Hi Hippy, I apologise for not being more clear in what I meant: I wanted to know if you could Like this? So I would solder wires underneath the project board underneath the ic socket and then connect these wires to the breadboard so that I don't need to constantly remove the Picaxe 20x2 from...

That sounds like a great idea, I will try it tonight. @hippy will this also work on the PICAXE 20X2 project board?

When I purchased my breadboard adapter, I didn't realise at first but one of the metal pins at the back was snapped, unfortunately, I can't use it now so I have to use the swapping routine (@Ibenson) , unless you guys have a suggestion on how I could fix this? Also I don't have a decoupling...

Sorry, I may be misunderstanding, is this for on the Picaxe 20X2 project board or for my breadboard?

Hi Hippy, I am programming my Picaxe chip on the project board then I am moving it onto the breadboard- does this still require me to have a resistor and a decoupling capacitor on my breadboard?

@hippy how will I light specific leds?

UPDATE: Now With TIME EXAMPLES (image click below) I have also experimented with APA102_Example_7 and it worked perfectly, the next thing for me to do is figure out how to individually control LEDs (any help with this would be greatly appreciated ;) )

UPDATE: Now With Number Mapping

I have created the LED 7 Segment Display map, labelled with wires connecting and appropriate "LED numbers". Hi @Ibenson thanks for the update on the PCB!

Hi @hippy I have used example 1 of the APA102 Examples for the LED strip and it work great! The first 4 leds are lit and the wiring helped! Kind Regards Electronics Learner 123 I am now going to map the LEDS on a diagram

Also, Adding on to the project plan: I also intend for the clock to be controlled by my phone using an ESP8226 and I know that this can be done because Ibenson helped me to achieve this: https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/28x2-40x2-picaxe-web-server-with-esp-01-and-pi-javascript.31912/ (the...

@hippy thanks I will try that later today or tomorrow ;)

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE QUESTION HAD TO BE DIVIDED BETWEEN THE TWO DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF 10000 CHARACTERS :)

What I need to do is: (e.g.) -------> if variable is 2 -----------> turn on led 4,5,6 but if variable changes to e.g. 3 then -------> turn on led 24,25,26 etc... ------------------------------------- ↑ I do not know how to control individual leds (APA102)---- Wiring: ; 40X2...

Hi all, I am currently trying to drive the APA102 using the Picaxe 20x2. I have read the following threads: https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/apa102-rgb-led-strip-examples.30680/ https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/apa102-5050-rgb-led-with-integrated-driver.27509/...
