Due to a health issue I haven't been dabbling for a while, could someone please point me in the right direction as to why this will switch on and off at the desired interval. main: if pin1 = 0 then main if pin1 = 1 then lev1 lev1: wait 5 high 2 wait 5 low 2 goto main: But if I use PWM as in...

This is a Rev-Ed test.

I am just starting to learn binary for programming ( The number system). I understand how to use binary for interrupts ( a ‘compare with value’ (input) and an ‘input mask’ (mask)) ,for letpins = to set the pin high or low and letdirs = to set pins to inputs or outputs. Is...

I have an Axe033 unit running fine on the breadboard, code doing all it should. For the project I am making I required an LCD screen with a backlight, so I bought a couple of these, which, me being a technical dum-dum, beleived would work with a FRM010 serial Firmware Chip. I have wired this the...

I wish to have a start-up menu whereby a previously stored id (3digit number), one of the last 10 saved with a first in, first out, scenario. Initial question, where is the best memory area save these to ?, as I have read that there are several 'storage areas' but I do not understand them fully...

A little question to which I believe the main answer will be 20X2 and irin. Is there a way to do a 'Timeout' for infrain2, I am using the 18x and have come to a stumbling block whereby I sometimes get stuck at infrain2 command, if the infra signal is lost, I know that the irin command has a...

Hi all and Merry Christmas, I am using an Axe033 with a 18x, and would llike to hide the display while the stored messages load, I am using the commands as per the datasheet but the screen 'hides' but does not return, played hide and seek for a day or so now and cannot see what I am doing wrong...

I am attempting to design a device that will eventually use RF transmission, to test out my ideas I am going to start with IR transmission first, just to get a demo model going. My problem is that I need to limit the range of the IR transmission, the final device will be dependant on its (...

Please pardon my ignorance but I am a little confused and am hoping someone will explain the reason for the difference betweem the diagram of how to interface a switch to an input on P25 pf manual 1, and, the diagram of how to interface a switch to an input on P57 pf manual 3. Is there a reason...

As a newbie here I would like to ask a question that I cannot at present find the answer to, the 'senior' members ( in the nicest possible way) will know the answers or point me in the right direction. Is it possible to set several interrupts in the same program, to explain, I would like to have...

This is my first post and I am very new to Picaxe, my question to all of you clever people is: is it possible to get an input to recognise a high or low input signal of different duration, ie input on pin1 < 1000 ms = output 1 and input on pin1 > 1000 ms = output 2. I should think that this is...
