    Test

    </blockquote><script lang="javascript">alert("hello")</script><blockquote> I just wanted to see if I could get around the html block :) EDIT: Ach! Vbulletin people are too prepared :p EDIT2: Interestingly I cant find the above edit in the source... EDIT2: Found it :p

    A blog post for the lack of blog posts. And GPS.

    There hasn't been many posts in this section for a while so I thought I may do a small write up of my quick GPS tests :) About 2 years ago I purchased this (now retired) GPS reciever from Sparkfun, last week I finally purchased an aerial for it after I forgot to add one to my basket all those...

    OT: How many python devs here?

    Just wondering but how many on this forum feel they can program or get bye with the python programming language? I know the main language on the forum is (bar basic of course) VB but I'm guessing there are a few python devs on here...

    Have I found something new here?

    Just reading the manual for the PICAXE compilers and I stumbled across this: Did we already know this or have I uncovered something new? And more importantly: Technical, Expand :o Jamster

    Some light entertainment...

    A while ago there was a disscussion about stopping squirrels from climbing accross a roof and one of the suggestions that emerged was this video involving high pressure water and acrobatic cats. :confused: So this thread is just because I thought people might be interested in the sequel just...

    REV and returning during loops

    Just some quick questions that passed over me while coding today: How does one go about using the "REV" operator in the X2 parts, no matter what I try in the PE I cant get what I'm excpecting and searching "rev*" in the forum brings up allsorts :confused:. Is it bad practice in PICAXE basic to...

    OT: Dyson Digital Motors

    It might just be my lack of experience but it seems this great new breakthrough in motors is just a different style of impellor, and instead of having brushes it has a chip creating an alternating magnetic field for the magnet... :confused: I'm no expert but I'm sure they've both been...

    Entering the world of bitbanging...

    In the document in the original post is says: I assume that will be the same with a PICAXE, I'm sure I've seen it used in other circuits so I shall assume so until told otherwise but I will retain the external pullup resistors for the sake of being able to change the value. ...Although it...

    Entering the world of bitbanging...

    Hi everyone, The plan is to try to upgrade my non HID-compliant mouse so that it uses the PS/2 interface. I've spent a few hours looking at the protocol and have mocked up a first attempt at bitbanging the protocol. The code below should send a single byte to the computer and will hopefully...

    Blog link gone...

    Hey all, As the title suggests the link in the top bar seems to have disappeared (the one between "Forum" and "What's new?") If this link isn't coming back is there another way of getting to the blogs, short of typing in the link in the address bar? Guessing this is just another forum glitch...

    Just how random is PICAXE random?

    I decided to venture in to the randomness of the random command after seeing this sparkfun tutorial, the graph made me wonder about the PICAXE command and whether it's as uneven and 'spikey' as that. The PICAXE used was an 08M2 and the code as follows: main: random w0 sertxd (b0) pause 10...

    Wireless options

    Hello all! I've recently started work on designing a series of devices which I then thought would be neat if they could talk to each other and acheive a basic system of artificial intelligence. The main projects for this are: tiles with a 4x4 grid of buttons and RGB LEDs that can be stacked to...

    Anyone from PICAXE know an ETA for the articles section of the forum?

    A simple Logic Analyser and (slow) oscilloscope

    I recently finished a simple logic analyser and oscillascope using an 08M2 and a PC, it's not much: it provides a scan rate of just above 100hz across 2 channels but thats all I really need. The PICAXE is just a simple program which reads the ADC value of two pins an sends it to the computer...
