    Interesting Wireless Picaxe Control

    Just getting back in to the world of Picaxe and saw this interesting article that talks about building networkable wireless devices with an 18M2. http://openmicros.org/index.php/articles/85-llap-lightweight-local-automation-protocol/155-llap-18m2-really-basic-turn-on-an-led-and-reply-to-hello...

    Interesting PICAXE/XRF projects

    Hi all, After a brief hiatus from PICAXEs I am back in to things and was getting myself up to date. I found some interesting developments on a website called 'OpenMicros' that has articles incorporating the use of PICAXEs...

    First breadboard PIC project problems

    I have been trying to build my single digit 7 segment DS18B20 temperature circuit on a stand alone bread board and have experienced a very strange problem... Components: PICAXE: 18F14K22 - 20X2 DS18B20 - temperature sensor (with 4.7K resistor on the data pin) Kingsbright SC08 11EWA 7 segment...

    Digital Thermometer Code

    Hi all, Input: AXE-091 on board DS18B20 temperature sensor PICAXE 20X2: PIC18F14K22 Using the breadboard to output via 1K2 resistors to the on board 7 segment display. I set myself the project of using the parts I have to hand (listed above) to display a two digit number temperature reading...

    AXE-091 7 Segment Display

    Hi all, I was going to try and drive the AXE091 on-board 7 segment display and was not sure if I could do so directly from outputs from a PICAXE 20x2 as the AXE-091 instruction booklet states the 7 segment display does not have any resistors. The project is to try and display the temperature...

    READTEMP question

    I started to write my first code today! I got some LEDs to flash and now I was hoping to get a readout of the DS18B20 temperature I wrote the following but it is always returning a Zero value on the software serial output buffer main: readtemp 1,b1 sertxd("temperature is ",#b1,cr,lf) pause...

    AXE-091 First Question

    Got my AXE-091 powered up with batteries and connected to the PC for programming a 08M. The first question I have is that I am trying to make one of the on-board LEDs flash with main: high 2 pause 1000 low 2 pause 1000 goto main But nothing seems to be happening on the board. I suspect it...

    Bag of Resistors

    Placed my order for the AXE091U today! Should be with me tomorrow. Thanks all for the advice in helping me organise the bits I needed. As per BeanieBots suggestion "You'll also need some resistors for playing with extra components. Suggest either a resistor starter pack or at least 10-off of...

    First Order...

    Hi, I am going to place my first order tomorrow for the following: AXE091U PUB127 (Programming & Customizing the PICAXE Microcontroller) As I am not familiar with the entire range of products I thought I should ask if there is anything else that is worth ordering at the same time? I do not...

    Starting with PICAXE

    Hi all, I am new to the PICAXE forums and I am not sure where to start! My previous experience with PICs and PIC programming has been painful to say the least as I started with another system and found it almost impossible to make any progress because it went very quickly from nice gentle easy...
