I have used EasyEDA for PCB design, JLCPCB to fabricate the boards and LSCS for parts supply. Never had an issue and they are all under the same roof - so to speak.

Premelec - Thanks for you direct and indirect assistance over the years. Best of luck mate.

Excellent Hemi - Thanks for that- That's the starter info I was looking for. Cheers

Rq3 - I have asked PCB Cart for a list of their preferred component part numbers but they prefer me to supply the list and they will use their 'equivalent' component after that. All good. I will forge on. Thanks for your response.

Inglewwodpete - I use Diptrace which asks for the part numbers to be attached to the component and this is where I get stuck as there are so many options - which is where I get confused - grey matter not as good as it used to be. I will persevere.

Folks - I am about to have my first surface mount PCB made by PCB Cart who have made through hole component PCB's for me previously. They require a Bill of Materials with component descriptions and manufacturers part numbers prior to giving me a quote. I have searched manufacturers sites and...

Thanks for that Hippy. I will give that a try. It may be easier for me to reallocate my pins or upgrade to a 14M2. Thanks again.

Thanks for the response Pongo. I did check previous posts and the manual which states that the Disconnect is auotomatic when the serrxd is issued but I will try as you suggest tonight. Ta

Folks - I am attempting to send serial data from an ESP8266 to an 08M2 via the serial in pin using the serrxd command. Both devices are running on 3.2vdc. I can receive the data from the ESP perfectly on the 08M2 if I use any other pin and the serin command at 4800bd but I receive nothing using...

Could be something to do with your baud rates - going by your screenshot.

Folks - Not too long ago there was a thread which spoke about using the time of day when the Picaxe was initially programmed with its firmware to create a reasonably unique ID if one wanted to use multiple Picaxes in a network. I have searched high and low and haven't been able to find it. Is...

Sorry guys - I haven't explained my request well at all. I shall try again. I have included a couple of screenshots which may help. I have made a device which emulates a 26 bit Wiegand proximity card for testing card reader inputs on access control systems at my place of work. The original...

Folks - I am having issues with the following code. I should be getting a 0 when using the 'and' command with the number 4060 (111111011100 in binary) which a calculator gives me but when run in the simulator and in a 08M2 I get a result of 1. The variable W1 holds a 26 bit number which...

Folks - I am using an 08M2 and I understand that there are 32 bit variables available - as stated in Manual 2: b0 = bit7: bit6: bit5: bit4: bit3: bit2: bit1: bit0 b1 = bit15: bit14: bit13: bit12: bit11: bit10: bit9: bit8 etc... My program requires up to about 48 bit variables to be controlled...

Folks - My brain is at half mast lately. I am adding bits 0 to 7 together and I need to know if the result is odd or even - see below. b6 = bit0 + bit1 + bit2 + bit3 + bit4 + bit5 + bit6 + bit7 I need to know if result (b6) is odd or even. I have tried a few options but obviously not the...
