It is many, many years since I have used a PICAXE, but I now have a simple application for using one. I found some -08s in the junk box, which I had forgotten about, but they will be ideal for my application. I decided to start by programming one with the simple Flashing LED program to make...

I used several smaller PICAXEs about five years ago for projects, but I have not done any more with them since then- until now. I am doing a project using a 28X2, because I need to use almost all the I/O pins. I am absolutely fine with the hardware aspects, but very rusty with the programming...

This seems such a simple problem that I feel embarrassed about asking it, but I cannot solve my problem. A few years ago, I did several projects using 28X1 chips. These projects included 2 row by 16 character displays. I wrote my own program to drive this display. Now, I want to do a project...

After a break of several years, I have got back to PICAXE for a new project. As I am now using a new computer with Windows 7 (instead of XP and a serial port), I have therefore had to use the new Editor (V 6.0.5.9 Beta) and install the USB cable driver (AXE027) in. (Why oh why does this AXE027...

I have done a few successful PICAXE projects, although my programming skills are not particularly good. I am now wanting to do an i2c project for work. So far, everything is looking good, except for getting the i2c driven 12 bit ADC working. I have bought a Linear Technology LTC2305 demo...

Have I missed something? I have been using an LCD panel with a 28X1, and controlling it using the PICAXE connections and steps broadly as described in Manual 3, at around page 39. My understanding is that the "pins" command works on all 8 input or output bits simultaneously. In the Manual 3...

Have I decided to use an orphan? I can not see how to use the latest edition of the programming software to work with a 20M chip? I have not been able to get any references using the Search facility. Solution? Thanks

I am using the ADCs in a 28X1 in 10 bit mode. I am not happy with the stabiltiy of the ADC value I am seeing. I suspect it is a hardware issue, since, when I use a voltage divider from Vss to ADC1 and from ADC1 to Vdd, I get a reading which does not vary in the last place. When I use my...

I am wanting to change from using the 8-bit adc to a 10-bit adc in an existing 28X1 program, by changing the "readadc" statement to a "readadc10". The 8-bit read requires one word for the result. But a 10-bit read requires a word plus 2 bits. Where are the additional 2 bits stored? Is there...

This is a very naive question, but I can not find an answer which I fully understand and can feel confident about, when writing my first piece of code. This is despite Searching through the Forum. It concerns bits, bytes, words and variables. A word consists of two 8bit bytes. The manual...
