During a cupboard clear-out, I "found" one of these; Honeywell HIH-4000-002 Humidity Sensor, Bought from Farnell years ago. Still in its delivery box and unused. It's a bit too esoteric for me, so if you're in the UK and can give it a good home, please PM me. e

Background. I have built an above-ground pond of c. 1500 litres and I’m setting it up. I run two Solar panels, each powering a small pump feeding a small biofilter. I’d like to run the pumps when it’s dark. I have several 12v Lead acid batteries from 80Ah to 7h Ah, which can be fully charged...

Ethernet cable advice. Not Picaxe, but I trust the experts on this Forum. My Internet speed varies during the day from ~11 Mbps downwards to ~ 3 Mbps I bought a cheapish category 6 10 Metre ethernet cable and tested two Win 10 computers Wireless on, then Wireless off and Ethernet. The...

O Tempora O mores. Amazing how strange times encourage other thoughts. I found an old post of mine from 11 years ago. https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/touch-screen.12219/ Then, amazingly, I have found two touch screens!! ** See post #3 for correction **** One “naked”, and the other...

I have used Windows 7 for years and am happy with it. But it will very soon disappear. : -( I have a PC with Windows 10 which I do NOT like. I also own a Mac. Question. What can I use instead of W7 which is 1. Easy to install. 2. Reasonably easy to operate. 3. Can run PICAXE. I've...

Not quite OT I own an ancient and faded Lowe HF-225 (bought new c.1991) and a "new" s/h HF-150, received today. I own two AXE027 cables http://www.picaxe.com/docs/axe027.pdf (schematic at the end of the pdf). I've tried both receivers with the HF-150 program...

Just "found" this on the BBC news site. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34639183 Just for interest, or, someone might even try building a PICAXE version. e

I've just "found" this, browsing the Rapidonline site. http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/picaxe_examples.htm It might be useful to someone. e

I've just bought a 2.4G Nestbox camera. On the bench, all seems to work OK. The receiver is mains powered, so no problems next to my computer. The transmitter needs 8 volts, but, I cannot run a permanent mains lead to the proposed nestbox site. (about 10 metres, L.O.S). And, I do not want a...

Uncle Ec's on his travels. We'll be moving soon, and will be travelling light. Everything here is being sorted into three piles: Take, tip and give-away. If any schoolteacher, or other "deserving" group is interested in assorted electronic and PICAXE bits, please PM.

Wandering round old Forum posts, (It's too cold and rainy to go out : -) I found this site: http://reviseomatic.org/help/e-index/Index%20by%20Level.php?error=404 PICAXE gets several mentions btw. It might be useful for browsing? e

Short version. Saturday, very early, a Heron (I assume) ate 3 of the 5 goldfish from my newish 3m x 4m garden pond. I've covered the pond, using "bean-netting" (6" mesh), but it looks ugly. Two questions. 1. A recommendation for a "trail" or "wildlife" camera which will help establish...

Possibly OT, and definitely whimsical, but .. How about some suggestions for a Picaxe controlled tea-temperature alarm? See http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01s5c3s/James_Mays_Man_Lab_Series_3_Episode_5/ from ~ minute 36. e

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01qb0r1/The_Genius_of_Invention_Power/ Another possibly interesting programme? Just adopt a laid-back approach to the Meeja verbal presentation. Look at the pictures and ideas instead. :-) e
