Hi Hippy Sorry it took so long to get back to you. We will use breadboards at first to test PICAXE. No way we want to cook this PICAXE board by mistake. Sure would help if PICAXE would sell the breadboard programming adapter assembled. Happy Holidays! Bob Monday 12/26 @7 pm

Hi Have not gotten alerts for all these responses. We are grinding our way through Microchip assembler. Picked up PICAXE to see their assembler examples. Happy Holidays! Bob 11 AM Saturday California

Hi We have an alert saying OLDMarty responded to this post. We don't see anything. Why is that happening? Happy Holidays! Bob @11 AM Saturday California

Thank you hippy and papaof2 Our PICAXE project is next. Currently doing some testing. PICAXE does have Editor 5 for download. Click on Editor 6 instead of download.Take you to a page with description and option to download version 5 and something called Logicator for PIC. Have a good...

Hi hippy Here is the info about using a PIC with WJEC template. ' All tutorials can be simulated on-screen or downloaded to a real-life PICAXE-18M2 chip on the AXE056 or AXE091 boards (or on a home-made circuit on a breadboard). If using the AXE056 project board to run a PIC16F88 (programmed...

Thank you Hippy and oracacle 'WJEC Assembler ' Looks like they are two ways to implement it if we understood it correctly. 1 Use an 'as is' 18M PICAXE 2 Use a PIC with the PICAXE assembler template programmed into it. Will take another look at WJEC tutorial and nail that down. oracacle...

Thank you Alan 'educational" purpose ' Educate ourselves we suppose. Been plunking along with assembler with the classic PIC's for quite awhile. 16F84 16F872 16F877.Some others. We saw the 'header' for WJEC assembler. Looks like the one PICbasic uses. Same idea. We plan to move up to C...

Hi Alan We will be using the JWEC assembler of the PICAXE editor. Edit: WJEC not JWEC. If anything chokes we will move over to regular assembler. 'for Data and Clock pulses ' That has been sort of throwing us. We hear 'clocking' and we think there is a steady stream running all the time. We...

Hi Sorted this out. It came back to us where we left off with this. The parellel slave port module.Yes.We know it is not serial. Here is screenshot of datasheet section. Looks like we just jumper whole port over to 8 LED's.Then start coding. That will do us for now. Have a nice day Bob...

Thank you oracacle All we want to do is send out bits to one of these boards we have to light up 8 LED's on another board connected to it. Use a module on a PIC successfully. That is the goal. Here is type of board. We have this board and a bunch of others.Some of them have pins marked SCO...

Here is a screenshot of 16F872 MSSP then SPI section. See a warning sign for us there. It talks about clock. We are probably looking for kind that you pulse one time and then it sends the 8 bits serially. Have a nice day Bob @11:30 AM Friday California time

Which one is a 'one time' way to do this? We've read about synchronous and asynchronous many times. Still a little unclear about which one works like this: Set up say a PIC MSSP module. Set up or configure. Then you pulse it one time and it sends 8 bits. Probably we are looking for the...

Thank you erco and eclectic Looks like it has a barrel jack. Read up on power connections in the little .PDF manual. Screw connectors run right into board bypassing 7805 regulator. 9V barrel jack runs through the regulator. This may be the first development board we've gotten with this kind...

eclectic We heard you when you said buy some PICAXE chips. Here is what is coming with the board: 1pcs,pic axe-20m2 micro controller chip 1pcs, pic axe-18m2 micro controller chip 2pcs, pic axe-28x2 micro controller chips 2pcs, pic axe-40x2 micro controller chips Another question about your...

Thank you hippy Sounds there is no on/off switch on this board. Yes.One of those is a good thing. We would say these are the sort of connectors are on the board. In manual we thought they mention 'center positive'. For the 9V power supply. That sounds like a barrel jack. We'll find out...
