I have made the changes and to make it easier I ran the code in Picaxe Editor 5. I wasn't sure what to do after that so I opened the terminal window and got an unchanging output of the following (and the Y had two dots above it - 255 255 Y

This is the converted code from my second post. A simple picaxe basic code to test if the device is working would be helpful. symbol varA = w0 symbol varB = w1 symbol varC = w2 ; Temporary word variables used by Grove modules. symbol grove_w1 = s_w1 symbol grove_w2 = s_w3 symbol grove_w3...

Just to add I tried the below program and could not change the readings for the temperature by putting my finger on the sensor. Debug would not change and showed: VarA 00045 $002D VarB 00000 $0000 VarC 00001 $0001 All other Variables were zero.

Just trying to get the Grove Barometer High Accuracy working with my Axe300 board in Blockly. I am confused about how to combine the VarA (sign +/-), VarB (integer) and VarC (remainder) into something readable on a Grove lcd module.

You should be good to go with the serial cable, as you seem to be aware to install the software for the download cable before plugging it in. Most of the time it will work fine. I'm sure if you have any problems someone here will sort it out. Once the editor and download serial cable software...

I had some success with a converter board that converted the PS2 into serial which was much easier for me to work with. If you search the following you might be able to find them - Wireless Joypad To Serial Port Pinboard Adapter Board For PS2 PS3 Here is the thread where some great minds...

For a very amusing look at programming time zones look up Toms Scott's video. It made me sympathise with what programmers have to put up with just to let us normal everyday folk get on with our "digital" lives. The video is called - The Problem with Time & Timezones - Computerphile

As the title suggests are any of the OLED Modules you sell already soldered (except for the connection to the Picaxe of course). I would rather not solder them up myself but for a couple of the modules it doesn't specify if they are self assembled ie soldering required.

That did it, thanks again hippy for all your help.

Tried to make the changes you suggested. I am using a Picaxe 20M2 but I get an error unknown symbol for 9600_4, but it downloads (without working) with 9600_8.

At the moment my basic code is simply what I have below, not sure what I need to add to make it work. I just need a small program to play mp3 file 1 (0001.mp3) and I think I can work out the rest from there. serout B.1,t9600_8,($7E,$FF,$06,$09,$00,$00,$02,$EF) pause 100 serout...

What about the Basic code box in Blockly? I have been trying to get that to work with the MP3 board as well without success.

Just another couple of questions I have. Can you use the Seeed MP3 board on one of the other connectors? As far as I can see there is only one UART connector and when I get things running correctly I wish to use a bluetooth board as well as the MP3 board. I thought a serout might work but I...

That did the trick, thanks Hippy, I was putting them in a folder called 01, which the Seeed pdf gave examples of.

Hi all, Just received my AXE300 board and a few grove sensors to play around with, but I cant seem to get my MP3 board to make any sort of sound. I am using the standalone Blockly app for windows. I assume you plug the MP3 board into the UART port (middle bottom of the board), but I have no...
