The simulator is having trouble 'peek'ing values that were written using indirect pointer addressing. Consider the following code... pause 1000 first: ;basic poke/peek test poke 28,11 peek 28,b5 ;write some ram using bcdtoascii command and indirect addressing bptr = 32 b0 = 45 bcdtoascii...

I am so glad this is available in the new 18M2. I was quite used to the idea from past experience with assembly code, and it is SO powerful in the picaxe Being able to do things like symbol temp = b0 ;use general storage for time values symbol second = 32 symbol minute = 33 symbol hour = 34...

I am using a serrxd command with a timeout symbol fred = b5 main_loop: serrxd [1000, main_loop],fred When I run the simulator a dialog pops up asking for input, and I click on the 'simulate timeout' button. Instead of branching to the main_loop the simulator stops running. To make it...

This simple little serial menu program works correctly in the simulator, but when the 18M2 runs it, the select case always defaults to "Not Valid" main: sertxd("1. test1",cr,lf) sertxd("2. test2",cr,lf) sertxd("3. test3",cr,lf) sertxd(cr,lf,"Choose...",cr,lf) get_in: serrxd b1 select b1...

I have purchased my first picaxe. It's an 18M2 on a CHI030 board. I have got it talking to my computer, partially. I can see it's "Hello, I am your PICAXE-18M2" in the terminal in AXEpad, but can't seem to send any sensible data to it. Going back a step, I already had a USB to RS232 cable...

I see they can work down to 1.8 volts, but does this mean they have a max supply voltage of 3.3 like the other low voltage parts, or can they work from a 5 volt supply still?

Why does the CHI030 claim 800ma output rating when the Ti datasheet says 500ma for the ULN2803A chip (http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/uln2803a.pdf) ?

I need to turn lights on and off at certain times of day, and it doesn't need to be very accurate - within ten minutes or so is fine. So, I would rather not have to use a RTC chip for it. Can this be done in software, even using the 'elapsed time' variable I see mentioned in the new 18 pin...
