    Why do PICAXE need interpreters?

    Hi guys! I've read many times that the Picaxe is no more than a PIC with an on-board interpreter that makes BASIC language work on a PIC. But why do they need an intrepreter? Wouldn't it be easier to get BASIC language and compile it to machine code and then put it on the PIC (as far as i know...

    Laser Tag & circuit ideas

    Hi guys. I did some research before posting but there was no thread that seemed to talk about setting up a circuit for a laser tag project. And i didn't post it in the Projects section because i still have to understand what exactly i want to build. So i am here to show you some of my ideas...

    Difference between 5V and 3V versions

    Hi guys. I wanted to order one of the new cool X2 chips. I noticed they come in two different versions, the low voltage one (3V) and the standard 5V version. I also noticed that with the appropriate resonator, the 3V version can reach up to 64MHz while the same 5v chip can only get up to 40MHz...

    SPI question

    Hi guys! I recently bought an ISD4002 (IC used for recording and playing audio) and it works with SPI. Now, I have a picaxe 28x1 and was trying to interface it with the ISD chip. In the ISD's manual it says: It is necessary therefore to shift in HEX address 20, <0010 0000>.... The input byte...

    SERIN gone mad?

    Hi guys. I was just trying a simple serial comunication between my 28x1 and my 28a picaxe chips. I directly connected an output pin of the 28a to the input of the 28x1 (as some site suggested)and i have tried to transmit at N600 and N2400. this is the code for the 28x1 (SERINner) debug let...

    IR transmission with X series

    Hi guys! i want to make my picaxe send out an IR signal that can be received by another picaxe somewhere else. At first i was pretty convinced on using the M series to do this, as they have got "infraout" and that makes everything simpler. But my problem with those is that i'll then find it hard...
