    Radar Speed display using the HB100 Module

    Hi, I know there is Arduino projects out there for this but I am more comfortable using the picaxe. Can someone direct me to commands I may need to use and how to decipher what is coming out of the HB100 module? I will have it driving a large two digit seven segment display. Is the picaxe fast...

    2 x Seven Segment count up/down

    Ok getting a bit further in the mud! I do not know how I can set up a loop to send the incremented counter to the 5411 BCD to the display. This needs to be from 0 to 99, although the games will not go that high it will be a good feature. Sorry Hippy if you showed me this, going by my code I...

    2 x Seven Segment count up/down

    Hi Folks, I have been away from the world of Picaxes for a while and wanting to build the following project, so my coding has slipped some what! The circuit is in PICAXE VSM so please do not worry about current limiting resistors and such at this stage, just a basic circuit to test the code...

    Joystick control

    Hi Folks, I brought an Arduino kit on eBay (Still learning that baby), It has a joystick with it. I would like to use it as a way to select inputs on a alphanumeric display. http://www.dx.com/p/repair-parts-replacement-analog-stick-module-for-ps2-controller-black-121340#.VNA25nm_n_s So I am...

    AXE027 substitute question

    Hi, Instead of an AXE027 I am using another name brand to connect USB to serial from my PC to download from the Programming Editor (Version 5.5.6), it is a UNITEK Y-108. After some good runs I get a lot of connection errors, from reloading the driver, swapping ports to rebooting the computer...

    20M2 pinB.1 condition

    Hi, For some reason the following code will fall out of the startsc loop. When I remove pinB.1 = 1 then all is good. I replace the 20M2 and still the same. I put a 20x2 in its place and all is good and the program will keep looping. I change pinB.1 to pinB.2 and all is good. There is no high on...

    two SerOut commands

    Thanks wetsust55 and hippy. What I am first trying to do is Tx and Rx 6 buttons from the control panel and then use the 14M2 to send highs out to act as switches to the 20M2 (same board) which drives the big two segment display, send all eight bits in b20 (from control panel) and receive them at...

    two SerOut commands

    Okay, I have a cicuit that I built that has a control panel and then wirelessly Transmitts which six buttons on that control panel is pushed, and keeps sending different button presses out each time they are pressed. At the Receive end (large seven segment display box) I am Receiving those...

    debug waiting.........

    I cannot see why I cannot get the debug (Picaxe Programming Editor) to work on the following code, it just hangs there waiting. I have even gone right back to the pin numbers. If I rem the SerOut command it runs. I have had this running OK but I have changed a fair bit since then. Thanks '...

    two SerOut commands

    Hi, I need to send two register values out my RF chip to a Rx. I can do it with one command but having trouble receiving the second. The question. Should I use this, b20=pinsA AND %0111111 'look at specific pins SerOut A.4, N2400,(b20) pause 50 b21=pinsB AND %11110000 SerOut...

    Rotary BCD (cherry) to Picaxe

    Don't know if anyone can get some use out of this? I have used a Cherry BCD rotary switch http://uk.farnell.com/cherry/pefa3000/switch-bcd-complement/dp/1180021 http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/pdf/pushwheel.pdf Just put your +5v (or what ever) to the C and the other 4 to the...

    Parrallel Tasking 20M2

    Sorry for the long code below..... I am trying to parallel task on a 20M2, the 20M2 gets highs/lows and serial from a 14M2. The 14M2 handles serial in signals and then passes high/lows to this one. When I Simulate it I get an error 'Symbol is already defined' at the line symbol outbyte = b3...

    20M2 to MAX7219 Drive 4 large Seven Segment

    Thanks for that code PaulRB, Will give it a go latter, I am fairly happy with what I have and as you have said speed is not an issue with what I am doing. westaust55, thanks as well I would like to do a fancy letter scroll at the end of the game that would scroll letters across the four...

    20M2 to MAX7219 Drive 4 large Seven Segment

    Sorry folks, The story.. I am driving two futurlec large seven segment displays http://www.futurlec.com.au/Lg_LED_7_Segment.jsp . This is working from the C.0, C.1 & C.2 output of the 20M2. This is a count down clock from 30 seconds. I also want to drive 4 seven segments with the same chip...

    20M2 to MAX7219 Drive 4 large Seven Segment

    Hi, I am trying to drive 4 seven segment displays (7") with a MAX7219 from a 20M2. I can get the first segment to show a 'H' but the others will not switch on. Via PICAXE VSM (great program) I can see that they are getting the data, just not being switched on. I am using the C.0 to drive...

    MAX6955 slave address?

    Ok I am having a go at driving some seven segment displays with a MAX6955. I amusing it because it uses the i2c bus and is common cathode, it ticks all the boxes I have! Now I have been able to run a SAA1064 chip successfully but it is a new learning curve with the max chip. Below is the adress...
