Making wire length cutting machine, need coding help *COMPLETED* I'm making a machine that will quickly cut wire to length for me. I'm basically done with the mechanical stuff now I need to start figuring out the and control software. I'm using a 28X2. Feed speed is quite fast, 2-4 feet per...

I've been searching and I'm still having a hard time figuring this out. I'm using a multiplexed triple 7 segment display and I'm trying to settle it down some from alternating between 2 adjacent values by adding some hysterisis. How can I readacd like 5 times, and set my word value (w0) to the...

I'm trying to learn about 4511 multiplexing with picaxe for a 3 digit project I'm wanting to design/build. I understand how the 4511 works with one display, but I'm a little confused about how you make the picaxe give a different BCD value to each of the 3displays and syncronize this with the 3...

How can I say: if b12 = b7 +or- 1 then goto main ...in a valid way?

28X PWMOUT question So the 28X/X1/X2 chips have 2 PWM pins, can both of these be used at the same time at independent frequencies? (seperate internal timers from each other and the rest of the chip)

So I was programming a picaxe and somehow in the process something on my workbench arced to my serial cable and now my serial port on my laptop is dead. As I recall it arced to the tip of the headphone jack end of the cable (ground). Anyway instead of buying a new motherboard for $100 I want to...

Hey does anybody know if these will work with picaxe? http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=7815

Quick question. Will this serial LCD work with picaxe? 20M overclocked to 8mhz (setfreq m8) http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=812 I guess this is the part that I want to make sure about before I buy. "9600bps TTL serial (do not attach directly to RS232 port)"

I searched the forum but couldn't seem to find much on this. Using a picaxe, I'd like to control a DC motor's speed variably with a pot. No discreet 'steps', completely variable from 0 to 100% (ideally) Is this even possible?

On page 22 of manual 3 it shows 2 4026B's connected together. Can 3 displays be controlled by using 3 4026B's daisy chained together? My project shouldn't be too hard. I'm using three 7 segment led's to display milivolts seen at an analog input pin (readadc10). So for example when 8 milivolts...

I'm considering a project to read serial data at 8192 baud from my car, and display certain parameters on a serial LCD. The question is how to get the picaxe to read this baud rate.... Serial protocol is a 8192 baud asynchronous 1 start, 1 stop, no parity

Hi guys, I just discovered these picaxe controllers and I'm trying to figure out some coding for a project. My goal is to make an Outpin pulse high (only once) when power is lost at a pin, effectively creating an 'afterrun' timer. Am I on the right track thinking I need to use the FOR...NEXT...
