    PICAXE-08M2 DAC sample rate

    I would like to send a pre-code signal at a fixed sample rate to the ADC. I am trying to understand what the upper sample rate is of the DAC on the 08M2 (or any other picaxe chip). How do I control said sample rate? Do I just introduce a pause between writing samples? Can anybody point me to...

    Reading serial characters (output from sonar board)

    I am trying to use the 14M2 to read the serial output provided by an LV maxsonar board. The data sheet for this module states that The full datasheet can be found here: https://www.maxbotix.com/documents/LV-MaxSonar-EZ_Datasheet.pdf I've tried reading in the input using the serin command on...

    5V voltage regulator capacitor values

    I want to drive a circuit with a 9V battery. This will power the picaxe, a shift register and some leds. Anyway, I want to use a L78 voltage regulator to regulate the 9V to 5V. Looking at the picaxe manual, they recommend using 100nF + 100muF on both the input and the output side (4 capacitors...

    Understanding pin descriptions in the manuals (in particular PWM pins)

    I am trying to understand the pin descriptions of the picaxe microcontrollers. In particular, I am trying to understand which pins support the servo command. As far as I know, servos take PWM commands to set their positions. Hence, I assume that pins labeled PWM should support the servo command...
