Is there any Picaxe board like this ATTiny85 board - that can plug directly into a USB port with no cable: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/302264793146 Looks like a good idea. It would obviously need the USB to Serial components, which may defeat the purpose I guess.

Not sure if this has been posted before. This is how to do the initial setup of one of those cheap bluetooth modules from a Picaxe (18M2+) using AT commands. It is necessary if you want to change the defaults, which is often highly desirable. eg. the Picaxe struggles to handle any significant...

The manual says the following under DISABLETIME and ENABLETIME Effect of increased clock speed: The time function will work correctly at 4MHz or 16 MHz. At 2MHz or 8MHz the interval will be 2s At 16MHz the interval will be 0.5s It first says it works correctly at 16MHz then says the interval...

Would it be possible to get the Debug output changed to also display the bptr variable please? Also could the manual be amended to describe it in a bit more detail, including that it is a word variable on specified (all?) parts and what happens when one attempts to use it to write beyond the...

PS. How do I get the sample program above to be scrollable in a separate window like I see in other posts please? Here is the screenshot mentioned above.

Why does this program produce no output in the debug window? In fact I can never seem to get the first debug statement in a program to work. (Picaxe 18m2+) b0 = 1 debug

I am using Serin and # successfully in several programs (written 6 years ago). Just trying to use them again and cannot seem to get it to work. I am sending a file from a PC with Tera Term (via USB TTL link) then reading with SERIN on the Picaxe. The file starts like this and is in ASCII...

I am in the process of converting a circuit from using a 433.92MHz radio receiver to using Bluetooth. I bought one of those cheap modules (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270962306229) I have managed to get it working and receiving data from a PC that is running Tera...

Yes, I do have a 104 on the 7805 output. As luck would have it I just happen to have included a "spare gnd" hole on the input just beside the 1000uF cap, so I just have to drill one hole and I can add the 104 decoupling cap to the 7805 input. The 104 on the Pic V+ is not directly across the...

I have a Picaxe circuit with an EM406a GPS attached to it. I have had about 50 of the circuits using Picaxe 18x's running perfectly for the past 3 years. They power up the GPS once an hour, take a reading, update a DS1307, then power the GPS down again. I have to build some more of them but...

Thanks for the assistance. Some day, somewhere, some child in NSW is going to owe his or her life to the humble little Picaxe with its 28 bytes of RAM variables. :-) http://www.schoolzonelights.com.au

Is there any manual that gives a comprehensive description of the memory in the 18M2+ please? I want to know how much of each there is, what overlaps what, plus the life expectancy (write cycles) of each type. Manual 1 page 52 describes the different types of memory, but it says for example...

In this posting in 2009 I asked about a simpler method of building a Pixaxe project with keypad/screen (to transmit data to a remote Picaxe): http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?11775-Calculator-suitable-to-hack-for-LCD-and-keypad&highlight=pmolsen Just re-visiting the application again...

Is there any way to use the EEPROM statement to store word data rather than having to manually convert each byte to hex and back etc? Like the WORD option in Read and Write?

Is there any way of making the Debug window show the variable numbers (b0, b1, b2...) like it used to, instead of variable names. I am on V5.5.5. The previous version showed the numbers. In my current program I use all variables numerous times under various different names. The debug window...

Have there been any postings about a brand of calculator that is suitable to hack to insert a Picaxe inside and make use of the keypad and screen. I built a project some time ago using a standard keypad and the AXE033 LCD display but it is too big. I want to shrink it down and I thought there...

I have 9 Datalogger boards that I modified a couple of years ago to read data at 4800bps from an EM-406A GPS module (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=465). I just get the time and date. After some initial problems I got them to work and they have been working...

If I short unused inputs to ground on an 18x chip, will the circuit draw more current than if I tie them to ground with say a 10k resister?

#rem works in upper or lower case like most statements. #ENDREM does not work in upper case. Is it a bug?

Trying to complie a big new program (maybe too big) I get: Compile Error Memory location already used B! 2248 17984 I found one previous post that referred to too many SETINT statements. I have 2 only.
