@techElder, always! (I meant to say "suburban" instead of "rural" but I'm just now starting a frosty Pepsi.) :)

@techElder, may I infer you're a straight ticket voter from the rural portion of Tarrant County, or some place similar? :D joe

@techElder , :) I was apologizing to the entire country of Great Britain as a fellow from mid-west U.S.. I intentionally posted in the Sandbox as I honestly didn't think anyone would read my apology. I felt obligated to post anyway, just so my opinion would be on the record. :) joe

I'm sorry. Not all of us are that way, I promise. -joe (St. Louis, MO. USA)

Thank you Hippy, The PCB (28X2) has an open port which will be perfect for your recommendations. This project was handed to me by a fine fellow from Kansas who started the project, designed and had the PCB manufactured but didn’t put all that much consideration into what he really needed and...

@Pongo , yes, the pull-down resistor makes sense, thank you! I updated the artwork in post #4.

Hippy, did I interpret your drawing correctly? Thank you!! :) joe

Thank you Hippy! I didn't know SETINT was specific to one port, concurrent ports not allowed. I tried to submit your post in the SETINT "submit example" [ http://www.picaxe.com/BASIC-Commands/Interrupts-and-Multi-Tasking/setint/ ] page but it says I must login first and when I click on...

Hello folks, I'm using a 28X2 and wish to use the following pins (examples, across multiple ports) as interrupts in an OR configuration: (SETINT: 28X2: only inputs C.0 to C.7, B.0 to B.7 and A.0 to A.3 may be used). A.0 B.0 B.1 C.0 That is, either A.0 OR B.0 OR B.1 OR C.0 goes high should...

Thank you Hippy, We should add your post to the on-line info both under SETFREQ [ http://www.picaxe.com/BASIC-Commands/Advanced-PICAXE-Configuration/setfreq/ ] and the MULTITASKING [?] pages. I hope you locate the affected commands list, that would really answer many questions. Thank you...

InglewoodPete, PhilHornby, thank you for your comments. The statement "The change in background frequency may also affect background pwm pulse generation, so it is recommended that single task mode is used for programs containing pwmout commands" says it all. Sure wish I had the list of the...

No response from Hippy or Technical? :) joe

PhilHornby, I believe you are undoubtedly correct. I like to read though, a "hidden" Setfreq M16 just doesn't cut it! :)

Hello folks! Please help a good friend and me out here, where we can read the documentation on this "odd" event: Using a 20M2, connect an LED to b.7 and your frequency counter to c.2. Download and run this program first, check the PWM frequency with your meter and observe the flash rate of...

WOW!! The responses are excellent, I love this place!! I’ll look into each and every post and report back. Meanwhile: Yes, 100ms – 250ms I a VERY long time for a microcontroller, but it’s a reasonably short amount of time as far as the open collector device output to the PICAXE input for...

Howdy folks! I’m looking for a method of detecting/eliminating short duration inputs, something like contact bounce, four inputs simultaneously. When a PICAXE input changes state for less than, say, 100ms, 250ms or so, then the transition is considered invalid and is ignored. If the input...

Howdy folks! I haven’t been sleeping much lately, medical issues, but when I’m bothered by a question, I stay on it until my eyes bleed. (Ignore that statement if you’re a bit queasy.) :) Please, what is the correct answer: answer = 1*8 + 0*4 + 0*2 + 1*1 A.) answer = 65 (no!) B.) answer...

Howdy folks! What am I doing wrong here? Using a 14M2 and the DS3231 Clock PCB. At 12:29:10 BCDTOASCII returns 1<:29:10 while bVal14 = hours/16*10+hours//16 returns 12:29:10 correctly, as shown. The DS3231 is returning a BCD value, isn&#8217;t it? #PICAXE 14M2 #NO_DATA #TERMINAL 4800...

Just a guess, a very wild guess: (version 2, per HEMI345) :) joe

“My bad “ (urbandictionary.com) A way of admitting a mistake, and apologizing for that mistake, without actually apologizing. The best definition I ever read of this, now paraphrased: "I did something bad, and I recognize that I did something bad, but there is nothing that can be done...
