I've been breadboarding some circuits with Xbee's tied to Picaxe 20x2's to learn how to get them to work together. I'm running in one direction, Picaxe (or computer) --> Xbee --> Xbee --> Picaxe --> LCD. Thanks to many of the forum threads it's working fairly well. The next phase is trying to...

I'm at the brainstorming stage of a new project, contemplating how to drive my output. The output is an led matrix (array?) 16 x 10, 30mA per led, so probably driven thru 2803's. My problem is the persistence of the led's, and how often to update the display. Basically the program would be "do a...

I set up a quick and dirty breadboard to position some servos prior to starting a project. Simple setup, 28x1 project board, pot on adc for position and an lcd panel (using Hippy's LCD Interfacing program, thanks Hippy) to show the value of my servopos pulse. I kept getting a bad servo jerk...

Short on bits today I tried using flag5 on a 28x1. "Togglebit flag5" won't make it through the syntax editor (MacAXEpad, v1.0.3) while "Toggle flag5" doesn't do anything. I ended up using "let flag5 = flag5 +1" but it looks bad and am not sure what happens with the overflow, although it seems to...

With a long cold winter ahead it seems automating and providing sensors for my old baler would be a nice project. While the total project is lengthy the individual pieces are small and simple enough to wrap my inexperience around. There are several bits of information to sense as a start...

I bought a 28X1 starter pack to play with a few months back, and have been using the forums to learn it while studying the technical aspects of electronics. I’m still months away from being able to understand data sheets etc, but my dishwasher is broken NOW. So using a Picaxe to replace the...
