Just noticed this evening, Sparkfun.com now carries picaxe chips, boards and programming cables for us USA customers. Brian

Sorry for my ignorance, but I've been away from this forum for awhile. Putting all my time and energy into a project with a different microController. I remember it being mentioned some time ago that there was to be a new generation PICAXE introduced sometime around 3rd quarter 2006. I read...

My son asked me to build a project for him. A speedometer for his bike. I plan on using a Picaxe for the brains of the project. Also 2-3 7 segment LEDs for the display. I wanted to display the speed in whole numbers and also tenths, but haven't decided if it'd be necessary to display speeds over...

Working on a holloween project already! I have a 110 volt AC device that I would like to switch on and off at specific times. Something like 30 seconds on, 2 minutes off. I thought of course that the PICAXE would be perfect for the timing. I have a couple 08's that I ordered by accident(instead...

I have a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) that I pulled from a car in a salvage yard. This was in a overhead console display. It shows information such as temp, compass heading, fuel economy, distance till empty gas tank, etc. I thought this would be VERY handy for certain projects, so I...

I am using a 20x4 LCD, and I'm driving it with PH Anderson's kit, Works great, but one thing I notice. I would like the output to scroll up the screen when it reaches the bottom, just like on a computer screen. I noticed when I use the "?n" command for next line, the cursor goes to the...

I just recently started having problems downloading to my 18X chips. I can check the firmware via the "options..." menu. I can also "clear hardware memory" without errors. But when I try to download a program, it errors out with a "memory verification error at byte...

I am running a low power application Picaxe project running at just 3 volts. would it be nessasary to use a resister with an LED? or just tie it directly to the picaxe's output?

I just looked at hackaday.com and just found that today's hack is based on a 08M. Looks like an annoying little device (by design of course) but there's others out there promoting and using picaxes. A direct link to the project is ...

I have a van that I'd like to make a temperature gauge for the transmission fluid temp. Could I use a DS18B20 sensor and electrical tape it to the metal line?(I would probably solder the wires to the leads of the sensor and then hot glue around the exposed leads/wires to insulate them) Or is...

I had an idea for a project, just looking for an appropriate sensor to do the job. My idea is as follows. Clothes dryer vents can plug up with lint. This can be bad for 2 reasons. First of all, it's a safety hazard, the lint could combust and cause a house fire. Secondly, the restriction in...
