    A blog post for the lack of blog posts. And GPS.

    There hasn't been many posts in this section for a while so I thought I may do a small write up of my quick GPS tests :) About 2 years ago I purchased this (now retired) GPS reciever from Sparkfun, last week I finally purchased an aerial for it after I forgot to add one to my basket all those...

    OT: How many python devs here?

    Just wondering but how many on this forum feel they can program or get bye with the python programming language? I know the main language on the forum is (bar basic of course) VB but I'm guessing there are a few python devs on here...

    Have I found something new here?

    Just reading the manual for the PICAXE compilers and I stumbled across this: Did we already know this or have I uncovered something new? And more importantly: Technical, Expand :o Jamster

    Some light entertainment...

    A while ago there was a disscussion about stopping squirrels from climbing accross a roof and one of the suggestions that emerged was this video involving high pressure water and acrobatic cats. :confused: So this thread is just because I thought people might be interested in the sequel just...

    REV and returning during loops

    Just some quick questions that passed over me while coding today: How does one go about using the "REV" operator in the X2 parts, no matter what I try in the PE I cant get what I'm excpecting and searching "rev*" in the forum brings up allsorts :confused:. Is it bad practice in PICAXE basic to...

    OT: Dyson Digital Motors

    It might just be my lack of experience but it seems this great new breakthrough in motors is just a different style of impellor, and instead of having brushes it has a chip creating an alternating magnetic field for the magnet... :confused: I'm no expert but I'm sure they've both been...

    Entering the world of bitbanging...

    Hi everyone, The plan is to try to upgrade my non HID-compliant mouse so that it uses the PS/2 interface. I've spent a few hours looking at the protocol and have mocked up a first attempt at bitbanging the protocol. The code below should send a single byte to the computer and will hopefully...

    Blog link gone...

    Hey all, As the title suggests the link in the top bar seems to have disappeared (the one between "Forum" and "What's new?") If this link isn't coming back is there another way of getting to the blogs, short of typing in the link in the address bar? Guessing this is just another forum glitch...

    Just how random is PICAXE random?

    I decided to venture in to the randomness of the random command after seeing this sparkfun tutorial, the graph made me wonder about the PICAXE command and whether it's as uneven and 'spikey' as that. The PICAXE used was an 08M2 and the code as follows: main: random w0 sertxd (b0) pause 10...

    Wireless options

    Hello all! I've recently started work on designing a series of devices which I then thought would be neat if they could talk to each other and acheive a basic system of artificial intelligence. The main projects for this are: tiles with a 4x4 grid of buttons and RGB LEDs that can be stacked to...

    A simple Logic Analyser and (slow) oscilloscope

    I recently finished a simple logic analyser and oscillascope using an 08M2 and a PC, it's not much: it provides a scan rate of just above 100hz across 2 channels but thats all I really need. The PICAXE is just a simple program which reads the ADC value of two pins an sends it to the computer...

    Using the Tellymate shield with 28X2 baseboard

    Recently I bought the tellymate shield and was pleased to find how easy to use it was. Control with the PICAXE is a lot simpler than I thought it would be and the documentation is brilliant. The shield comes up alot on the forum when someone asks "Can I display graphics on a TV?" so I thought...

    Arrays in PICAXE

    Just a few functions to allow the PICAXE to use a makeshift 2 dimensional array. I could only find scraps of code so developed this for those who want it. The array is stored in the scratchpad and has variable length so be carefull when using it along side put/get/etc. SYMBOL x=b0 'x...

    Non HID-compliant mouse

    I completed this project a while back but didn't get round to posting it. These pieces of software are designed to 'force' the cursor to move and click as they receive serial commands from a PICAXE or other micro-controller. I have created the joystick controlled mouse and, despite being hard...

    20X2 Games with a 20x4 LCD and Keyboard: Brain game (Simon says)

    Yes this has been done before... This is my version of the popular Simon says (which i call Brain Game) unlike the example code suplied by Rev-Ed it uses an LCD which gives it a nicer output in my opinion. Comments Welcome, Jamster __________________________________________...
