Hey all, Currently working on a new project - an electronic version of the board game Mastermind (the one with the different coloured pegs, the combination of which has to be guessed in the lowest number of tries possible.) Going well so far, and I'm coping well with controlling such a vast...

Hey all, Thought I'd post this up for anyone who wants to interface the MAX6956 with a PICAXE via I2C. It's nothing advanced, but will hopefully save someone some time as they're getting started with this chip. Link to the datasheet if interested...

Would it be above my level if I wanted to make a project which involved around 40 RGB LEDs, all of which need to be individually controlled? I've been having a read (http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9747), and it appears that 3 PICAXE output pins are required per LED. Is there some...

Just built a circuit on stripboard with a 28X2, but I'm having some problems. On first power up, pin B.1 appears to be high. There's an LED wired to this pin, which is lit. When I try to talk to the PICAXE with the programming editor, the LED goes off, then comes back on after the editor gives...

Hey all, Been a while since I actually posted here, but I still read most of the threads out of interest. :) Some may remember my attempts at a Guitar Hero playing robot a couple of months back, which was only a partial success. I've now decided that, after a bit of a break, its time to finish...

I've been doing my research into robots for the Xbox 360 game, Guitar Hero. I've interfaced with controllers before, so hopefully wouldn't have any problems there, as I'd build this mod in a standard Xbox 360 controller rather than inside the guitar controller. The only thing I'm not too sure...

Hey all, Not been keeping my eye on this forum as much due to exams etc. but I finish for Summer tomorrow so I've got all my stuff out again! The only problem is that I'm having many problems trying to download programmes onto my chips. Using a prototype board which I've always used (100% sure...

Are there any plans to make an equivalent of the AXE230 for some of the larger PICAXE chips? I think this is a very nifty product and would definitely buy it in a larger chip size. Charlie

Just found an 18 leg PICAXE in my box, how would I go about identifying it specifically? On the front it says "PIC16F819". Cheers

I have a green/red bi-colour common cathode LED. Normally I'd take the cathode leg to 0V through a resistor, and wire each of the anodes to its own input. I would then be able to control the colour of the LED by setting either of the anodes to high for the individual colours, or both together to...

Hey all, I've currently got a toggle in the middle of a USB cable which allows me to stop the flow of data through the green wire inside the cable. When the switch is closed, data flow is normal. When the switch is open, the data is interrupted. My circuit (if you can call it that, it's so...

Hey all, Just joined here yesterday. I've used PICAXE microcontrollers at college but I've never actually done a whole project with one from scratch. This seems to be the right place to come and ask for help if I ever get stuck! I've been doing my research, and basically what I'm trying to...
