    ESP8266 to 08M2 via serrxd

    Folks - I am attempting to send serial data from an ESP8266 to an 08M2 via the serial in pin using the serrxd command. Both devices are running on 3.2vdc. I can receive the data from the ESP perfectly on the 08M2 if I use any other pin and the serin command at 4800bd but I receive nothing using...

    Using time of programming as unique ID

    Folks - Not too long ago there was a thread which spoke about using the time of day when the Picaxe was initially programmed with its firmware to create a reasonably unique ID if one wanted to use multiple Picaxes in a network. I have searched high and low and haven't been able to find it. Is...

    Problem with the 'and' command.

    Folks - I am having issues with the following code. I should be getting a 0 when using the 'and' command with the number 4060 (111111011100 in binary) which a calculator gives me but when run in the simulator and in a 08M2 I get a result of 1. The variable W1 holds a 26 bit number which...

    I need more Bits.

    Folks - I am using an 08M2 and I understand that there are 32 bit variables available - as stated in Manual 2: b0 = bit7: bit6: bit5: bit4: bit3: bit2: bit1: bit0 b1 = bit15: bit14: bit13: bit12: bit11: bit10: bit9: bit8 etc... My program requires up to about 48 bit variables to be controlled...

    Is result odd or even?

    Folks - My brain is at half mast lately. I am adding bits 0 to 7 together and I need to know if the result is odd or even - see below. b6 = bit0 + bit1 + bit2 + bit3 + bit4 + bit5 + bit6 + bit7 I need to know if result (b6) is odd or even. I have tried a few options but obviously not the...

    Serrxd problem.

    Folks - I have got myself into a loop. In a previous thread a question was asked regarding Serrxd and Hippy posted a reply which included the following comment: 'SERRXD #variable Will take a series of "0" to "9" bytes which are converted into a number which is stored in the variable when a...

    Converting Decimal value to Hex for serout

    Folks - I need help. I have a Dorji DRF5150 transmitter connected to a DS18b20 which transmits to a Dorji DRF4432S. The DRF4432S receiver then sends a 6 byte string of decimal values to a Picaxe 20x2 for processing. This all works very well. I have recently purchased a 4D systems uLCD-35DT...

    How to unbrick a TLG10UA03 Wifi module?

    Folks - I think I have bricked one of my two TLG10UA03 Wifi modules. Both worked originally. I can log on to the good one through both WIFI and the serial port using the programming utility. Using both these same methods won't let me in to the one I think I have bricked. This has only happened...

    RF TX Power control

    Folks - A while back there was a discussion on powering up a wireless module after a Picaxe had been in sleep mode - for longer battery life. The TX would then do its thing and then the whole unit would sleep for a while, wake up and start the process over again. I have searched for a number of...

    VSM and diode mixing

    Has anyone out there tried Hippy's diode mixing on VSM using 14M's. I have a Master 14M polling two Slave 14Ms on one comms line with an acknowledgment being returned via a separate comms line. All works fine with each Slave connected to the return bus individually but when I connect the Slave...

    Futurlec training board

    Folks - Futurlec sell a PIC training board which comes with a socketed PIC18F448. This chip appears to have the same pinout configuration as the Picaxe40X1 - PIC16F887. Is there any reason these can't be transposed - are the internals that different that it can't be done. Any help is...
