I have an ELM327 based ODB to USB device that i use for diagnostic tests etc on my car. I have been reading the datasheet for the ELM 327 main chip and it has plenty of useful information that could be useful to people who have project ideas involving vehicle systems. The ELM 327 uses only a...

Sorry, it's me again with another problem. I imagine you all must be getting tired of seeing posts started by me! After successfully getting the FPU running on bread board and communication via serial cable to the IDE i moved on to the next step and fitted a 28x2 to the bread board and linked...

Concerns over the use of lipos are noted! :eek: for infomation: the lipo im using is a 2 cell 520mAh 10C. I will sort out a proper 5v supply but in the mean time i will switch to a 9v battery. I know these really arent ideal either but i have a fair few of them so they will do till i get a...

Here is a rough circuit diagram of what i currently have setup on the breadboard. Sorry about the quality, i had to do it in word!

I know this isnt really a picaxe problem but everyone on here knows so much i thought it would be a good place to start... I have been trying to connect the micromega ide program to the fpu v3 and i have not had any luck with it. I just get messages saying it doesnt get a response from the...

For a project im working on i will be processing gps and working out distances etc. I figure the best way to do this will be to program an 08M2 to output via serial a set of gps nmea strings in a constant loop. Obviously when it restarts the loop the gps data will jump back in time but that...

Hello! I have a big(ish) project i would like to have a go at building. My idea is to convert my RC car into an autonomous vehicle that can be given a set of gps co-ords and set on its way to get there by itself. I realise this is possibly a hugely complicated senario. So first off i have a...

I imagine this is probably very simple to sort but i have been racking my brains for a while now and not getting anywhere useful! basically what i would like to achieve is w1 = w2 * 1.5 Im sure this must be blindingly obvious and easy to solve but i just can see the wood for the trees...

Hi, This is my first post so please be gentle! :) I've been doing a lot of seraching over the last few days but dont seem to be able to find a definitive answer for my question so im hoping someone can either point me to a thread i have missed or point me in the right direction/ Im planning...
