I am currently in school with my A-Level teacher, we have my very amazing product all fit and now all we need to do is program. I will upload my product on a later date, we have a problem with the LCD screen as I will need to be displying adc values. Here is my code so far: ReadADC B.1, b1...

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone could help me, for my systems a level project I need to switch on a relay with a PICAXE. I have tried to connect a pin on chip to a resistor which goes in to a darlington pair transistor. Which 12v is connected to its collector, then the collector through the...

Hello all, It has been a long time since i have last posted a post on the forums. I have been incredibly busy recently and plus have been experimenting with the arduino platform. I have also been trying to research the raspberry pi but all i find is the same each time. So when I finnaly get the...

OK, I am not sure if this is suitable. I have an old laptop that I tore apart, I want to use the flat panel display as a monitor in a build that I am doing (Don't worry I shall be using picaxe as well ;)) Any way, I found one driver for these boards and it would in fact work, the only problem...

Hello people! OK, my tech teacher approached me after a little course work and said that he had the sweet detector kit and couldn't finish it. I took it home this evening and resolder d the part that was not on properly. I then got the code from the manuals and programmed it in... It looks like...

Well I am back, I haven't been allowed to do any projects due to a lot of course work needed to be done. Even though the coursework hasnt finished I am now able to program my VERY simple keypad. It Is all here and all I want to do is do an 'if' command. I will cut the code down relevent to...

Well I am still waiting for the transistors for my matrix but I have gone back to another project to make it better. My other project was a little project which was when you called a number it flicked a relay and turned on my computer and opened all the servers. I needed to use remote...

This is a very simple question and normally I try to give a really detailed question. This might be a little brief but hopefully every one understands. You might know that I am in the process of just having a little picture on an LED matrix. I received them this morning and it worked! But this...

Hello every one, hope every one is enjoying the Christmas build-up! Well as I am waiting to receive my LED matrix's I have decided to start using up all of my discrete IC that were the first type of chips i ever bought. Included in my collection was a couple of a 4017 decade counter. Very...

Hello everyone, little question I will be recieving some led matrix's soon. I have been looking a lot on how to multiplex them(maybe in the future i will get a driver). Any way it is an 8x8 led matrix so 16 pins are needed to multiplex them. I shall use maybe use a double multiplex to cut the io...

Well as the days go on, I always have a project going then get bored and want to carry on with my experiance. I remember a few months ago when I was posting really idiotic comments. Ahhaa that made me chuckle just then infact. I think the most complex circuit I have made is either the OLED...

I hate posting for help, I get paranoid that some people may find it annoying. Sorry if this true. OK I bought an IR sensor for my coursework that envoles opening a door etc. Today i was just going to do a little prep work, show it to an lcd screen and convert to numbers etc. I have looked at...

Hello there, I bought a bargraph LED yesterday from my beloved store Maplin :D I have been experimenting with them making really cool patterns and I thought I would then create a binary count up. My first attempt was just to do the first 5 numbers (1,2,4,8,16) This went fine doing a continueous...

Hello there, I have bought myself myself a new OLED screen ( I know they have no difference in signals compared to the traditional LCD) ANd it works great! Already I have done many text things to impress my friends and I even did a counter that every time you clicked the button the number on the...

Well I just got my new OLED display today and at first it looked ok! :) But then some think weird happened. Look at the youtube video :/ I forgot to menrion that if i just supply power to the screen it comes up with ' Dont use youtube to kmake comments please this isnt just my channel Thanks

Hello readers, i am a litt ashamed of my self for asking this but here it goes... For my project I am working on I needed to turn my computer to turn my servers on and other programs remotely. My idea was to connect an old phone I had, I would replace the speaker with the ground pin and input...

Hello there, I would like project and I have always wanted a binary watch. I thought to my self instead of buying one, why not make one! But I would prefer a clock! Could any one direct me to the right direction :S I had a little search and because clock and binary are used in all types of...

Hello, first off is how much I appreciat all the responsed I get. It keeps me motivated and interested. Not to mention the ammount of help people provide! Any way, another order came in to today of a lot more parts for my project. (LCD screen which displays the temperature and a little rolling...

Hello there! This is kind of my first project. Well I used to have a 08 proto board whitch i actually connect many wires to it so i could use it on a bread board. This went well but I am just showing off and giving people idea on a new way of going around this. Here is how I had to solder it...

Hello every oine thank you for taking your time to help me. Quite a while back I bought a Mini LCD message board, I wanted to get a little better understanding on how you would go around programming one of these http://www.maplin.co.uk/mini-lcd-message-board-37836. It was many of other kits I...
