Is there a bug or restriction in the HI2CSetup command that means address $00 cant be used? When I use $00 the code seems to reset. I am trying to use I2C communication to the AS3935 Franklin Lightning module. In the code below, when I set the address=0 for the I2C communication, the code...

https://www.tindie.com/products/TAUTIC/as3935-lightning-sensor-board/ I just received mine, has anyone played with this yet? Just to whet your appetite this is I2C or SPI, 2.4 to 5V and estimates leading edge of a storm lightning from 40km to 1km in 14 steps. I will post some code when i have it...

I have a project that i would like you use the WiFly by Roving Networks. Has anyone got a basic working example using any picaxe chip connecting to a WiFly and then to the intertubes? I want to push weather data to COSM.

I am providing this as a working example of accessing the Microchip 23K256 SRAM chip using a 28X2 Picaxe chip. This chip has 32768 x 8bit Bytes available. I had to slow down the SPI but that might be due to the wiring using long leads etc. 'Written 26-JUL-2012 to 28X2 'Written/Modified by...

This is a working solution. I am using the BMP085 to provide pressure data in a remote weather station setup. I have used the Q16.16 Arithmetic Module by Jeremy Leach and a paper Floating Point Calculations for the BMP085 The readings were a little variable so I used the oversampling to...

Temperature Flasher for the Garden 48 and still in short pants and playing when every I am allowed. Try something simple, the first thing I did in my hydroponic setup was to measure the temperature. If you want to open vents, I assume you too will want to do that at some set temperature. Here...

OhmArt has his latest offering, a tribute to the Picaxe family. http://www.zazzle.com.au/the_picaxe_family_tree_mousepad-144422375186978385

Here in Australia, middle of winter and it is getting cold in the shed, about 12deg C. Too cold for a Cleverwatts meter to talk at 57600 baud to a Picaxe 28X2 with a 8Mhz resonator. As soon as the shed temperature comes back up above 12 deg C, communications are all good again. How do I auto...

A quick question, does the 18X support shiftout, spiout? I get a syntax error when I try it. From reading the forum, it seems to be the case, I did want a definit answer, before I go bit-banging. Oh, the manual does say YES, well, it has the 18X bolded on the manual pages for SHIFTOUT &...

Here is a give-back to the forum. I have the code for setting and reading a DS3234 RTC chip that come on a break out board from the land of SparkFun. Here is a basic working version. Enjoy. #PICAXE 28X2 #terminal 19200 #no_data #no_table SYMBOL StdFreq = M16 'Has 4MHz Xtal...

Editor 5.3.6 and Datalink I installed the version 5.3.6 , upgrading from 5.3.3 and every time I ran the software, the data-link (F9) dialog kept popping up. I could not stop it, every second I closed it then it was back after 1 to 2 seconds. I did have a connected and running PixAce28X2 that...

I have a 18X chip and i want to count the pulses per minute. It should be in the range on about 20 per minute. The problem is, the main loop seems to be not running. I started with the code from the manual SETINT section. I think I should see this X.....Count=1 .........Count=2 ..Count=3...

In a Picaxe28X2, is the a way of programming all 4 slots automatically? If not, can this option be added to the editor? Maybe via directive in the SLOT0 code, to program slots 1,2,3 before doing slot 0. Cheers

I need to stun a fish ... ok, let me back up a bit, I have a request from a PHD student who is working with Zebra fish and he needs to provide a stimulation voltage to make the fish do something sciencey ... Anyway the Picaxe stuff is easy, but what I can not think of is a neat way to provide...

Can someone tell me which pins on the 14M can be used for readtemp command when hooked to the lovely D18B20 temperature sensor? What is the syntax to use them? READTEMP 1, B0 As for the 14M2, I assume it will work on all the pins, C.0 to C.5 and B.0 to B.5 READTEMP B.1 B0 Thanks
