED needs? I'am measuring almost 60mA (0.3W) - is this normal? Thanks!

Hi everybody, I tried to debug the program below. The debug window opens, but there are no values and it says "waiting" on top of the window. I read about debug in the forum and tried some of the mentioned hints like: setfreq m4, pause before debug and low c.0 but no joy. I am using c.0 for...

Good morning everybody! A friend of mine is making custom e-bikes and I was working on an e-bike controller using an 08M2 for last 2 years. The goal was to have a versatile and small print which is capable to work with many different kind of sensors and actuators. So far so good. The second...

Hi, I bought a few of these little boards for the 18X from rev-ed. (see pic in attachment) Now I need to make some modifications to use it in my project, but I can't find the circuit diagram....anybody able to help? Thank you!

Hi everybody, I am quite new to Picaxe and I am using the 18M2 - great fun so far! Today I made a discovery maybe many people are not aware of, and as far as I know the manuals do not explicitly describe it: Unlike the "high pin"- command, the daclevel-voltage does not persist on the pin! I...
