I created a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/99-axe027.rules and put the "SYSFS" and "RUN" lines in it using gedit and I think I saved it. I changed the USB1 to USB0 in the axepad options and when I tried to download a program I got a message asking me to "connect power". Checked my batteries and...

This from the "USB Help" in options in axepad. 4.2) Linux Patch Option 2 (recommended) Create a new udev rule, so that the modprobe rule is automatically applied every time the computer boots. Create a new file (e.g. using KWrite, gedit or similar text editor) named...

Still not able to connect axepad to the chip.

Second screenshot of what I am getting when trying to configure axepad to see axe 027 (because I could only put 2 into first post)

Just loaded axepad for linux and can't connect to my axe027 Followed the instructions on the axe027 page I put this into terminal. sudo modprobe ftdi_sio sudo chmod 777 /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id sudo echo "0403 bd90" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id sudo adduser...

I have an old computer that has XP loaded to it and I am considering switching to Linus Mint as an Operating System and was wondering will Program editor run OK if I use "Wine" which I understand to be for windows programs. Anybody able to help me?

I have written a program that creates hissing and chuffing sounds plus controls the directional lighting for my garden railway loco. All runs OK except that there is a noticeable quiet period in the sounds when the loco is running. I have the sounds and lights running in parallel on an 08M2 chip...

A whole new project that I am working on, utilising the advice from previous posts, but I am having an issue with it. I am feeding in pulses from a 2.4Ghz radio Control receiver into pin C.3 of the Picaxe (checked with a CRO). As the pulse width varies the sound doesn't change, all I am...

OK here I go I want to control a relay ON/Off using a picaxe that responds to the outputs of a 2.4GHz radio control RX. Basically an R/C switch. I want to use this to replace a servo that moves a mechanical switch that is used to change the direction of a DC motor in a large scale model train...

Why is it that every time I write a new thread and then try to post it I am told that I am not logged on and the post just disappears? Is there a time limit to how long you can be logged in? Edit; Except this time it worked but it took only a short time to write this.

I have been trying to load the latest Programming Editor onto my XP computer and keep getting errors. The errors involve the loading on .Net Framework needed by Editor 6. Has anybody encountered this problem and if so was there a fix? If not then It looks like I am stuck with Editor 5. I am...

Hi, I want to run 2 picaxe 08M2's from the one PWM source. I have a remote control driving a motor in a model train which uses a picaxe to drive a relay to give me direction control. The picaxe monitors the PWM looking for a command which toggles the relay. I also have a diesel simulator...

In Manual 1 on page 26 it says that old computer powers supplies are not suitable for picaxe. Is this because of filtering or is it because of regulation issues? If filtering would a 4700uF or bigger capacitor the issue? This question has probably been asked a million times but I couldn't...
