Hi all, I've got a 20x4 LCD running parallel with a 20M2. I've done a few 40X2's & 18X's parallel before, without too many issues, using B.4=DB4, B.5=DB5, B.6=DB6, & B.7=DB7 of the 40X2 so works basically as per the Picaxe Manual-3 as is, but this time I needed to configure the LCD to the LHS of...

Hi, I've been hunting through the forum & Youtube for a couple of weeks & seem to getting nowhere! I have a 40X2, routing it throughan RS232 to a SIMCOM 5320E module, with a few LED's each step of the code to see what's going on. I'm positive I've got the circuit right (but of course I could...

Hi all:-) Nice to see many of the same names in the forum from when I was last "playing" with PICAXE's a couple of years ago :-) At the moment we get wiring harnesses made, which we subsequently fit over a period of a few days. Unfortunately when we switch on we often find there are errors at...

Hi all, I know there are plenty of posts on interference - I've been sifting thru them, and from what I can see I've done just about everything except putting the PICAXE in a metal box, but before I pull everything apart, ... I am using an 18X looking at a few inputs, run an LCD, and on...

Hi all:-) I have a little project I have been working on, on & off for a month or so... I am counting the number of cars passing a given spot (either direction) and recording how many pass at each speed. Also, if they go too fast, they are beeped. Basically, it works... 98% of the time! OK, I...

Hi, I know this should be dead simple, but I just cannot get it to work, and searching thru the forum has just got me further lost, so, help! I have an 08M in effect watching for various sequence of events from different inputs, and when a certain sequence matches (this could be many minutes to...

Hi, I an using an infrared photo interrupter (Jaycar ZD1901) with a rotating plastic disc with slots to provide a hi/low trigger. I'm OK with the PICAXE coding, but how can I make sure I'm going to capture eash trigger point? With about a 4.5v Vcc, it measures a High voltage out of about 2.8v...

Hi all, I often finish up using bits of code that's on the forum in some of my programming, but quite often there are bits & pieces in there that I don't understand, or spend a while trying to find out, primarily when it comes to using operands, etc. I have had a few hunts on the Rev-ed...

Hi all :-) I have 2x Historic bikes we are racing in a week’s time, neither of which have tacho’s that are worth watching! All I want are 4-5 LED’s for approaching gear change points. I’m comfortable doing the programming side, using “count”, etc is plenty...

Hi, I’ve got questions for experts of basic electronics!... When it comes to putting in resistors into the circuits, I have basically been following the suggestions in the PICAXE manuals but not really being comfortable as to exactly what’s happening, although it has been working...

Hi, I've set myself a little project... a series of electronic keys to enable time 'credit' for the kid's access to the TV, x-box, etc. My thoughts are simple resistor keys recognised by the Picaxe ADC pin, I can do a coundown per whoever's key is plugged in per an LCD, and I can turn on/off...

Hi all, I've got myself a little task to replace my PC mouse with an arcade style joystick (ie: 4x momentary-on micro switches) & seperate button. I've had a quick browse on the 'net, and it appears the basics of the PS/2 mouse are relatively straight forward... 0 & +5v for logic 0 &amp...

Hi all, this one's had me stumped for a couple of nights now!! I'm playing with an 18X on a Project Board, running a 2x16 LCD direct, running code similar to that used in the PICAXE Manual Sect.3-Interfacing Circuits - ie: using the wrchr & wrins sub-routines. I am getting a 0-5v input...

Hi all, I've hooked up my 18X direct to a 16x2 LCD. it works fine writing a nominated variable string (like by using... EEPROM 0,"hello") into the EEPROM, and reading it a letter at a time to send it to the LCD. What I have been trying to do is send a 3-character output - ala the...

I have recently got an AXE090 Experimenter Board-1/2 way through assembling:-) There are sections of the schematic with the paperwork supplied, but I cannot see on the website a full schematic of the AXE090 Experimenter Board. Does anyone have one? or point me to the http:// for a full schematic?
