    "2-2 Phase excitation (Unipolar driving)"

    I am trying to connect a stepper motor (Mitsumi M42SP-5, datasheet at http://www.mitsumi.co.jp/Catalog/compo/motor/m42sp5_e.html) to a PICAXE 18X. I am confused--the motor has only four wires, and according to the PICAXE interfacing manual, this should be a bipolar stepper motor. However, the...

    While preparing my PICAXE 18X for tests with an IR receiver, I've initially built a simple LED blinking circuit, uploaded a simple program, and the LED was blinking as it should. I've started adding IR parts and wanted the test the circuit. When I tried to upload my new program, a message about...

    USB Bit Whacker (UBW)

    A description of something called UBW is given at http://greta.dhs.org/UBW/ It seems to me that UBW is nothing else but a "version" of PICAXE. What is in essence the difference (besides USB vs. RS232 communication)?

    74LS164 and seven-segment LED display

    I am trying to extend picaxter's code for two seven-segment LED displays and two 74LS164 from http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7847&highlight=seven+segment+led+display&page=2 Instead of two displays (as in the original message), I'd want to use three displays and three 164's. I've...

    Temperature measurements with AS35

    Hello, This is my first post--trying to learn how to use PICAXE and measure the temperature. I am playing with AS35--a replacement for LM35. I am using an almost exact copy of the program by Peter H Anderson: 'based on http://www.phanderson.com/picaxe/lm34.html 'using AS35 Symbol ADVal = W0...
