    Multiple PICAXE system

    The five IR modules on the underside are for the line follower mode. The motors came in a robot car kit from banggood some 10 years ago. Bill

    Multiple PICAXE system

    This is a schematic of my multi function robot car. It uses 6 picaxe controllers for the various functions. 1. The 40x2 is the main controller of most of the sensors and motor control. 2. 14M2 to control the programable RGB LEDS. 3. 14m2 to control the voice (MP3 module). 4. 14m2 to input...

    3D printer

    The S1 is a good printer but the pro version is better as to can handle hot end temperatures up to 300c. I am using the same direct drive extruder as comes with the S1 Pro on my Ender 3 v2.

    3D printer

    The Ender 3 V2 is a better buy. With all Creality printers it is recommended to upgrade the control board, see the bigtreetech website. I would recommend the E3V3 control board and the TFT35E3 display as well. I agree with Jeff Haas that a Raspberry pi running octoprint is a greeat improvement...

    28X2 to drive a Rev-Ed 4x20 OLED to tell the time with a DS3231

    I also wrote a clock program some 10 years ago. It includes : 12 /24 time temperature date alarm Winchester chimes - on the quarter, half, three quarter and hourly. The chimes and alarm use a SPE035 MP3 module. Setting by IR remote Display is an AXE134Y oled 4 line program PDF File. (Program...

    Double slip switch (Model train)

    Hi Terry 'sample fade control of leds the values for the PWM can be determined by testing. The LED may not begin to glow until 'PWM output is higher ie 50 in this case w1 = 50 to 399. also max brightness may result before full output of 799 is reached ie 650. ' The rate of change in brightness...

    SK6812RGBW (Smart RGBW LEDs) and Picaxe 14M2

    All you require in mmbasic for the pi pico to address ws2812B leds is one line of code. BITBANG WS2812 type, pin, nbr, value%[() This command outputs the required signals to drive one or more WS2812 LED chips connected to 'pin'. Note that the pin must be set to a digital output before this...

    SK6812RGBW (Smart RGBW LEDs) and Picaxe 14M2

    The simplest way to communicate with ws2812 LEDs is with a raspberry pi pico running mmbasic. The pico are about AU$5.80 each.

    Are Rev-Ed & Picaxe missing out??

    the pic32MX have the mmbasic firmware loaded and I use MMEdit to download programs via a USB to serial converter. Also MMEdit will download programs directly to the pico modules via the USB port Bill

    Are Rev-Ed & Picaxe missing out??

    I use picaxe exclusively for motor control of my robot cars and Christmas displays. I also use a large amount of WS2812 LED strips and matrix displays. Picaxe are not suitable for the WS2812, I use a combination of PIC32MX170s and pico to drive the LEDs, MMbasic has a one line command for...

    Are Rev-Ed & Picaxe missing out??

    The Pico runs at 125mHz but can be overclocked to 250mHz within the mmbasic program. Bill

    Are Rev-Ed & Picaxe missing out??

    I am still using my 21year old compaq E500 laptop for picaxe programming running win 2000 with 30meg HD. I can only run picaxe 5.** programming software on this machine. Bill

    H-Bridge for 12V

    I use the LM298N for most of my robot and other motor applications . With 36v and 2Amp capacity and the the ability to use PWM control of the motors. Also an internal 5V supply is very handy. Bill

    Graphical display from serial port data

    This was a project I looked into back in 2012 I used PLX-DAQ serial to excel freeby to generate real time graphs. this application was for a radar scanner using a SFR005 ultrasonic unit. hope this may help picaxe 18m2 servo connected to b.0 (pin 6) SFR005 output connected to b.3 (pin 9)...
