A friend came up with a real cool idea...a camera mount that uses PIR sensors to tell the camera where to look. We have a Picaxe 14M running a 360 degree servo, inside an enclosure, and the output shaft is ball bearing supported. He, my friend, used six PIR motion detectors on his, and his has...

Maybe I could write this another way, but I thought this should work??? I have a day/night security camera, and if you have ever seen the images from one, you might remember the colors are not right. The only way I know to correct that is to use a filter exchanger...a little deal that moves an...

From time to time someone will ask on here about operating a camera with a motion detector or other device. When a friend of mine announced he was going to design a simple camera controller, I just had to ask him if he would consider making it Picaxe friendly...and he did :) I am seriously...

low portc 3 symbol dummy = ???? I thought I was starting to get this...till I got myself a 14M. I been reading and searching for what to call leg 5,6, and 7 when I make them outputs:confused: Just get me started please:D

Sorry - no matches Someone suggested to use the chips "Soft pull-ups" instead of using a resistor to keep an input from floating. I had heard the term before somewhere, but I haven't found any reference to it on here. Is there a way to use this on a Picaxe???

I tried this in the simulator and it works with that, but will it work the same way in real life too??? I want to interrupt two different subroutines, and I think the interrupt has to be the same...only one interrupt sub allowed right? I want the code to return to the sub that was interrupted...

I couldn't think of the right title to call this...sorry..but I'll try to explain. I have a video camera connected to a RF video unit. I have a RF remote PIR that, when motion is seen, sends a signal to a receiver connected to a Picaxe 08M. This 08M turns on the camera and transmitter...

Last night I was working on my code. I was changing some things around, and trying different ideas I have on how to do things. I had my "main" saying main: do while pin3 = 1 loop goto recheck This passed the syntax check and ran in the editor too....although it may still be wrong I guess...

I got a Picaxe VCR controller working a while back, with help from you guys...thanks! What this does is, tell my VCR to record when I'm receiving a signal from one of my RF video cams. When I first built it, I had stereo sound channels, so I use one of them to send a tone to the receiver...

I have a little black and white video camera, and I want to add some IR LEDs to light up the night. I would like to have them adjust down when something is real close to the camera...usually it will just white out the picture. BCJKiwi was kind enough to explain how to auto-adjust the...

I'm wanting to do something according to how much light is seen by an LDR. I wrote this to check the light, and it seems to work fine whether or not I use the pauses. The LDR is on pin 1 and the power for it comes from pin 0 when I put it high. I want this low power, so after I check the...

I'm playing Picaxe again, and I'm trying to learn these "basic" rules. I'm working on a code for another little video cam project. I'm using a PIR detector and a little board camera connected to an AV transmitter. When motion is detected, I want the camera and transmitter to come on and start...

Hello again, I'm still around here everyday and I been learning a bunch from you guys, THANKS for the help! This time I'm working on an array of 14 IR LEDs. Yes, I'll certainly be using a Picaxe to control the array...on at night... not used during the daytime. It's going to be in another RF...

08M My cheap-o meter is toooo slow to know. Which one of these uses less power??? low 0 low 1 low 2 low 4 disablebod standby: do nap 4 if pin3 = 1 then goto whatever loop whatever: high 2 nap 7 low 2 goto standby ORRRRRRR low 0 low 1 low 2 low 4 disablebod setint...

Hello, I finally got a deal on a pan/tilt unit for my RF remote camera set-up. It said heavy duty, and yep, it is. The thing is about 14 inches tall and weighs 23 lbs! OK...so it might be a little over rated, but I have it now. It uses 24VAC for power, which comes from a 120VAC mains powered...

Hello, yes I can read, and yes I know you are not supposed to....but...I want to anyway :D This little outfit sure would come in handy for a bunch of trail cam nuts, and I want to run it with a Picaxe. !00 ma...yes...but for only 100 ms. Is there any chance I can run this without a motor...

Hi...me again. You know...the inquisitive one. I wonder if there is a chart...list..or whatever it might be called, of poke commands? I appreciate the help and everything, but I want to learn what I'm doing when I use a suggestion involving "poke".

I'm trying to flash an LED in sync with a digital camera flash. (working on an RF remote slave flash) I think I'm close because I can see the LED lit in the picture. But...if the sensor I'm using misses the pre-flash from the camera, it does not blink the LED that time, and next time it is...

If you have read any of my posts so far you know I'm all about lights, cameras and RF :) I have run out of pins on my on-going RF video project. I'm using the 08M chip. I have pin3 for input...good. I have to turn on an A/V transmitter...OK...one output pin. I need to send a tone to...

OK...I know you put a diode across a relay to keep it from breaking the Picaxe chip when it turns off. Now...I'm working on RF camera with video controller, and I need to share the audio channel on the RF transmitter. I intend to have the cameras audio and the tone, used to control my VCR...
