Hi all, Playing about with the oled display today, i was sending commands to the oled not mentioned in the datasheet supplied. I found that sending 254,19 - dimmed the display, and sending 254,23 brought the display back to it's full brightness. This is really useful, i made a clock/alarm &...

Hi all, I've just been messing with the settimer commmand for the first time, i got it working to increment each time a second passes. I found it's not very accurate, the seconds lag after only about 10 seconds has passed. Is this normal ? Thanks guys, Mark

Hi guys & gals, l0: SERIN [1000,l1],7,2400,("HUMI"),b0,b1 sound 7,(100,10):goto l0 l1: sound 7,(50,50) debug b0 goto l0 Experimenting with the timeout function for the first time my code is above. The problem i have is it seems to eratically timeout or not at all, very random. I have a...

Hi all just thought i'd post & let you know about a little problem i have just encountered. I have a 4 x 20 LCD Display which has been working beautifully ofr a while now, i then started experimenting with user defined characters. My display then got all messed up, wouldn't let me print on all 4...

Hi all, i got an ads1100 AD1 chip delivered today, i copied the code from a post about this chip:- i2cslave %10010000, i2cslow, i2cbyte i2cwrite(%10001100) do i2cread(b0,b1,b2) w5=b0*255+b1 debug loop Now my chip is an AD1 which states the i2c address for it is 1001001x. x - what goes here...

Hi all, does anybody know of a way to get the picaxe to calculate the Moon phases ? Would be really cool to get the lcd to display this. Thanks, Mark

Hi all, to erase my eeprom i write 0's from 0 - 32767 like this:- for w0=0 to 32767:writei2c w0,0:pause 10:next w0 Is there a different quicker way of doing this ? Cheers, Mark

Hi all, i have an annoying problem, i use my picaxe for datalogging, but now for some reason when i have my serial cable connected to my picaxe (28x1), every so often something is happening to cause my picaxe to reset, thus clearing all my datalogging variables which is a big problem. Anyone...

Hi all, i'm having maor problems with the serrxd now on the 28x1, i really feel like throwing these 28x1's in the bin. What i'm doing is sending a string "READY" out from my QBASIC program & trying to receive on the picaxe via SERRXD ("READY"). Looks like it's a timing issue again & no matter...

Hi all, just exchanged my picaxe 28x for a 28x1, now my serin is not working. Here is my code:- serin 7,2400,("TEMP"),b0,b1 The above worked with 28x but now with the 28x1 it doesn't receive it at all now, am i doing something wrong ? Thanks, Mark

Hi, all. Just wondering if anyone has recently bought the lcd firmware chip & found it not to work. I just bought one which wasn't working, checked everything 3 times over & still no joy, we have a pic programmer at work so i took it there & read it. I found that the resonator wasn't even...

Hi peoples, Hope someone can help asap, i'm trying to read from a mcp3202 12-bit adc chip, i really don't know where to start. Just hoping someone on here could possibly have a look at the datasheet for this chip & see if you could help me. Hippy ??? Thanks all.

High all, Is it possible to use the TOGGLE command on say portc 7 ? I've tried but get syntax error :(, this would be really useful for me. Cheers, Mark

Hi all, Can any of you guys help me with the hi2csetup commands. My original code is :- I2CSLAVE %11010000,I2CSLOW,I2CBYTE How do i convert that to work with the new 28X1, i've read the manual which isn't helping at all, no code examples are on there. Cheers, Mark

Hi, what is the max frequency the count command will handle with picaxe running at 16mhz ? It seems it won't count over 25khz no matter what xtal i use (4mhz - 16mhz). I've built a frequency counter with prescalers to convert frequencies down which works well but could do with more accuracy...

Hi all, Is it right that the pwmout command when running picaxe with 16mhz crystal will do 1mhz ?
