    Grove Barometer High Accuracy

    I have made the changes and to make it easier I ran the code in Picaxe Editor 5. I wasn't sure what to do after that so I opened the terminal window and got an unchanging output of the following (and the Y had two dots above it - 255 255 Y

    Grove Barometer High Accuracy

    This is the converted code from my second post. A simple picaxe basic code to test if the device is working would be helpful. symbol varA = w0 symbol varB = w1 symbol varC = w2 ; Temporary word variables used by Grove modules. symbol grove_w1 = s_w1 symbol grove_w2 = s_w3 symbol grove_w3...

    Grove Barometer High Accuracy

    Just to add I tried the below program and could not change the readings for the temperature by putting my finger on the sensor. Debug would not change and showed: VarA 00045 $002D VarB 00000 $0000 VarC 00001 $0001 All other Variables were zero.

    Grove Barometer High Accuracy

    Just trying to get the Grove Barometer High Accuracy working with my Axe300 board in Blockly. I am confused about how to combine the VarA (sign +/-), VarB (integer) and VarC (remainder) into something readable on a Grove lcd module.

    setting up a new windows 7 computer to use the Editor

    You should be good to go with the serial cable, as you seem to be aware to install the software for the download cable before plugging it in. Most of the time it will work fine. I'm sure if you have any problems someone here will sort it out. Once the editor and download serial cable software...

    ds1307 Day Light Saving Adjustment for Aust.

    For a very amusing look at programming time zones look up Toms Scott's video. It made me sympathise with what programmers have to put up with just to let us normal everyday folk get on with our "digital" lives. The video is called - The Problem with Time & Timezones - Computerphile

    Are any of the Serial OLED Modules already soldered?

    As the title suggests are any of the OLED Modules you sell already soldered (except for the connection to the Picaxe of course). I would rather not solder them up myself but for a couple of the modules it doesn't specify if they are self assembled ie soldering required.

    Cant get Grove MP3 Player to Work

    At the moment my basic code is simply what I have below, not sure what I need to add to make it work. I just need a small program to play mp3 file 1 (0001.mp3) and I think I can work out the rest from there. serout B.1,t9600_8,($7E,$FF,$06,$09,$00,$00,$02,$EF) pause 100 serout...

    Cant get Grove MP3 Player to Work

    Just another couple of questions I have. Can you use the Seeed MP3 board on one of the other connectors? As far as I can see there is only one UART connector and when I get things running correctly I wish to use a bluetooth board as well as the MP3 board. I thought a serout might work but I...

    Cant get Grove MP3 Player to Work

    Hi all, Just received my AXE300 board and a few grove sensors to play around with, but I cant seem to get my MP3 board to make any sort of sound. I am using the standalone Blockly app for windows. I assume you plug the MP3 board into the UART port (middle bottom of the board), but I have no...

    Wireless Joypad to Serial Board

    Just wondering if I can get some help with this board I just received, it is a wireless ps2/ps3 controller serial receiver board. I thought it would be a simple as a serin command and then debug (in a loop) to work out what button spits out what value, but instead it just stops at the serin...

    Anyone Used Nextion Displays?

    Just googling touch screen displays that I can use with my Picaxe, and found these Nextion displays and they seem perfect - cheap, easy to connect to - serial only, and have a touch screen. The problem is I haven't been able to find any Picaxe code to get me started, or even if the Picaxe can...

    Have a problem with my AXE401 Boards

    I have had a couple of AXE401 boards for a year or two and never used them, so I thought it was about time I got them out. New computer (Windows 8) as well so I installed drivers and program editor. Anyway I tried the led blink test from the AXE401 manual just to see if everything was working...

    I'm pulling my hair out here, Im not able to install the device driver, it states - "device driver installed correctly" and then immediately after "driver not installed correctly", I have the pdf file but nothing is the same as described, no wizard comes up, and manually updating does the same...
