Hiya Just a quick question I can't seem to fathem, I'm using a picaxe 40x2 with a 6v power supply, there seems to be two power terminals and grounding terminals, which two should I use? Which side of the chip should I use? :) (there is a +V and a 0V terminal on each side of the chip)

im affraid its not the best picture but you can clearly see the single black wire going between the two boards and the power supply to each board, the rest of the wires floating around the 40X2 boards are grounding (and part of the other project) th eone wire that isnt attached (from port A) you...

Hi so ive recently spent a while playing aroud with a 20*4 OLED screen, so im fairly well practiced with the serout command but im having a little trouble getting the serin command to work with my prototyping gear, at the moment im using a 40X2 (with protoboard) and a 28X2 (and project board)...

ok unfortunately brilliant images aren't quite possible due to it being dark at the moment the protoboard: http://www.picaxe.com/Hardware/Project-Boards/PICAXE-2840-Proto-Board/ the screen: http://www.picaxe.com/Hardware/Add-on-Modules/Serial-OLED-Module-20x4/ (using the standard picaxe usb...

quick snapshot might help? ok there's a quick snap shot of what i have, sorry for the poor quality (and rotation) the mass of tape along with the red and black rubbish is simply power supply the uppermost white wire is the serial wire the other two white's are power to the OLED

hi so infront of me, i have, a 40x2 (and protoboard) and a 28x2 (and project board) along with a 20*4 OLED screen ive established through use of a multimeter, the serout funtion on both chips is working, at the moment, the slave chip in the OLED screen is using the programme it initially came...

Hi i need a segment of code that will allow my 40X2 to respond to a serial input from another pic for example "244" and then output that same number to a position on a 20 x 4 OLED screen my only problem is the "bit in the middle" the transition stage between serin, and serout, ive tried...

HI I'm Sean I'm new here, so, as it stands, my problem: please note, everything is still in the planning proccess yet i have a very good idea of how im going to do things, im yet to actually buy components (since more often than not something will undergo a minor alteration, so everything...
