Half way down the page is an illustrated Picaxe program that might be useful to more than those who are interested in electric bicycles. Google offered a translation of this forum page from an ongoing experiment to improve the performance of an ebike controller by using a Picaxe for throttle...

In another forum a chap is having problems disabling a servo. Servo pin,number then Servopos pin number then SERVOPOS pin,OFF '........ from M2, page 214 in PE 6.0.7.5 (Beta) = syntax error servo pin,off input pin Both work as expected. Comments ?

Over the past year I have invested some time and very little money in a new hobby, collecting 'essential' electronic items from China via ebay at the absolute minimum auction prices. One of these was a TB6560 driver board identical to the one in the first link but at a somewhat lower price...

In radiogareth's thread on 06-04-20013 I posted I have been trying to use the convert to assembler function with the programmer attached but get "Error 53" then "compiler path invalid" then :\.........\picprog\wstamp16.exe" Technical's comment. wstamp16 is an old 16 bit exe, and so won't run...

PNC? I would like to make a Picaxe NC Zaggie foam wing cutting machine and am seeking help with the numbers in the NC bit. Concord (below) has the ability to redistribute X-stations and choosing 100 stations gives 200 'hairy' data points which could be used for a Picaxe program given some...

RustyH's link in post # 26 in the Tank Filler thread got me looking out my own attempt at a fluid level sensor of some years ago. I tried to make an agricultural type Total Internal Reflection / Refraction optical sensor from scratch. A 1/4" slice was sawn from 1/4" Perspex, filed square and...

When 2 channel radios first became affordable I put a missing pulse detector in a servo lead to toggle a relay for an electric motor in a glider giving an extra channel. With the arrival of the Picaxe 08 it could now toggle between servo positions or speed controller powers but the arrival of...

Looking at my previous thread about this driver board I see that I failed to show the simplicity of using it and must have turned away those who have no interest in altering hardware. My hope is that starting a new thread with a more appropriate title might recapture the interest of those who...

I wanted to repeatedly lift a 2 Lbs weight to a variable preset height of up to 12 inches using a 3 inch diameter roller in less than 1.5 seconds when switched. Available was a 1.8 degree, 2.6 Ohm, 4Nm stepper motor and a 2A stepper controller containing a L298n driver and an 18 pin micro, both...

Thought to try the "Convert Basic to Assembler" again on the recently downloaded 5.1.5. with programmer on. Window appears Error: 53 File not found Clicked OK Window appears Following compiler path is invalid.... C:\program files\......\....\wstamp16.exe Two downloads on each of two...

From sideboard thread. BrendonP, Nail hold-down is just that. Holding the component down with tweezers or toothpick means that position control is from the shoulder, at worst, or from the wrist. With the fingertip on the board and the nail on the component there is much less chance of movement...

These 'sideboards' have proved surprisingly convenient but I have been unable to find anything like them in my searching. Has anyone knowledge of something similar or would there be any interest in them? All are single sided, the DIL version was intended to use standard components soldered on...
