i got my digikey order today with lots of great things to play with, amongst them a little single cell li-ion/li-po charger ic. currently the only little single cell i have to eventually test it with handles a max 1c charge of 100mah, after looking through the datasheet i really cant seem to...

im using an 08m2 to control an H bridge chip for my scale winch controller and was curious if i could use the poke sfr to switch the output pin for the pwm signal, im sure a long while ago i read this question asked by someone else but cant find what im looking for. currently i have c.0 and c.1...

well after about 2 years of playing with the picaxe i finally took the plunge to playing with the pic's in their native form. in the last week since my pickit3 arrived i "retired" one of my 08M2 DIP chips and have been slowly working through various different tutorials i find to get more...

lately i have decided to get around to playing with some wireless modules i have had for a while, they are spi interface and as i only have M2 series picaxe to play with i have to use the bit banging method to try and get these working. the modules have been used before by goeytex and with...

is anyone else had issues recently trying to order from tech supplies? i ordered about a month ago with no problems and going to order again tonight it keeps throwing back an error for shipping adress state. ive double and triple checked my paypal info matches whats in my profile info for the...

as the title says im after some information for monitoring both cells in my 2s lipo. occasionally after i have been running my rc crawler i check my individual cell voltages with my dmm to see how the cells have discharged after running and a few times i have found that one cell has...

i just got my order from techsupplies today which included the budget lcd kit axe133. i have the board all soldered up, paying extra care to all pins and solder and everything was perfect with no issues. i have been playing around successfully with displaying text however then trying to turn...

i have to adapt one of my circuits for my brother to use in one of his rc models. i use the circuit thats going to be altered for him at 5v but now have to read an rx signal from an aux channel at a system voltage of 7.4v, i have already redesigned the circuit with a 5v regulator for the picaxe...

ok so seeing technicals post today about the current version of PE6 i updated and then opened to start using. to my supprise every single file i open comes up in what i presume is french,or at least something that looks partially similar. in language options for pe6 it is set to english and i...

my wife finally got a lovely new ipad mini for her birthday last week and so i now have our old one for my use. i have the forum app on my iphone and so decided to go to the app store to add it to my ipad, problem is that no matter what it does not come up at all when i search for it regardless...

i have finally decided to start playing around with some wireless modules i have had for a while to pass some time until my other project parts arrive but already am having a few issues getting the recieved data i expect. these are the modules i am using . so far i am only trying to get...

i just wanted to double check this is correct. in the manual for commands it states on the info for the "disconnect" command that it is applicable to all the M2 chips but looking at the pinouts in the first getting started manual they are shown as just the serial in/out download pins. just...

lately i have been playing around with my wii nunchuk again using the joystick axes to control an el cheapo stepper motor using the received value to control the pause between steps for control of its rotational speed from slow to fast or vice versa. the neutral value for the axis rests at...

so after finally venturing into mosfets and making my customized rc winch controller which came out much better than expected i have decide to make an alternative board as i can get the size even smaller and with fewer components and via's seeing as now i have a couple of friends who have...

ok so after a couple of years and basic circuits with the picaxe the time has come for me to brush aside transistors and look at playing with mosfets. so firstly the mosfet i was looking over is a dual channel n and p soic8 package, datasheet: now the project is to replace my old and finally...

one of my next projects involves using a real time clock and an spi wireless module. i will be running the project at 5v as from what i understand with the DS1307 is that it does not like less than 4v5 for the i2c comms to keep active. however my rf module has a max Vin of 3.6v but from a look...

so i recently decided to order a usb microscope for the benefit of scrutinizing some pcb's i will be making for my brother and ended up buying this little gem from none other than everyones favourite place.....yep you guessed it ebay. now i know there are far superior models out there that are...

well after just over one year i finally had to order the picaxe chips i wanted from tech supplies as the retailers closer to my geographic location just dont carry the full line :( its something ive had to put off as much as i didnt want to due to the currency exchange rate but finally decided...

just wanted to get some verification of the top tab for this voltage reg AMS1117 5v the datasheet says the top tab for the T0 252 is also v+ out so i just wanted to confirm with anyone who has knowledge of this or has used it that the same applies to the SOT 223 as this info is only printed...

another servo scaling post i know, but this one has baffled me. i am playing with a wii nunchuk controller and reading the i2c data. now so far all works great and i can see the values in the debug screen and i can use the joystick x and y axis to control the two servos through their full range...
