I just spotted this array of 30 or more sensors/input devices etc. E-bay Link http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sintron-Ultimate-37-1-Sensor-Modules-Kit-Arduino-MCU-Education-User-/171042140812?pt=AU_Gadgets&hash=item27d2e7f28c It says they are for Arduino (but who cares), they all have SIL Pins for...

To Technical and others, Is there a place or can there be a place on this forum for intelligent and productive discussion on the topic of MAINS VOLTAGE and related subjects. There comes a time in any good experimenter, inventor, hobbyist or DIYist's life where something they are working on...

---Lightning---BUG Festive Events are looking brighter already :cool:

it worked ~ 'o) Well thank you Dippy ~;o)

I've just found this little device from Dallas/Maxim http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/3261 For the MAX6684, Fan-Failure Detector with Integrated Power Switch. It is a Fan Overload/Dropout sensor in a SIOC 8pin 1.25mm spacing pkg. A handy little device in its own right. But I...

Not wanting to mess up the current thread, serial serial sertxd on 18X, etc. SEROUT- on the Download Output Pin. Have I been doing it the wrong way all this time ? (wouldn't be the first, and probably not the last ~ ;o) From the picaxe Manual2.pdf Could someone please elaborate on what...

After a lot of mucking about, banging my head against the wall, faulty Chips and not nearly enough test gear for the task. I finally got this to work :) Using only a dual core 08M setup I've managed to dial up my IP server susseccfully. Why my IP server ?, because it doesn't bother a machine...

Something I noticed when using the Directives #rem and #endrem See the code example below, the explanation is half way down. This caught me out when trying several versions of a similar code. Also #REM works but #ENDREM in capitals does not seem to work. And I'm still using Prog-Editor ver...

I just noticed my Program Editor Ver- 5.0.0.7 (old I know, and not going to change it for the moment) Running in enhanced, colour mode does not report any errors if I use the incorrect pin (08M) e.g. - serin 0,N2400,b0 serin 1,N2400,b0 serin 2,N2400,b0 serin 3,N2400,b0 serin 4,N2400,b0 serin...

Fowkc, this would be a good place to include your original PWM Calculator page, (now part of the Program Editor software) may provide a better understanding of how it all functions :)

If you don't own any schematic editor tools or just want something for a simple, quick drawing, give this a go. Library of common components. (you could even make your own custom parts :)) This may save some forum space using .gif files. You can't make huge drawings, but it may be enough.

There are many ways you could fade an LED/s up and down, here are just a couple. A simple single LED. Three fading LEDs chasing. #picaxe 08m 'Sets the Program Editor config for an 08M Chip. 'This will fade an LED on Pin1 / Leg6, OFF to Full ON to OFF, etc, etc. Main: Up: if b5 = 255 then...

How about we get this section up and running with some simple code for the Newbies to try out their "fresh out of the Box" Picaxe toys @ I wonder if Technical would consider splitting the forum into more than one section e.g. - EDIT - This section only Code Snippets. B - Beginners, where full...
