Thank you guys

Hi, how do I import this file into KiCad as it looks to be a .kicad_mod rather than a .lib ect? Do I need to change the file type?

The reason I started this thread knowing/not knowing/assuming that the forum was funded or looked after by Rev.Ed wasn't as a platform to start the advertising of the competition, though I do like a good constructive discussion about the cross platforms, but was just to high-lite my concern that...

Picaxe doesn't even get a look in!

A few weeks ago I found myself watching a chap doing some basic flowchart programming on YouTube from about three years ago and then just stopped, so I sent him the message below...... "It looks like it's been a while now but have you ever planned on carrying on with these tutorials" To which...

A welcome home is in order I feel.

This is a quote from "10 Ways to Explore the World of Electronics" from Dummies and Picaxe gets a mention. "A microcontroller is a tiny computer on a chip. You create a program on your computer, and download the program onto the chip. Then when you power up the chip, it follows the...

This is what I meant about Rev-Ed/Picaxe being out there more so that people see it and know about it, this would then spark more amateur tutorials as well as Picaxe's offical ones. A "Picaxe for Dummies" book would be nice too just to note.

It's nice to see that it's not just me that thinks this then. Do Rev-Ed and Picaxe them selves have a presence on the forum to take note and maybe look at the space in the market they're missing out on? I think an educational and instructive channel on YouTube these days is a must if you want to...

I've dabbled with Picaxe on and off for well over ten years now but never in a serious way but always willing to learn more all the time, this time 5yrs ago I couldn't program a PLC and now that I work with them daily I manage round a Mitsubishi PLC quite happily. I was having a look around...

I have to say I find this quite upsetting, all the best and good luck with whatever lies ahead.

would any of the computer buffs out there know whey when I go to this site none of the photos/pictures appear?

I know this is over 10yrs ago now but did any pictures or copy of the code ever get posted?

You have examples of what you've used this for Johnlong?

Might be worth steering clear then and buying a nextion display when I need to.

Been reading bits on the Nextion display and watching videos on youtube as you do, have known about the nextion display for a while but happened to stumble across Stone HMI's, similar setup to the Nextion as in has a PC editor for making the GUI up and a serial connection. Has anyone used them...

This works in the PE6 simulator as an idea of turning a bit on and off from a picaxe input, this being part of b0 would the be sent to the MCP23017 and in theory output A0 would turn on. if pinB.6 = 1 then let bit0 = 1 else let bit0 = 0 endif I didn't think it would be that easy haha...

Hi, question about the code I've written below. It sets up two MCP23017's to be all outputs. I've used b0 to b3 so that I can use the "bits" in my program as if you would an output on a picaxe it's self, so instead of say High C.7 I can do High MCP1_A0 (bit0 of b0) which gets sent to the first...

Morning chaps, thanks for your replies to the thread, I will have a read through the posted links. I wasn't looking at anything as complicated as analogue expansion (not yet anyway) just digital I/O. I was thinking that my 12 ish relays might be nicer fed from some sort of I/O expansion chip...

Just been having a route about the forum and the picaxe website in the FAQ section and just wondered what fellow forumers (if that's a word) thoughts are on adding I/O. There are the following options from what I can see:- 1. Use a bigger picaxe chip (probably the easiest thing to do) 2...
