I'm currently using the AXE231 servo board for experimentation, but my final application may be better assembled onto a more application specific board. I'm wondering if the 08M2 Picaxe in the surface mount 8-pin package is available standalone, or is the only way it's sold is already soldered...

I currently have a couple debug instructions in my code for development purposes. Would there be any problem with me just leaving those in there forever even in a situation where I do not have a serial port connected? Is there any handshaking on data being broadcast out of the PicAxe from a...

So I got my hands on another computer and tried everything again. Different machine, different OS, fresh install of everything. And the result? Got the same kind of errors on the loopback test, and downloading to my target resulted in the same verification errors. So, I assume I'm most likely...

I re-ran the loopback test a bunch more times making sure I did not disturb the cable at all. On two consecutive runs, I got these two results. I do not think we are dealing with a complete random situation here. This is one run: And after cancelling and restarting the test routine utility, I...

Here's the loopback test results with the phone jack inserted into a shorted receptacle socket. I still see the occasional error, but flexing the cable did not seem to make it any better or worse. I tried to find a flex location somewhere on the cable that would make it better or worse, but...

I also get the same error using both AXEpad and Editor 6: And here's what happens when I run a loopback test of the AXE027 cable: Is it potentially as simple as a bum cable?

I'm getting the common "verification error" when trying to download a program to my PICAxe and I'm looking for assistance. I'm trying to program the little 08M2 surface mount servo module using an AXE027 download cable. I recently bought everything from Robotshop, so it should all be legit parts...
