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...

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...

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...

Has anyone seen this from Altium ? http://www.circuitmaker.com/#why_circuitmaker The catch.... http://blog.circuitmaker.com/#Blogs/circuitmaker-community-09-30-14

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...

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...

I am getting the following error. Any clues? Thanks I am running ISIS for Picaxe VSM Version 6.01 / Build 7601.

Does anyone know if there is a RF Tx and Rx device in VSM that I can use to simulate sending serial? Thanks

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 '...

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...

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...

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...

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...

' ================================== MAXhelp.bas ================================= ' This program uses a PICAXE-08M2 to manually shift-out SPI data to ' a MAX7219 LED display driver. The 7219 is connected to a 4-digit, ' 7-segment LED display. The program displays the word "HELP" ' ===...

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...

Hoping this is just a doh! issue. I run the Simulator in the Picaxe programming editor and I can get C.0 and B.2 to go high but not the others! Cannot work out why. I am using a 14M2 Thanks ' PICAXE-14M2 ' Serinhandle.bas Symbol status = b20 main: serin C.5,N2400, status if...

An easy one I hope.... I am using a 40x2 and will be looking at four of the 8 ports (B.0 ~ B.7). I am looking at a combination of highs and lows and the only way I know how to do it is such (I will use Symbol values for pins)... if B.7=1 and B.6=1 and B.5=1 and B.4=0 (output of a BCD switch)...

Hi Folks, Having a go at this i2c! As per the diagram I am trying to get four segments to display different values. Is it something to do with applying a bit of lodgic to the multiplex outputs (11 & 14) ? Thanks ; Game clock count down routine ; Read the BCD value and start the countdown. ...

I am using an SAA1064 in my project. The VSM software says that pin 23 is SCL and 24 in SDA. As per the SAA1064 Data Sheet pin 24 is SCL and 23 is SDA. As I am yet to get it to work properly (newby @ i2c). Can anyone tell me if how to change the component lable of the SAA1064? It is not an issue...

Anyone had this problem (attached)?. I have 4 seven segments hooked up to a SAA1064, when I first run the program they appear of the display but when I click anywhere they go back! A little bug??
