Hopefully there's been a terrible mistake somewhere! I'm just gearing up for a little project involving over 10 DS18B20 temperature sensors, but I'm struggling to find any sources. I started on the flea market and the big-forest-place and the bad reviews/reports of fakes put me off, so I moved...

Hello all. I've found a relatively cheap RGB LED, which is labelled as either 'addressable' or 'intelligent' depending on which search results you follow. My preferred supplier has a datasheet which can be found here (PDF). Now, hopefully most of you will agree with me that this datasheet is...

I just bought the PCB scope because I was sick of guessing what fluctuating voltages were doing with my DMM! It's a nice little PCB, seems to work well and did everything I need. However, I have a couple of questions about the software. The software linked to on the Rev. Ed. description page...

I'm thinking about a new project, which without going into detail, will require reading the state of around 40 reed switches. Usually I head straight for the 74HC165 (8 bit parallel in, serial out shift register), but I've noticed on several suppliers sites that they don't stock it any more. I...

Hi, I have a couple of minor gripes about v6.0.7.4. See screen shot for the first one - I'm sure I reported this months ago, but maybe not - file names with ampersands in are being translated to underscore/shortcut keys in the tab headers. The second gripe is regarding the 'check for...

I ran across a weird issue last night, and re-coded to avoid it at the time. Now I've got more time on my hands, I managed to re-produce the issue using the code below. What I think is the problem is that the code fails to exit a loop-within-a-loop, when another loop is also present. It's...

Good morning. I'm looking for a bit of advice, or hopefully someone's experience, of using a PICAXE for nothing more than tying several serial data streams together. Background information; I have several small PICAXE systems, using various chips, which monitor temperatures, switches, etc...

I remember this being discussed a few months ago, but the search tools can't find anything given my probably inaccurate search terms... The question is fairly simple; has anyone used 'Quick Teck' in the UK for PCBs? They have an online quote form here and that says I can get a basic 40 x 40 mm...

I'm not quite sure what I changed to get this to happen; I did a massive amount of offline coding today, and didn't notice this until I got home and loaded up a chip. Basically, the stepping through code line-by-line is getting very confused about displaying which line is being executed. It...

I wouldn't normally moan about something as small as this, but since it's still a Beta, polish should be added :D If you create a file with an ampersand (&) in the name, it isn't displayed properly in the document tab (when in tabbed mode, obviously). The ampersand is replaced with an...

Took me longer than it should have done to figure this out... I opened a few v5 programs in v6 to test it out, and saved them with different file names. I then noticed that the names were all lower case. Tracked it down to using the Save As... functionality - it presents the default/current...
