What would be the best way to create a 5v spike every 12 hours? I'm currently making a project that will turn a light on for 12 hours and then off for 12 hours for my reptile tank. Edit: How about if i use a 08m to do the timing and connect the output to the 18x? For b1 = 1 to 720 ‘ 720...

Hello all. I just built a temperature circuit and it works fine, reads all valus back on screen. I decided i was going to turn a motor on at a certain temperature, so i hooked it up, and to test it i just wrote a a program that turned output 4 on for 4 seconds then off again for 4 then on, etc...

Will this simple program read the temperature ok and display it on the computer screen? Will it be a value between 0 and 256? or and actual temperature? Main: readtemp 0,b0 pause 200 debug b0 pause 200 goto main Cheers

Hello i couldn't seem to find an e-mail address for the picaxe website. But the thing i wanted to ask was:- Do you think it will be okay to use pictures and quotes from the picaxe manuals in my technical report for college as long as i credit rev-ed in my acknowledgments? Or am i better of...

Hello all, i am planning to build a wireless servo controller for a project. I plan to do this by Picaxe -> 433mhz transmitter---Reciever -> Picaxe -> Servos In the manual it says 'Note that the overhead processing time required for processing the servo commands every 20ms causes the other...

Hello everyone, laying in the bottom of my box of 'useful bits' i found a little sealed package with DS18B20 written on it, i found out that this was the digital temp sensor. I decided to have a mess about but i can't get it to work, i think i may have fried it. I have it connected the right...

Hello, I was hoping to buy a set of xbee wireless modules, basically to make a remote control for a robot. I need quite a lot of outputs to control servos, (minimum 8). When i looked at the manual for connecting more than one picaxe together, it was talking about connecting together using...

Hey, just had a thought last night, lets say you had a picaxe 28 chip and each output was connected to another 28 chip (or any other for that matter) would this give you the power of parrallel processing (not to mention many many outputs)? joe

Hello, ive looked around but couldn't find exactly what i was looking for. Here is my problem; When i try and download a program to the axe using the programming editor i get the 'hardware not detected on com3 hardware not powered hardware not connected etc' I've made sure its connected, it's...

Hello. i was wondering if there was a way to dim an LED using a picaxe? I am attempting to replicate the ring of lights on the front of an xbox 360, i have tried myself but cannot figure it out. I understand that LED' work on current not voltage. Joe
