Why does endif get underlined with a red wavy line in PE6? I can change the color of it in the settings, which identifies it as a KeywordError. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is on the same line as the if statement separated with a colon or without, or on it's own line. If I remove it I...

Hi, Is there a tutorial on how to use this wizard? I am converting a broken IP PTZ camera to a USB type. The camera itself will be wired with a USB extension cable. I am using SRF/ERF connected to the programming pins for testing the pan, tilt & zoom. Then I will make a remote control with an...

Hi I am trying to interface a 20M2 with ModCom v8.14. I have nothing connected to the 20M2 except the download circuit. http://www.weedtech.com/software.html I have programmed the 20M2 with Anobium's sample code from his Youtube tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFR6rzWjU4U setfreq m8...

Hi I am going to buy a GPS module. Which is best / simplest? Both are similarly priced but looking at forum post dates the GPS010 looks to be newer. The GPS010 datasheet references AXE211 connect board but I can't find it on either the forum or picaxestore.com. Is this a future product or a...

Referring to the following question on thread http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?25280-READADC10-Bias I looked into what was necessary. I've got some 40x2s but haven't used any yet on a project. I couldn't find any info on the forum, the picaxe website or scanning through Microchip's...

Hi, I bought this display about 3 years ago but have only just got around to trying it. In serial mode I cannot get past the "waiting for CR" message. In i2c mode I cannot get past the "i2c mode ready" message. I have tried with serout Main: Pause 500 Serout C.0, N2400, ("CR") Pause 50 Serout...

I am planning a reflow toaster oven and bought some cheap thermocouples. After a days research I found that the proper way to use them is with a MAX6675 chip which seems to be obsolete or a MAX31855 which I can't find in UK. Other methods used AD595AQ which seem to be about 5 times the price of...

Hi I have a project using an AXE134Y 4x20 OLED. I want to fit it into a box with transparent lid that I already have several of. The OLED board is a perfect fit but the serial board extends beyond the edge of it too far. I am going to cut this board just behind where the download socket would...

We seem to be plagued with callers offering double glazing, cavity wall and PPI recovery services. We are registered with TPS but I assume most of these calls come from abroad now with VOIP. I have just registered with BTs free 'Privacy at Home' scheme which includes free 'Caller Display'. I...

Hi I am looking for some multiway jumper links. Working with the AXE405 board I have multiple tracks I want to join together. For inputs I can use SIL resistor arrays, but for outputs I want something that will carry a bit more current. I am sure I have seen things that resemble a comb in the...

Hi I have this code on a 40X2 that causes a hardware interrupt when one of 3 buttons (B.0, B.1 or B.2) is pressed. This sends a message to the AXE133Y to say that the program is interrupted, then when the button is released it carries on counting from where it left off. I see the setintflags...

Hi again I was experimenting with my 28x2 module (firmware B.2) and the scope looking at timings for different commands. This is the old module that was on special offer in December. I accidentally used setfreq 8 instead of setfreq m8. It seemed to go at 4 times the speed. The number was...

Hi there I bought a couple of these serial LED modules to try on my 18M2. http://www.byvac.com/bv3/index.php?route=product/product&path=35_53&product_id=53 I connected it up pin 5 to ground, pin 3 to +5v, pin 1 to C.2 but cannot get it to display numbers. I tried with and without inverse...

Hi I got some 4x4 keypads today. I found some code by Hippy but it is a bit too complicated for me to understand. The symbol definitions had ORs in them and some of the statements were ANDing masks and pins then XORing them with something else. Just too much for my head at this stage. I wrote...

Years ago I used to have a little tool for bending the legs on resistors. I think it came free with Everday Electronics magazine in the early 70s. Does anyone know if they are still made? I can't find anything similar at Rapid or Maplin but I wouldn't really know what to call it. I found a...

I've spent a couple of days messing about making touch sensors. The most successful and prettiest was 4 pieces of aluminium foil sellotaped to a piece of paper with a picture of 4 buttons on the other side. I couldn't solder to the foil so I sellotaped the wires on then laminated the whole lot...

Just read a post saying "Deteted - already answered" Thought you could delete your own post after you had put it up. Edit It appears not.

Hi My AXE091 has a 10k pull down resistor and a 22k line resistor on the 18, 28 & 40 pin sockets. On the 8, 14 & 20 pin socket it has a 22k pulldown resistor and a 10k line resistor. I thought maybe the components had been put in the wrong way round, but the photo in the manual shows them as...

Hi I bought an iButton lock kit but am building it on my AXE091 development board with an 18M rather than the 08M and pcb supplied. I've read a few threads on the subject and realise now that I will need to remove the pull down on the input. Does anyone know how to read the serial number? It...
