There are some pertinent threads in the forum :- (3) Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout | PICAXE Forum and (3) Extracting GPS time with PICAXE | PICAXE Forum and especially (3) GPS Data receiver using X2's background serial data reception | PICAXE Forum I would start by connecting to the...

One slight issue is that drivers have to be native ARM binaries. Our old friend the AXE027, with its old FTDI innards may, or may not, be on the list to be ported :unsure:

I found this (Windows on Arm). Amongst other things it says: This implies that it 'should just work'. There will be an obvious performance overhead, which, I suppose, could affect things like simulation. (I assume that by 'x86', they really mean WIN32 applications (like Picaxe Editor)...)

So to get 20 discrete points, you're dividing by 13, rather than 16 ❓ (given that you can't divide by 12.8)

I think the problem might well turn out to be a 'memory leak' of some description. It seems to use resources far in excess of what you would imagine it capable of :unsure: ...

The "Terminal" will try to store all data that it receives. It continues to do this, regardless of the serious depletion of system resources that can ensue. The solution, is to use something like Putty, (which allows you to set the size of the screen buffer, to some finite size).

Is this the same problem that I had? https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/6-0-9-2-resource-usage.29861/ (Logging to terminal eventually consumes all system resources...)

The max. operating temperature for the TEPT4400 is quoted as 85°C and the venerable ORP12 LDR as 75°C; I can't see any restriction on maximum light level. LDRs are commonly used in Oil Boilers to confirm that they're lit, so I've always thought of them as pretty robust. I think you need some...

Three similar hardware failures seems unusual...especially for a component like this. Is this an 'environmental' issue? Is the device exposed to the elements, or maybe looking through a 'window' that gets dirty? Given that that the TEPT4400 is a phototransistor, measuring its resistance may not...

If I drop those coords. (aka -39.505000, 176.856667) into Google Maps, I get Western Hills Lawn Cemetery in the Napier area...

Rather than a Picaxe, you could use something like a DS3231, that can generate an accurate 1Hz clock signal? Datasheet HERE, ready-built module HERE. (That's the least of its capabilities ;) )

See: this thread (esp. Post #7) There are also some generic suggestions for dealing with error 1310 here: https://www.makeuseof.com/error-1310-installation-issue-windows/

What's "the Syncfusion error"❓

For the Picaxe 08M2 (from the 12F1840 datasheet)

How do you mean ❓ The "It Just Works" compatibility statement for Visual Basic 6.0 applications is still in place for Windows 11. I downloaded the DPscope software into a Windows 11 Virtual Machine and it installed and ran. It did complain that I didn't have the requisite hardware connected...
