I you wantto use your programmer you need to read the device' manual to figure this out. You will also need to install the software needed for the programmer.

You would either need an EEPROM programmer to do that or you could build your own EEPROM programmer with a PicAxe! The second option should be an easy and project to do with a PicAxe.

I was hoping to avoid microSD due to the nightmares I still get with the DFPlayer mini - you need to have a compatible uSD card, most of the times my uSD cards end up really messed up. I know I can use USB on the DFPlayer, but I was hoping to move away from that module, too many clones are sold...

Thanks for the tip Erco. I have been using those modules myself too with great results. Would be great if they would also support playing files from a USB flash drive instead of the onboard flash.

How about you build one using an easy to learn and use language: Liberty Basic! It a great little language and very easy to learn, since it's basically Basic ;-)

There are several options available. A standard 433MHz or 3.4GHz RF transmitter/receiver module should be able to do this job if you use a proper antenna. Take a look at the JDY-40, a 2.4GHz wireless "serial" link: https://w.electrodragon.com/w/images/0/05/EY-40_English_manual.pdf You will find...

Great news Technical. I take it you use the WebSerial API for this. The WebUSB API will let you bypass the need for OS drivers and support code download on platforms such as android phones/tablets.

You could also loop the serial port and get the transmitted data back into the PC.

...maybe because the product is dying and Rev-Ed will not put any resources into it anymore?

I have been using Fritzing since I dropped doing home-made PCB boards. It's easy to use and a great tool for up to 2 layer boards. You can also design custom shape PCB boards with it, which I think it's a great feature. Unfortunately, the Picaxe library is outdated but you can follow a few...

I have been using Fritzing for the last 4 years along with JLCPcb with great success for SMD boards. @Technical is Rev-Ed going to update the Picaxe library for Fritzing?

How about this one then: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gikfun-Solder-able-Breadboard-Arduino-GK1007U/dp/B07D7PMCG5/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=solderable+Breadboards&qid=1684490092&s=industrial&sr=1-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 You get 5 PCBs and also have holes to mount them securely.

Robin, have a look at amazon.co.uk. If you search for "solderable breadboard" you will find similar products to what Flenser has proposed.

You could try to use the rs-485 protocol which is designed for a bus topology using a master/slave model. There are modules in the Chinese market for rs485-to-ttl translation. You still use serial in/out on the picaxes but you need to implement the master/slave model in order to make sure that...

Hello hippy. Yes, you could see it that way. If it solves your problem with the ftdi driver installation then definitely there is a business case for it. I don't know much about it either, I just used both APIs (WebSerial & WebAPI) for a project and it worked brilliantly. I remember seeing MS...

Apparently, this is a proposal for Rev Ed and it would be great to have their feedback. Additionally, the same concept, using the WebUSB API, could be used for Win/Linux machines removing the need to install any drivers, which lately are the source of many headaches especially since the release...

Hello all. I am experimenting lately with WebSerial and WebUSB APIs in order to get a Picaxe chip to communicate with a web application. My main target was to get a Picaxe talking over a usb-serial cable to the web application (running on an android mobile phone/tablet using chrome browser)...

What cable are you using to connect to that board?

U3 looks like an accelerometer. That could be how it understands motion. Those are usually i2c devices, so getting a but pirate device or a cheap 8-channel usb type logic analyzer could help you even more identifying this chip.

Yes, you are right, 330 Ohm resistor might be a bit high, but it makes sense to protect the LED and not drive it at it's limits. This will extend the LED's life. Also, you need to consider that you need to protect the Picaxe's pin as well, which has a sink/source capability of 20mA, if you are...
