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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

Just bought a couple of these MP3 players for a project and I am struggling to understand the Arduino code example given. I haven't received them yet and so cant try any code, but I wish to understand a bit before they arrive and use them for my picaxe shield. I dont need a full program, just a...

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...

Am I going crazy or is the pinout diagram in the pdf for the ultrasonic rangefinder backwards? I mean the echo out and the trigger in pins for mode 1.

I wish to panel mount a socket to program my Picaxe. My question is which connection is which? Has anyone used this type of socket and can point out the serial in, serial out, and earth on my pic. Thanks

I have been looking for a cheap voice recognition board to interface to my Picaxe system for years. I came across the VRbot board recently and have been wondering if it would be difficult to use with the Picaxe system. Best of all it can be had at Sparkfun for less than $60. Anyone have any...

Just wondering if the Iphone/Ipod Touch compiler is still being worked on. It was advertised as "under development" in June 08 and not a word since. I am just wondering if it has been shelved or not.

I always thought the following would work to play a numbered mp3 file stored in a variable to a Vmusic player - serout 4,t9600_8,("vpf ",b3,".mp3",CR) On trying it out I see you have to convert the number into the ascii equivalent using the bintoascii command. I this the correct way to do...

I have trying out a voltage divider setup on a breadboard, and have it working correctly, but I am unsure of the values for the resistors needed to get a good spread of values for the analogue reading. At the moment the plan is for two lots 6 identical resistor values going to two analogue...

Having a look through the command manual 2 I cant find any info for PWM or PWMOUT for the Picaxe 20M. Is it not yet in the manual, or is it not supported?

I am thinking of buying one of the Picaxe 20M boards with the ULN chip for a project which will, among other things, light a few RGB LED's. The ULN chip always confuses me with the output to 5v not ground, so I thought I should get confirmation before buying the LED's on which type I should...

Before you ask - yes I tried search but with 20 pages to wade through I thought it would be easier to ask. I am trying to use a servo and a LED together on a Picaxe8M breadboarded. I realise that the Servo commands and PWM commands need a timer and there is only one in the picaxe, so one or...

I spotted this wireless controller with a receiver board. Very cheap price, but can a Picaxe connect to it easily? It has a few links of info included for mainly Basic Atom boards. http://www.lynxmotion.com/Product.aspx?productID=552&CategoryID=46 Can anyone help with a short debug type...

I just thought you might like to know of an error in the pdf file for the SRF005 Ultrasonic Transducer. There is a small mistake in the program listing on page 3. The line - symbol range = w1 has been omitted. Not a big mistake but for someone new to Picaxe might cause a few problems. By...

I am trying a simple random code for the Vmusic and cant ge ti to play sounds, the serial line in the program has an error that I can see I think - setfreq m8 pause 1000 main: random w0 w1 = w0 // 18 + 1 serout 4,n9600_8,("vpf ",w1,".mp3",CR) wait 4 goto main Can anyone tell me what I am...
