    Picaxe 40M2 and variables using Blockly

    Hi all, Yes it's me of the model railway level crossing again. All is going well, and the boom gates go up and down using servo motors and lights flash and bell rings etc, all coded and working with a switch. However, I now need to detect the trains. Using LDRs. 13 of them. And I need...

    Picaxe 6 editor and 20m picaxe

    Hi all, I found 5 M20 chips in my box of goodies today, On the chip it says PIC16F677. In the Picaxe 6 editor it identifies them as 20M. (Check PICAXE Type Connected) However try and program them, and it says chip not supported, and 20M is not on the PICAXE Type drop-down list. Is there...

    AXE171 board and 2 servos

    Hi all, I've tried and tried and tried to get this to work. But it's time to ask. Running the AXE171 project board with the SPE035 sound module. (Picaxe 14M2 processsor) I need to operate 2 servos concurrently to open/close railway gates either side of the track. The board provides for Pins...

    Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) and LED lighting

    Hi all, Trust someone here can help with a simple solution to my problem. I haven't needed any support or assistancve with Picaxe for more than 10 years. I use Picaxe processors to provide signal control on my model railway. Have done for years with no problems. A LDR (Light Dependant...

    Power Supply Voltage and Consumption

    Guys, have done some research, and searching other threads/archives etc, but can't really find a definitive answer. My system involves multiple PICAXE-20M (10+ of them), in which each processor powers 1 or 2 LEDs, and each processor communicates with each other via pulsein/out. The system...

    Need input pin low when not connected.

    Guys, Using a Picaxe-20M. I've discovered that if an input pin is not connected, then it will test high. i.e. pin3 = 1. I need it to = 0 when not connected. The reason? The pin will received PULSINs of varying length, however, the target of these pulses will be manually switched between...

    pulsin pulsout timing accuracy

    I'm new here, so please be gentle with me. No yelling, OK? :cool: Basically, a project to control the signals on my model railway layout. Each signal will be driven by a PICAXE-20M. Train detction at that signal doe by and LDR (Light Dependant Resistor) between the rails and using READADC to...
