    Addressing bits in loop counters

    Chips 28X1 & 18M2 I am trying to set/clear some bits. At the moment I am setting/clearing separately e.g. Bit1 = 0 Bit2 = 0 and so on What would be easier would be to be able to do something like; Counter1 being a register B5 and above For counter1 = 3 to 11 BitCounter1 = 0 next counter1...

    Inverting a bit

    I am trying to invert a bit, in this case Bit4 The following code: Bit4 = Bit4 nand Bit4 Should I believe invert Bit4 as should: Bit4 = Bit4 nor Bit4 However the Programming Editor returns errors on both, but not on: Bit4 = Bit4 and Bit4 Bit4 = Bit4 or Bit4 What am I doing wrong????

    speed of Picaxe chips

    Guys I am using a 28x1 @ 4 mhz. The program runs well, but i would expect it to run faster. Is there a table of average times it takes to execute commands? As an example; Do commands involving Scratchpad & Table take longer than Ram? I realise it is a "how long is a piece of string question"...

    Possible USB/RS232 USB010 issue

    I have a USB010 cable purchased in 2005. This has not been used for 3 years. I have tried unsuccessfully to down to a 18M2. I have also tried to download to a test board that I have programmed previously. On the OPTIONS tab I can't "see" the USB/RS232 interface. Using the RS232 test I see no...

    Debug

    I have a project using a reading a SRF02 & 28x. It is a simple distance mearsuring program; reading the SRF02 & displaying the results. I need to look at the O/P of the SRF02. I inserted a bebug command to look at the output of the SRF02. This worked for a couple of days, then started...

    Adressing bit within loops

    Hi Guys, I am maninipulating 32 bits, obviously across 4 bytes. I need to run something like; Test: B0 = 0 For counter1 = 1 to 6 '7bits if bit[counter] = 0 then test2 bit[counet] = 1 Test2:next counter From my reading theis is not possible, or have I missed something? Gonzo

    High Speed Serial

    Hipy! I have been looking at interest at the threads on highn speed serial.... I am running a 28x Summerising what has been written; Conventional wisdom says that at a 4meg clock 2400 is the highest recommended by Reved. Correct? If you use the peek/poke method yo can run at 9600. Correct? If...

    Wireless links

    I need to build a radio link, High speed is not an issue. I was contemplating the XBee-Pro as distance & terrain are an issue at 150 metres,with some trees, but essentially LOS. A high gain aerial on one end is a possibility. Question has anyone used them? Has anyone an idea on range...

    40 KHZ pulse train adain!!

    I went thru this a while back... I need to generate a 40 khz pulse train for an ultrasonic measuring device for measuring the water in a tank. Previous advice was to use an external inverter, easy enough. That was until Mr Google found this gem...

    40 KHZ pulse train

    I need to generate a 40khz pulse train for an ultrasonic device. I need in phase 7 out of phse outputs, obviously using 2 pins. I am using a 28x @ 4mhz Options include pwmout or pulsout commands. From the look of it pwmout will not be quick enough. Does anyone know how fast it will go? That...

    Indirect Addressing

    OK Brains trust; I need to fill a bunch of memory with data, on one occasion with the same data. On another occasion with data form the serial port. I am looking for an instruction like poke (b0), temp1 ; where bo is the address into which the data in temp1 is to be stored. This is a standard...

    Serial I/O

    I intend to use a 28x in a project that require serial communications between devices. This is over a distance of 500 metres, so I am using RS422 chips on the serial i/p & o/p. Question; Do the serial i/p & o/p perform normally afet downloading the program. Or does the PICAXE overlay...
