    Cannot get rfout and serin to work correctly or reliably

    Hi Alan, Thanks for your patience with me. I've managed to get communication through a wire working flawlessly with the NKM4201 and serin/serout :) Displaying the values of b0-b6 really helped, most of the time the right values were being sent but in the wrong bytes, I added a 25 ms delay to...

    Cannot get rfout and serin to work correctly or reliably

    Hi Alan That makes a lot of sense, thanks for your insight. I've taken your advice and have connected the chips by a hard wire and common ground with sending serout/serin through nkm4201 encoder/decoder. I am getting the same problem, so it possibly wasn't a problem with my radio signals after...

    Cannot get rfout and serin to work correctly or reliably

    I think this might half explain the problem i'm experiencing now. with serout and serin, nothing is received at all. however, only the receiver has an NKM4201 chip. so i tried using rfout and serin and suddenly the receiver was seeing the signals! but all of them were bad packets, i believe this...

    Cannot get rfout and serin to work correctly or reliably

    Hi Alan, Ibenson and Jurjen! Thanks for the help :) I've connected the two chips directly with a wire as suggested! (it took me about 30 minutes because I put the common ground connector in the +V of one of the breadboards... oops) The program is running perfectly! I'm going to try using the rf...

    Cannot get rfout and serin to work correctly or reliably

    Thanks for your reply! yes sorry, when i drew the transmitter diagram i was looking at the labels on the back of the chip and assumed it was the front. I forgot to draw the download circuits... sorry again ! I've updated the diagrams :)

    Cannot get rfout and serin to work correctly or reliably

    Hello, Back in March i was having issues trying to get reliable radio communication working for a remote control car project. Due to a certain world pandemic I stopped working on the project for over a month and have only just begun working on it again. Back in march, Hippy advised that I strip...

    general confusion with remote control car project

    Thats extremely helpful, thankyou! Sorry it took me a while to reply, things have been a bit chaotic recently. I didn't really understand the whole frequency thing and I think when I did it I was just thinking faster = better so why not, I didn't realise it wasn't doing anything :P. Is it normal...

    general confusion with remote control car project

    Ah thankyou a lot for your reply, that makes a lot of sense! if the data didn't match up would I then simply receive it again until it does match up? Whenever this has happened its often when I first power up the controller and the car, I was wondering whether it would make a difference which...

    general confusion with remote control car project

    Hi, I'm currently finishing off my AS DT project which is a remote controlled car thing. I've been learning how to use Picaxe chips as I've been building it and I realise in hindsight some things I've done had much easier solutions so I do apologise if I've made any glaringly obvious mistakes...

    Hi I've had this problem since yesterday, everytime I try to open manual 2 or any part of the picaxe website such as the pinout pages I get an error. I've tried multiple wifi networks and devices and nothing seems to be working. Im so sorry if I'm being stupid and this is planned maintenance...
