Forgot to mention, pretty sure most of the code was originally from "Marks" so thanks Marks

Well I got my basic initializing code and a display of text working with a couple of minor changes. I must have lost the final version of my temperature monitor code, but that is now working with the modified initializing code, so all good. I'll attach the working initializing and display code...

Thanks Hippy, the code was just a snippet containing the initializing and a bit of text. The extra $33,s are extra wake ups in case that was the problem. The "main:" at this point was just a delay to see if the text was written to the LCD and once that was working I could then add the main...

I've been away from picaxe for several years and have just had the need to program another 14m2 with one of my working programs using a standard LCD in 4 bit mode. The LCD refused to initialize using code that I've used plenty of times before, in fact I reprogrammed a working temperature monitor...

Thanks for the reply Hippy. I've had another play with the net framework install and found I had been trying to download a different version to 3.5, (which the PE install asks for) of which a later version was already on the laptop, hence the messages. I have now found and installed 3.5 and PE...

Just bought a new laptop with the latest Windows 10 and tried to install PE6. It came up with the "needs net framework installed" message, which I tried to install, but windows says the latest version of net framework is already installed and won't install the one I downloaded. The PE6...

I've been playing around with LCD drivers for a while now...mainly to keep the brain working and am now using a 14M2 to drive a parallel 2 line LCD. The problem is when I have the RS and E control lines on the same output port as the data lines and try to use a bit of "binary maths" to preserve...

I'm have a problem with a serial LCD driver circuit and program which is a combination of ideas from the AXE 133 and Mark's LCD driver info on this forum. It comprises of a 08m reading a DS18B20 and serial out to the 18m2 driver board . The 08m circuit using Marks "serial temp to 1 decimal...

This project was for a friend who needed rudder position indicators on his boat. Thanks to Steliosm for the idea of using servo's with needles attached for the actual indicators. It uses two pots linked to the rudder system to provide ADC signals to the 08M from which it derives the servo...

Not sure whether this has been mentioned before, but it might be a trap for new players.(like me) I programmed a short routine into a 08M which included a high interrupt on In3 and a high out on Pin2 early in the program. It loaded ok and seemed to run but when I tried to reprogram after...

Being pretty new to this forum I've been going through previous threads looking for stuff of interest. A subject that caught my eye was MPPT and I think I have now read all previous threads relating to it, but they all seem to have peetered out. I think "Dippy" mentioned starting thread to...

Hi, This is my first picaxe project apart from flashing leds at certain temperatures with a 08m and a ds18b20. It is a motor monitoring unit which I fitted to our diesel motorhome It uses 3 ds18b20's to measure head temp, oil temp and gearbox temp, ADC to measure battery volts and cycles...
