I have a student running Win10. He has PE6 installed. He can successfully connect to a picaxe 08m2 via an axe027 cable. But he can't check the syntax or program the 08m2 as both the icons are grayed out. It doesn't work from the Picaxe menu list either. Restarting the program makes no...

I normally use the "double install" method for the axe027 cable. I delete the windows drivers (from Device Manager) and then manually find the driver from a folder on my pc. After a successful driver install it comes up with AXE027 PICAXE USB COMx under Ports in Windows Device Manager. It works...

I've built another ebike based on this design: https://www.instructables.com/Friction-drive-build-for-bikes/ However I've used a pair of brushless motors recycled from electric drills. I am also reusing the control electronics. The speed of the motors is controlled by a 0 to 5V signal from the...

Hi, I'm building an ebike. The motor for the bike is a 24V, 250Watt brushed DC motor running off a 24V lithium battery. I'm controlling the motor with the circuit attached. The circuit has been cobbled together from snippets found on the net. Probably not good design practice. However, it seems...

It appears that in later versions of Linux (ie using kernels later than 3.12) the way that parameters for the ftdi_sio module are passed to the kernel have changed making the instructions included in the Linaxepad download inaccurate. This has been reported in the post by bpowell at...
