    picaxe stability at low temperatures

    Hi, I've completed a few projects where the circuit board is housed in a plastic box and needs to operate outdoors at close to 0 deg C ambient with medium to high humidity and have found that they behave erronously as the temperature drops. I had a read of the microchip datasheet and the max...

    picaxe serial interface with a software

    Hi, I need to interpret ascii data sent from a software via the programming cable and perform relevant tasks on a 28x2, but am having some trouble parsing the data. the software is an autoguiding software (guidemaster) for sending correction pulses to a telescope controller when a star drifts...

    Serial interface to a PC

    Hi, i'm trying to interface a picaxe (20M2/X2) to a software on a PC, where the software will send certain ascii strings and the picaxe would need to interpret them and either send a response back immediately or perform an action based on the string. the software is a telescope control...

    infrared stepper remote control - dual polling

    Hi, I've built a stepper motor controller using a 28X2 and was using a wired control pad with simple momentary switches. each would raise a pin high and the stepper would step at a different rate depending on the pin raised. I have a simple loop that scans the 5 pins for a switch press. I...

    Accurate motor control with optical encoder feedback

    Hi, I'm trying to build a precise dc motor speed controller with optical feedback and needed suggestions on which path I should take as there are several options available. have searched through this forum and found pwm was the most common method for speed, but its not truly variable in a...

    stepper control with acceleration and variable freq square wave output

    Hi, I needed help with writing code for a stepper control application that includes acceleration and deceleration, and the option of different square wave outputs to send to a seperate stepper driver depending on keypad selections. (I'm completely new to picaxe's) I need the picaxe to just...
