I was wondering wether anyone had any clues or idea on how to build a robot/machine that can open a newspaper, close to centre? The trick is the newspaper is on a pile of 13 and needs to be able to open each one before moving it along. Thanks in advance, Lliam

Hi everyone, Just thought some of you may be interested in the robotic arm I have made that you may have herd about. It uses PICAXE 28X and 5 servo motors and was constructed and designed interlay from scratch. Please rate the project, in terms of creativity/skill/design/etc... Also feel...

Not sure if you guys want to hear about this, but i'd like to experiment with a PIC chip... Any one know somewhere that will send decent (quality) samples shipped to Australia? I've had a look but the one's I've found only do this for universities etc... Thanks.

Hello everyone, What is the best way to monitor a Home-Made DC 22V Max Variable Power Supply. I would like to have the voltage displayed on a few (maybe 3) 7 segment displays if its not to hard, any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Lliam

Hello everyone, I have been experimenting with a NTC thermistor and have finally come up with a conversion formula, but... temp=0.00032442727*w0^2-0.342224714*w0+115.3133411 will obviously not work in a PICAXE... Does anyone know how to do this? Thankyou, Lliam

I know this has been brought up before, but there has yet to be a clear answer... Is there a way to increase pulse resolution; on say, an 08-M 4Hz? Research shows that you can only get down to 10us blocks? there must be a fairly simple way to increase this, surly the developers didn't restrict...

A quick question: To control a servo; When I use the PICAXE terminal program to send data to a PICAXE chip (08M) Receiving with: serin 3,N2400,b1 I can only receive the first number... So "213", returns "2" The next step I took was: serin 3,N2400,b1,b2,b3 This did...

Hello again and thanks everyone for your help in my last stage of production. I have a quick question, how do i receive True serial data such as T2400? I can get N2400 easily

I have just installed Crossover, a windows simulator program. I then installed the Program editor. It opened but then came up with the following error: Run-time error '335': Could not access system registry Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? Thanks

It would be very interesting and handy if a version of the program editor was available that ran on, say, a mobile phone? This would be incredibly handy for remote projects and even quick fixing of programs. Is it possible?

--------------------Continue VB Post-------------------- Thankyou for you help Hippy. So the data is binary for an ascii character? I tried out the code but I'm not exactly sure what the second part does; Else RXArray(I) = "<" I = I + 1 RXArray(I) = Hex(RXbyte \...

It would be great if the Program Editor worked on macs, as many schools use macs now. Also it would be nice to see a program developed for easy computer interfacing. For example if the PICAXE sends out a variable graph it and be able to send back data.

Guys, I have been experimenting with VB, but still can not et it to read simple variable sent out, vier the PICAXE with the sertxd command. Could some one help me with the setup?

Does anyone know were I can get a cheep gyro sensor thats picaxe compatible?

does anyone know of a cheep and small temperature sensor that is easily adaptable to PICAXE. By temperature sensor I mean one of the ones that can sense from a distance. I'm looking and a 3-cm to 4m range.

I have recently been experimenting with the SFR005, which works great! anyway, i designed and built a circuit that contains an 08-M which outputs the distance from pin0 as serout N2400. When I use another 08-M I have found that the variables read from serin are random and not accurate at all...

Does anyone know who to change a servo motor by adding an output so that the position is readable? This would be helpful to determine when the servo reaches its destination, if it is under extreme load, and also in programs were the same variable is used to drive different motors at different...

I have got myself two identical stepper motor from a large printer and just wondered if anyone has any info on them. The label is as follows: -------------------------- Stepping Motor type: 2878-9012 1.8d/step Rw=75R ORIENTAL MOTOR -------------------------- The motor have 5 leads in this...

Hi everyone, just a quick question, does anyone know if it is possible, say for an 08-M to monitor the battery level of it's own batteries? anyone done this?  

Has anyone made a cheep wireless download cable??? I tried using the same IR circuit as used for serial communication, but this didn't work. Any ideas?
