    New to serial

    I have never done any programming of serial communication between Picaxes or anything else, for that matter. There is a lot of info around but it is not organized, so I'm not sure where to start. I've looked around for a beginner tutorial to serial coms on Picaxe with a number of...

    Does anyone know how sensitive these devices (used in RC helicopters, etc.) are? That is, if put in a small car, how close to a straight line can they hold it? A PICaxe would provide a starting reference signal to the servo. Here are several of many available...

    Haven't been on in ages. I've got a lot of catching up to do! I need a simple metal detector to interface with a Picaxe that can detect a metal ball (probably steel) as it approaches to within a couple inches. Suggestions? I would prefer if not operate on light or IR or sound but rather on...
