    Measuring elapsed time

    I'd like to use the Picaxe to periodically run certain tasks, while also doing other things in the background. With other processors, quite easy, just do the background tasks and occasionally check an elapsed timer to see if it's time to run the periodic tasks. TIME is only good for full...

    Electrical spec's for Picaxe

    Can anybody point me to the electrical spec's for Picaxe devices? I know they're Pic's, but the new ones don't even have the Pic part# on them anymore..... or maybe if you can just tell me the equivalent PIC part# for the Picaxe 08M2, 14M2, and 20M2. I need to understand output-drive...

    DFPlayer - MP3 player - clock accuracy ?

    Can anybody help with this question - I'm using the DFPlayer in a project where, throughout a 200-second .mp3 file, there are occasional beeps. I created the .mp3 file, so I know exactly when the sounds are supposed to play (at 20s, 35s, ... 193s). When the beeps sound, I want the PicAxe...

    28X2 programming problem

    I've used a few PicAxes before, so have some experience, but am stumped here. I have a 28X2, with the prescribed serial download circuit (22K series, 10K from rs232 input to gnd) on the 28X2's RxD signal (pin6) which is connected to a PC's COM1: port tx-data, and the 28X2's TxD (pin7) having a...

    VMUSIC2 tips-n-tricks

    Have been working with the VMUSIC2 quite a bit in the last few weeks and just thought I'd post some of the things I've found about it. Some of them I discovered and then later found in the firmware manual or the VS1003 spec, but here they are: 1. Volume resets to max when power is cycled, but...

    VMUSIC2 question

    Most of the VMUSIC2 interface schematics show the CTS line tied to ground (signalling the VMUSIC2 that the Stamp is always ready for characters), and RTS not connected (so no way for VMUSIC2 to tell Stamp that it is 'not ready'). I'm ok with the CTS, as the PicAxe can be designed to be always...
