My question would have been "when will PE6 become PE7?" I have a strong feeling that a PE7 might need to be written by a different (highly motivated) party to keep things moving forward & fresh, but that's just my 2cents ;-)

Yes, that's exactly the goal and a small timeout delay would be used, much like a regular TV remote control, you either type in the complete channel number "23"or it defaults to channel "2" if that was all i pressed within the small delay window.

The commands are emulating a keypad code entry, so 1 to 512 will be needed. Yes, it's a lot of data to store either in the picaxe or external eeprom.

Thanks again Hippy, I'll definitely look into this and see how it goes for my project.

Thanks Hippy for your input, but i'm not entirely sure why you multiply by 10 to create large numbers. what is the reason for doing that? (just so i can get my head around it lol).

The requirement is no different my to TV, where channel 1 is whatever tv station and 12 is some other station, and 123 is some digital radio station etc etc.

No, i can't miss any codes, it must decode 1 to 512 on a remote control to copy what the external equipment expects on its keypad entry.

Hi all, As the title states...."How do we use an IR remote control & detect multiple button-presses?" I'm building a small IR-picaxe interface to add into a legacy piece of equipment, but the equipment needs to detect a single button-press up to a 3 digit button-press to enable different modes...

Nope, No DOH's at all lol I didn't use the "#" symbols because i wanted to see the HEX values instead of the decimal values. I believe it's a legit bug in the simulator. ;-( Feel free to try my code-snippet and see if you also have some missing numbers in the listing, like $9, $A & $D like i do.

Hi again, I tinkered a little to use HEX numbers and found that the listing bugs out when the hex value reaches 9,A or D. if i change "for b0 = $0 to $F" to "$FF", then the counting bug comes and goes through various banks of numbers. Here's the code i used, if anyone wants to try it in their...

Hi all, Thanks for all the options. Thanks Aries, i will use the simulator to help confirm my concepts & coding ;-)

Did you want a single-sided world? or a double-sided world? ;-)

Thanks for that, I have just discovered this in the manual, under the "Variables - Unary Mathematics" section: NOT The NOT function inverts a value. e.g let b1 = NOT %01110000 (answer b1 = %10001111) However, it seems i need to know the data value to be inverted and i simply want to invert...

Hi All, I thought there used to be an "invert" command for picaxe, but maybe not? Anyhoo, i wish to invert the logic of a complete byte/variable before sending that value out to a port. e.g. If i have a variable with "00" stored in it, then i want it to invert to "FF" before sending this data...

Hi All, I've seen a few comments around the web that say the picaxe SERIN pin can be tied to GND to ensure the picaxe operates efficiently and doesn't randomly reboot or pause etc. (assuming the project has no further need to be re-programmed). In all my projects, i've simply replaced the...

Hi All, I have a few small OLED displays (ebay) on my picaxe projects, but these things are tiny at 128x64 pixel resolution. If i upgrade to a physically bigger OLED display, for example 256x128 pixels (double my original size) will this result in my graphics only filling 1 quarter of the...

The module is purely a clock modifier, it's got no audio processing/filtering or otherwise. One pulse in and several pulses out... The transistors in this brand of module are typically just the clock/signal in/out buffers to ensure that control volts and gates/clocks are a decent 0-5v level...

The PIC based unit is made by Doepfer in Germany, they make a whole range of euro synth modular stuff. The item in question is the A160-5 (or A-160-5) clock multiplier/Ratchet controller. There are no schematics (they never provide them), but there's nothing complex about the minimal components...

Hi All, I was asked by a friend if i can build him a clock multiplier circuit for his euro-modular synthesis stuff. I said "sure, it shouldn't be too hard"....and that was the beginning of my failure lol ;-) On the commercial multiplier modules, they accept an input clock anywhere from 0.1hz...

Oh, yes, you're right...for some reason i was thinking 40X2 had double (or more) memory capacity of the 28X2. Oh well, good to know. Now i odn't have to build up a 40X2 based controller ;-) Thanks again.
