It's been a few years since MacOS Catalina came out, dropping support for apps that hadn't been updated in the last decade and change to support 64 bit Intel processors. When this happened, we were assured here by @Technical that, although AxePad is discontinued, it's replacement, Blockly, would...

All of a sudden I've been getting a weird bug in MacAxePad, where pressing the delete key adds delete characters instead of actually deleting anything, as well as moving the cursor around 2 spaces forward. This obviously makes axepad unusable for programming, and trying to run a syntax check...

Given that apparently AxePad is obsolete, and Blockly only supports one open file at a time, I'm trying to install the VSCode extension, but all the mac installation instructions are "to be completed" How can I install these extensions?

For the last couple versions, MacOS has started to warn users when opening apps that haven't been updated with 64 bit support, among them MacAxePad. AxePad is generally in desperate need of updates to match at least the essential features of PE6 (although the preprocessor I made helps supplement...

I decided to try to write a preprocessor for #include files for use with AXEpad on MacOS and Linux (presumably Windows too, if for some reason you're not using PE6), and found it was surprisingly easy to implement in python! This is an early revision right now, it doesn't currently support...

When you use @ptrinc in a select case statement I found that the pointer is incremented on each case rather than at the beginning of the select only. for example: select case @ptrinc case 10 case 20 case 30 case 40 endselect sertxd(#ptr) the sertxd transmits 4 instead of the expected 1. I...

looking at the PICAXE X2 product breifing it does not mention the Universal voltage X2 chips, (I am positive it always used to), perhaps the update has been accidentally reverted? ~Patrick

Hi, I am trying to use the project submit here: http://www.picaxe.com/Project-Gallery/Submit but the submit button is not working. it correctly tells my when a field is unfilled, but when all fields are filled it just sits there, no matter how many times I click submit, nothing happens. does...

looking at the image for the AXE091U I see the disk includes "PICAXE VSM Simulator", does this include a VSM lisence with it? ~Patrick

With my PICAXE computer, whenever I press the numlock key the picaxe does not receive any other keys until I plug the keyboard into a normal computer (observing that the numlock light is on) and press numlock to toggle it off, and reconnect the keyboard to the PICAXE. Is this a bug? Is there any...

a few problems with mac axe pad problem 1: Macaxepad seems to have a problem with #rem,#endrem, one works but adding any more and it doesn't detect the endrem, it will stop being green after the endrem, but it will stay comented. eg: main: goto aftercomment #rem this rem will not stop #endrem...

first problem: the serial OLED I got from techsupplies (the limited time green version) makes a very high piched noise (the type you can barely hear that drives you crazy). Is this a common problem? what would a good solution be? where could I get a replacement now that techsupplies no longer...

As mentioned previously I am working on a PICAXE laptop,it occasionaly spontaniously freezes at various point in the program (program requests 2 keys from picaxe 28X2 i2c slave keyboard monitor (similar to setup with diy laptop here), saves to alfat (via i2c) and displays info from alfat (always...

Does anyone know of a good (PICAXE compatible) PS/2 keyboard with this size or smaller: 14 x 5 x1/2 inch? It is for a PICAXE laptop I am making (I now have two picaxes and ps/2 working :) ).

slightly off PICAXE topic but for a PICAXE project, does anyone know of a plain file (not plain text) editor? I am making a PICAXE laptop (as mentioned in previous posts) and am thinking of using an alfat sd card reader, and want to make programs (on the PICAXE laptop), store then in an sd...

Hi I made a wireless weather station (forum post here http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?20646-weather-sensor-problem ) and until now I was using debug but I am now trying the axe213 rf boards ( http://www.picaxe.com/docs/AXE213.pdf )and found the transmitter is not working (or at least...

Hi, I am making a temperature sensor transmitter using axe213 transmitter and ds18b20 temperature sensor (my first project of my own design) and when I turn it on the picaxe faild to program(hardware not detected) then I noticed that the picaxe (and battery) was getting frighteningly hot (did...
