    If you want easy....

    This looks like the future to me, no software, no special cables, just dump the raw (Python) code to the chip via USB and you are away! http://micropython.org/ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micro-python-python-for-microcontrollers What are the chances of Picaxe going USB?

    Bin to Hex conversion

    I'm using a tiny 4D Systems OLED screen and I want a drawn box to change size in proportional to a variable. To draw a box you define it as ($box, $top left X, $top left Y, $bottom right X, $bottom right Y, $colour) all as HEX constants and then send it to the screen via SEROUT. So how do I...

    New AXE200 damaged?

    Not a great picture, but you can see the white stuff all over the place, the green on the bottom-left resistor and the via near the crystal. Although it looks like there is a gap, under a 10x hand lens it looks like the solder is bridging the bottom of the 223 and 310 resistors(?). Not had a...

    I2C 4x7-segment display

So far I've spent 4 hours with this 7-segment display and a 28x1 but it only shows its address (3). There is a data sheet for...
