I'm trying to port this FreeBASIC code to a PICAXE 20X2. I'm having some problems, mostly floating point numbers and working around them. The FreeBASIC post: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=126415#126415 p.s I'm Turd on the FB forum...

Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm trying out a new USB to serial cable and it does seem to work. I'm pretty sure I have everything hooked up right. I'll take some pictures tomorrow after work if you need to see it. Thank you.

Has anyone tried this with PICAXE chips? Could it work? It looks really nice! http://piklab.sourceforge.net/

They're selling these Transmitters and Receivers at HVW now. I've never used any wireless stuff before, how easy are they to use?

Heres an analog data logger program that I'm working on. It's not finished and still needs a lot of work. It uses FreeBASIC and a PICAXE 08M to read three analog voltages and then sends them to my pc through the serial port. Video FB code: dim as integer x, y, buttons, i, ii, ra1, ra2, rb1...

Heres a useless little program that I made to make it a bit easier to use the PICAXE chips in Linux :) Video It's written in FreeBASIC dim as integer i, x, y, buttons dim shared chip as string dim as string s, usb, fname dim text(15) as string declare sub black screenres 387,300 draw...

Heres a video I made showing how to get started :) http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=bNF2jallUKs

Has anyone used a NES controller with a PICAXE before? By the looks of this page, it would seem easy to do. http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~hamblen/489X/f04proj/USB_NES/protocol.htm

Heres an idea for driving 10 seven segment displays or 80 LEDs with a 4017 and a PICAXE 18X. It uses the the serial output pin to clock the 4017 which drives the vertical LED columns while the 8 outputs on the PICAXE drive the horizontal LED rows. Q1 and the diodes are there to turn off the LEDs...

This idea probable isn't original, but what ever. I was trying to think of a way to drive three seven seg. displays with a 18x. I thought of multiplexing them but my head started to hurt lol Then I had the idea of showing one digit at a time on a signal display. Heres a video. :) eric

In this tread there's talk of turning outputs to inputs, what I was wondering is, is it possible to turn an input into an output? eric

I want to use those nice little LCDs (3x16) that come in cordless phones in my PICAXE projects but I can't find a data sheet, so I made a crappy program to record the data on 4 of the 8 pins of the LCD. The 4 that I believe are the I/O pins. The others I think have to do with the power...

How do you send numbers out through terminal program? It just sends the ASCII out. Thanks :-) eric

Has anyone used an 25LC640 EEPROM? http://www.hvwtech.com/products_view.asp?CatID=99&SubCatID=222&SubSubCatID=0&ProductID=457 And here is a PDF data sheet: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/21223G.pdf eric

I'm trying to interface a PICAXE to PC useing qbasic. The problem is I'm an idiot :( Can someone help me, please :) eric
