Should work, haven't tested it yet... I'll be using it with a 14M2, at least initially.Built with what I had on hand. 7805, 100nF Chiclet caps, resistors, and perf from Radio Shack. 'Sink for the 7805 from eBay. Headphone jack from places unknown. The 20pin DIP socket started out as a 28p socket...

Hello, folks. I'm back with another silly project... this one I'll actually finish if I can get the code right. I have put together a little beep-tune player (using the "tune" command) that /almost/ works.You get a text description of the circuit because the schematic I drew isn't quite...

Hello, all. It's been a while :p As usual, I have a very odd idea that isn't really in the PICAXE's typical line of work, and I'd like to see if I can hammer the round peg into its square hole... I'm, er, emulating a four bit CPU with a 20X2. It has a four bit data bus, an eight bit address...

Hello, all! It's been a while. mrburnette has sent me some PICAXE stuff. Quite a bit, actually (thanks, dude! you're awesome!) -- and I've done my first little project with it. But that's a story for another day. He and I have been communicating by email about a project concept of mine, that...

...and I've come up with a couple ideas. The requirements are simple -- I want to use the PICAXE 08M that I already have, from my starter kit. I don't *have* to use the included "Proto Board" PCB, (I prefer Perf anyways!) but I'd like to keep costs to a minimum. Here's what I've thought of so...

"Shirt Billboard" is the fancy new name for "Electronic Nametag", or so I hear. Like this. They're all cumbersome to program, since they rely on a couple buttons to enter the message by incrementing/decrementing through a series of characters, and a (far too short, usually about 5s) delay in...

I simply can't imagine that I'm the first to think of this. Circuit uses the 08M/2 but could really work with ANY PICAXE chip as I understand it, maybe even non-PICAXEs like an Arduino (not sure) -- it's a nifty trick indeed. It's kinda odd that I haven't seen this mentioned here yet, because of...

This one I might actually BUILD this year... I saw this post on HackADay, and (as is often the case with such posts) I thought, "That is waaaaaaaay overcomplicating things!" Could I do something similar (artificial sunrise machine) with a Picaxe 08M (not M2), an RTC (maybe this one?), and a...

For a Picaxe-free project I'm working on, I need to control two motors, so that one is rotating opposite the other. I found a schematic on the Talking Electronics webpage (here, "Design 1" about 1/4 way down) that should work with some adaptation. I'd like to use IRF510/IRF9510 transistors (or...

Should have the schematic up in a little while... no promises, but I'm hoping... EDIT: here it is!

I have an analog multimeter. I think it's the 17-range one on that page (Cat#22-109). I really don't see the sensitivity going down to thousandths of a volt on that! (Oh, and its resistor readouts are all over the map, so I don't trust that one bit.) EDIT: almost forgot. Here's the schematic.

Hello all! This is my second or third one of these. Hey, at least I don't post terribly often! I came across an article about this on HackADay: http://www.hive76.org/the-no-video-game Recently I thought... hey, I wonder if I could make one of these? ...and my spare Picaxe 08M starter kit came...

Hello! I want to know if a PICAXE is the right microcontroller for my project. I rather suspect I need something with a little more horsepower, but TBH I'm not sure. (Please do be kind, I'm new to this stuff.) Let me give you what I've got so far, and you tell me if I'm barking up the wrong...

Hello, all! I'm new here, so please be gentle. I had an idea, the other day, for something like this: http://www.linusakesson.net/scene/bitbanger/index.php I want to use a PICAXE 08M2. The idea is to run it at 25.175MHz using the input-only lead C.3, and have it output random 8bit strings from...
