Hi was looking at the feasibility to communicate to a small pH stamp and send the value to an LCD. My biggest concern is the fact the baud is fixed at 38400 and not quite sure how to handle the response which has a value including decimal and a CR Details from...

Hi, I was wondering if there was a link to where I could download older versions of the editor. I would like to run some tests on some code which I know worked 3 years ago. Just trying to rule out all posibilities before I blame the hardware.

This is our first Robot using a 40X and RP5 tracked Chassis. Great way to get a rover running. My son has created this rover for a school project.

I have made a rover robot and it worked ok on a 40x. Converting to 40X2 I have run into timing problems with servo and ultrasonic. I think the 40X was a little less perdantic It seems that my SRF05 is having trouble running at 8 mhz 40X code runs OK main: for counter = 1 to 20 low 6 '...

Hi in biulding a small tracked rover robot (40x) I was hoping I could slow the bot down (pwm) and also get the servo to move. I understand servo and pwm use the same internal timer ? What about the x2 chips, If pwm is really hardware based can I use the hardware pwm and servo commands at the...

A couple of years ago I mounted a lcd and buttons in a small picture frame. It was OK but still looked like DIY. I have also downloaded the front panel design software where I can get a front panel manufactured. However this is approx US60.00 for a very small aluminium panel. I have a...

Hi, I have two isolated 1-4VDC signals that have to be kept isolated. They are readings from pH and ORP meters and each need their own sperate common. So both these signals need to be integrated into one 40x2 PICAXE. I was thinking of getting LM231 voltage-to-freq converters and try and read...

As I was trolling through the manuals and found the NCD function and was wondering if I could use this function with a simple encoder for an LCD menu system. I didn't know if we have always had NCD or if its an x1 x2 added feature.

I am new to the X2 however just wanted to make sure I understand some concepts prior to the project. This will be my mk II Aquarium controller. As I want the PICAXE to communicate bi-directionally to my PC I had been worried about the serin command just locking up the PICAXE waiting for a...

Anybody used these devices ? or is there something equivalent. It uses the max232 chip for programming and is biult into the motherboard. I assume the PICAXE can use the max232 instead of the standard two resistor network for the progamming port. http://www.dontronics.com/dt106.html

When will this be released...... Anybody seen the capabilities of the web pages that can be served...I am hoping to show dynamic objects...levels going up/down, vaues, buttons etc etc....Are my expectation too high ?

Can I have two PICAXE and one EEPROM chip and get one chip to write the other to read from the EEPROM. I was thinking I could use some digital I/O control lines between the two PICAXE so that both do not try and communicate at the same time. I want one PICAXE to provide temp/pressure and flow...

Anybody seen any developemnt on getting a PICAXE connected to a linksys NSLU2, ie modified web server. The NSLU2 is a linksys network hard drive (ethernet to 2 x USB ports) and can be easily modified ( see "http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Applications/HomePage") which can turn this...

I posted this onto the yahoo forum however thought I would also include it here for comment. I just paid the price of a blown PICAXE40x / EEPROM (I think my LCD is OK however PIC gone)....I removed J3 applied 12 V and gone ! I had the flat side of the 78L05 facing the capacitors as...

Can the speach module say values like "temperature is 23.9 degrees" I suppose you can mix the standard message and the I2C message to save progamming space ? does the voice sound OK, or is it really "tacky" primative ! I want to use it for confirmation of user commands...
