Thank you for all you have done for us. Hope you have a enjoyable retirement.

I hope they do something. I love using PICAXE and dream about PICAXE that does floating point, extensive string handling, mapping functions, etc., etc. And of course blazing speed.

I've been a long time PICAXE user and would love to see PICAXE and Reved survive. I don't like having to use ARDxx for some projects because PICAXE limitations. What do you guys and gals think Reved should do ?

From the Picaxe command manual: RANDOM wordvariable - Wordvariable is both the workspace and the result. As random generates a pseudo-random sequence it is advised to repeatedly call it within a loop. A word variable must be used, byte variables will not operate correctly

This program only displays 0 to 9, A to F, dashes, and decimal points. Just for fun I added a few lines to drive the display at four different speeds. I will be working on a counting program that uses this code but The TM1637 six digit displays are not sequential so in order to use this program...

Points well taken thanks for the replies

It sure would be nice if easy 32bit math, at least on the X2 chips, would be created. Maybe creating double word variables. Something like DW0,DW1,DW2, etc. Does anyone else think this would be good?

Hi Everyone, I know this subject is been discussed many times before but I felt the need to bring it up again. Is the PICAXE system becoming stagnant..?? I surely hope not because using PE6 and the simulator is so easy and a real pleasure compared to other environments. The PICAXE team has done...

Hi All, I'm not sure if this will be useful for this thread but I'll try to describe a setup that has been 100% reliable so far with a cheap 315mhz transmitter/receiver pair with a couple of PICAXE chips. Link for the RF...

The TM1637 LED display is widely available, cheap, and an easy way to add a four digit LED display to a PICAXE project. Borrowing code from the link below I wrote a version which runs much faster and the code size is reduced. It has been tested from 4 to 32 mhz on M2 parts and also at 64 mhz on...

Here is a version of the code that outputs the time to a TM1637 four digit LED clock display. The code is setup for time zone 7 (mountain time) but can be easily modified for any time zone within WWVB broadcast coverage by changing line 150. The parts and pieces for the project were obtained...

Here is a complete 'minute frame' from WWVB. PV Electronics seems to be sold out of the SYM-RFT-60 time modules. However the receiver from the link below also works very well. Both receivers invert the incoming signal which is very useful. Cheers to All...

Inspired by other threads that decode time signals I decided to give it a spin. Ordered a WWVB/MSF receiver from PV Electronics in the UK and put together a small breadboard system. The receiver works great and it should since I live within 120 miles of the transmitter. The pulses are clean and...

I've been trying to post a new thread to the finished projects section but the connection resets and it won't go through. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem..??

Of course the compiler on PE6 will not accept any kind of a fvrsetup on the 20X2. I'm wondering if there are any 'workarounds' to be able to use the internal 1.024, 2.048, 4.096 refs for the ADC channels on the 20X2. Cheers to All
