    Interfacing PicAxe MicroController to Just Basic (Liberty Basic)

    Serial data collection and presentation in graphical form is something a lot of people desire. If this included yourself consider the free sources available on an Australian site as being used for logging wind driven generator data including Volts, RPM, Amps etc...

    Using I2C for Serial Comms

    Playing with a new controller in Australia known as a MaxiMite based upon a PIC32 ( http://geoffg.net/maximite.html) Currently this system does not have a serial port but has I2C operating OK to a PicAxe for passing bytes. Has anyone ever used I2C on a PicAxe to PicAxe or any orther I2C device...

    Measuring Low AC Voltages

    I want to use a Tong Meter attachment as an input to a PICAXE to measure mains level currents. The switchable output ranges from the tong are typically 3 Ampere range = 0.03v AC RMS or 30 Amps = 0.3V AC RMS which equates to 1mV AC for every 0.1 Amp AC. PICAXE inputs are fine at measuring DC...

    Press & Peel PCB Film and Brother Printers

    Just purchased a Brother B/W Laser printer to use with PnP Film but I noticed on the techniks.com web page (manufacturer of PnP) that there was some problems with Brother laser printers reported but they don't elaborate anywhere. Before buying a 5 pack of PnP has anyone had problems that they...

    Here Is Some Sample DS18B20 Code Inc Negatives

    After messing around with trying to get negative temperatures successfully out of a DS18B20 I thought I'd publish the results as a bit of tutorial code in using DS18B20 generally including a summary of how they operate. Part of what I was trying to achieve was output the data to a serial driven...

    Picaxe math restriction

    Pixaxe will only allow integer calculation and then only with values less than 65535. I'm trying to process some negative temperature values from a DS18B20 and I need to divide by a fraction as follows: I have 16 bit word W1 which contains FF5E. I want to subtract that from FFFF then divide...

    Xmas Challenge - Interfacing to Photo Frames

    Pre Xmas the papers are full of ads for amongst other things 1.5" digital photo frames for $14A and larger 7" ones for less than $50. Has anybody seen a link to interfacing to such devices?

    Wrapping lines in the editor

    How do I wrap long lines in the editor so they print out better without the right hand side going off the screen but still operate as a single line of code in the program. Cheers

    Tutorial Code Using ReadTemp12 & UHF Modules

    Recently I got some assistance from the Forum on getting a pair of UHF radio modules working with a DS18B20 using the ReadTemp12 instruction so I could send temperature readings to a theriotical 4 decimal places. Following is the code that eventuated with a lot of comments including how the...

    Problem receiving DS18B20 temperatures from Tx/Rx units

    I've constructed a pair of 434 Mhz TX/RX units based upon Stan Swan's Silicon Chip article Jan 06. Worked like a dream as designed to transmit temperature integer values using the readtemp instruction. Based upon the success of that I then wanted to calculate & transmit the temperature to 4...
