Hi Alan, Thanks for the feedback and sorry once again for the delayed response, my first real first day back to project work. I have been feeding direct supply voltage of 3.6-4.2v (depending on state of lipo) into c.3 pin on the 08m2. I guess i should have realised that was a no no. I have...

H, Thanks again i understand now what you mean with the ELSEIF command i found that i can get some erratic things going on especially with the timing. You're example worked fine with my project. Certainly has revived my interest in MCU's. One other question i have bud can i apply 4.2v direct to...

Thanks Alan you've revived my coding interest with your help very much appreciated, and at these hours. I Think its time to hit the sack thanks for the very quick turn around time with my query I've learnt quite a bit off you. Cheers Arif

Hi bud i managed to get the duration period to around 2 min(38) through experimenting, it seems i had the sim delay on which was giving me weird visuals. After switching off delay i was able to see the program function as you have shown, i tried the elseif command not sure if it had any...

Hi Alan thanks for the reply and the suggestion, however after trying the code and adding some pauses i couldn't get it to work, any ideas bud? wait 2 do if pinc.1 = 1 then time = 0 Low c.2 pause 10 endif if time > 10 then High c.2 pause 1000...

Hi there it maybe an easy thing for someone out there but for me i've been out of project work for many years now, and sadly i'm forgetting all i learnt. I hope you can help, i'm basically trying to switch on an output C.2 after the input C.1 hasn't registered a signal (high) after a one minute...

wow im gonna try that now thx bud.

new to posting , This is how far ive managed to get with the LCD with your help guys. I now have an LCD where i can display pot position 0-255, im trying to achieve an actual variable timing period from 0-30ms. Ive divided 255/30 giving 8.5 so i need to somehow work with this to enable me to...

Thats worked great, thanks for your help, it solved the issue, i will now experiment further. I need to learn the commands and prompts.

Hi again ive tried your test program, I had to add a pause 500 command, it works but has left part of the AXE133 firmware code after powering up. On boot up it says Serial LCD and on the second line it says www.picaxe.com. after your test upload it now says: "test CD" on the first line...

Hi im using the picaxe AXE133 LCD 16x2

Thanks mate experimenting now

HI all im dabbling with picaxe LCD 16 x 2 screen. can anyone help me to wrap my head round how to display/program things, mainly text on the screen, or point me to any relevant websites. Thanks in Advance.

Hi folks, i hope you can help me. Im trying to use the input serial pin c.5 on a 08m2, the problem I have is that I`m trying to use it with a sharp IS471F IR sensor. The issue is that the IR sensor is HIGH on power up and LOW on obstacle detect and the problem being that the picaxe pin needs...

Hello can someone please advice where im going wrong. Im driving 2 small motors via hbridge l293d which is connected to picaxe 14m2. All is great until i swop the l293d for sn754410ne, i understand its a pin for pin replacement, however when i power up i get no response to motors, checked...

Hello can any one tell me why im getting no outputs to motors when using sn754410ne, however all is fine when using l293d, have i missed something. My understanding was that the 754410 is a direct pin for pin replacement to l293d. Im driving 2 motors using dual hbridge. Can anyone enlighten me...

I think ive worked out what the problem is, if i use very small motors non geared then everything works fine, however if i use small toy 3v motor which is geared then problems arise. Could it be that im drawing too much current as hbridge does get quite warm we continuous usage, could i upgrade...

I have tried 3 new cells, the problem is only there if i use a battery pack on v2 above 6volts below that and the programme seems to run perfect the motors are rated at 4.5v, if i use 7.2 volts using 2x 18650 batteries then i get erratic motor and and programme response, motors run and stop as...

Hello this is my circuit diagram if it makes sense unfortunately i made a hard pcb circuit which eliminates prototyping, thought i had it in the bag.

Hello Can anyone help im new to PIC chips and this forum hoping i will find answer as referred here by Tech Support from Picaxe. Im having erratic behaviour with 14m2 when using v2, driving 2 motors via l293. When 3.7v battery used on v2 all is ok , however any higher voltages used ie 7.2v...
