    Choice of Display module.

    I have written some code for and built a universal 8 port timer using a 20m2, an RTC module and 2 x 4 way relay boards. I have been adjusting the sequences viewing the output via the serial terminal. I would like to include a 2 line led display so users won't need to learn how to program it. My...

    Mouse without Borders

    I am not too sure where to post this but the Microsoft Utility called "Mouse without Borders" is so worth having a look at. It is a software KVM utility, written by Microsoft coders after hours. I have a machine with dual screens and another with one. Run this utility and the mouse just passes...

Nor can you close the terminal window because you must close the error msg window first which is...

    F1 Quick Syntax popup window behaviour.

    Hi all. If I remember correctly, in the past didn't the Quick Syntax popup window open with the current hi-lited command displayed, or was that another environment. It is a pain to have to scroll down to find the current command being queried. For some reason, mine always opens at the command...

    Addressing Pins

    Hi All, I apologise in advance to those accomplished users that have grasped the concept of addressing pins. I on the otherhand am more confused than ever. My conumdrum is that after studying the picaxem2.pdf document, the diagram of the 14M2 pin assignment shows that C.5 to C.0 addresses pins 2...

    PWM and 18X

    I have a problem getting a 'pwmout' command to work on an 18x Picaxe chip. e.g. "pwmout 3 , 99, 200" It only works when followed by, and for the length of a pause command. I understood it should work continuously in the background until a command such as "pwmout 3,off" is issued. I see...
