    axe027 and linux mint

    I created a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/99-axe027.rules and put the "SYSFS" and "RUN" lines in it using gedit and I think I saved it. I changed the USB1 to USB0 in the axepad options and when I tried to download a program I got a message asking me to "connect power". Checked my batteries and...

    help with input from a R/C rx servo output driving picaxe

    A whole new project that I am working on, utilising the advice from previous posts, but I am having an issue with it. I am feeding in pulses from a 2.4Ghz radio Control receiver into pin C.3 of the Picaxe (checked with a CRO). As the pulse width varies the sound doesn't change, all I am...

    posting onto the forum

    Why is it that every time I write a new thread and then try to post it I am told that I am not logged on and the post just disappears? Is there a time limit to how long you can be logged in? Edit; Except this time it worked but it took only a short time to write this.

    Hi, I want to run 2 picaxe 08M2's from the one PWM source. I have a remote control driving a motor in a model train which uses a picaxe to drive a relay to give me direction control. The picaxe monitors the PWM looking for a command which toggles the relay. I also have a diesel simulator...

    Using an ATX powers supply with picaxe

    In Manual 1 on page 26 it says that old computer powers supplies are not suitable for picaxe. Is this because of filtering or is it because of regulation issues? If filtering would a 4700uF or bigger capacitor the issue? This question has probably been asked a million times but I couldn't...
