I dont know if anyone remembers, but last year about may/june time, i was working on a micromouse. things didn't go so well at the competition, but i have been having another go and things are looking much better now in the fact that my mouse now works! The main issue with it now is that it...

after getting over the previous problem i was having with not knowing the power requirements of my new graphic LCD, I have run into another slight hixk, and i was wondering if anyone would be able to offer any advice. Firstly the data sheet for the LCD can be found at...

I have got a few 122x36 pixel LCD's from ebay, and i have been trying to work out what i need to do with the Vlcd pin which is the power fot the LCD. I do not know if there is a way of telling if there is a built in inverter (charge pump) or if it needs to be supplied with -5 volts? here is a...

Hello All, I have been making a binary clock which has been all fine and dandy up until now. I have just finished it, but a problem developed after about 5 minutes of use, which will not go away now. The clock should wait for the time to increment by 1 minute before making any changes. What...

other than the bug relating to the let pins=, does anyone know of any bugs with the new 5.1.3 version of program editor? i have a program which works fine, until a part which does not even get called is extended. then the servos dont work properly any more, as in one of them will, but the other...

is it actually possible to download to a x1 at 16mhz??? I have been investigating and it would seem that it isnt, because there is no way of telling program editor that it is working at 16mhz. but there is an option for all of the other chips like the 08m ect. is this due to it defaulting to...

Ok, im getting a little stressed now... I left my serial cable and pc at home, but i am using my laptop and the latest program editor to try and get my mouse working. Now, there was nothing wrong with the hardware and it was working fine before the download, running a program that I had...

Just a quick question: Does the picaxe xhip create a stop bit after the data has been sent over i2c to an EEPROM such as the 24lc256? Ben  

Just a little update about my mouse: its 17 days untill the competition and there is still alot of programming to be done, mainly the flood fill alogorithm. But i have already come along way with the project. I have put some videos of what it can do as of the other day on you tube. you can see...

previously i have been using a prgram that uses the scratch pad to store some variables so an average can be achieved. this has never been a problem, untill i updated program editior to 5.1.2 this morning. now i cannot asign variables if i use @ptrinc, but i can to @ptr. the error message is as...

just been looking through the manuels, and I must say i am quite disapointed that i cannot change the device id for the infrain(2) command. i want to have a series of small robots which will be able to respond to the channel being changed on the tv ect, but i also want them to be able to talk to...

technical... Will the new x1 parts be avaliable in surface mount at some point in the near future? Ben  

hello all, got a few pics and some information about my micromouse i have been working on and asking questions about on here for the last few weeks. thought i owed you all a little look at it. i will try and keep the site reguarly updated.... for the pictures, there is a link in the left hand...

on my micro mouse i have two servo's, one for each wheel, in the configuration i have them at the moment i have them when giving both of them a 100 ms pulse, one will got foward, and one will go back. this is all fine, but i need to be able to have a proportional speed control when getting...

Hello all, i am attempting to creat a micro mouse at the moment, and i am using 08M slaves to drive some servo motors, and hopefully a 40X1 or 2 and the main processor. I have seen that when using the servo command it is not possible to use serin or pulsin. this makes it quite difficult to get...

hello, I have been trying to think of a way that I can process audio signals, to create a robot that will respond to music. The inspiration for this has come from a bot called 'keepon'<A href='http://univ.nict.go.jp/people/xkozima/infanoid/robot-eng.html#keepon' Target=_Blank>External Web...

everyone, I am looking for a controller for a clock project i am doing that will allow me to get most colours and shades from an RGB LED. does anyone know an i2c or stand alone chip that will allow me to do this with a minimum of outputs? the highest amount of outputs i can commit to the...

Technical; Would it not be a good idea to get a wiki in addition to the forum to provide a way to answer the newbie questions and allow people to post articles about there projects ect. I just feel it would be a fantastic way to have everything picaxe in one place. Ben  

Just out of wonder... I read on here the other day about multiplexing eeproms for lots of storage (more than 8 i2c chips) and i was wondering how that would be done? Thanks, Ben  

I got one of these a while ago, now im stuck for ideas for what to do with it. So, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good project either that they have done, or that they think would work really well. Thanks
