I am converting some simple ode from 08m2 written years ago to 18m2 chip. My 1st if statement fails on 18m2 but works on 08m2. What gives, I will try to attach code. Some other problems exists but I need to get by this if statement error. #picaxe 18M2 ;define chip type ; symbol...

I have been away to long so my brain seems to have lost much. I have a program working for my 8M2 but now I want to use the 20X2. Problem is I get a syntax error if inblck=c.6 so whats wrong ? . #picaxe 20x2 ;define chip type ; symbol redled=2 ;pin 5 on chip Output pins for led lights...

When I use sertxt in this program, the first two ascii charcters are messed up. But if I create a simple program to test the sertxt at the same baud rate it works ok. I have tried many variations, but the first two characters are messed up. This is what comes out on the terminal display: I have...

I am fiddling with a project that is going to require fast execution beyond what my current PicAxe chips are capable. I wish Revolution provided a true compiler/assembler. It could be configured to only work with PicAxe chips by assuring the chips be preprogramed by revolution (as they are now...

I seem to have lost my mind. I can't figure out how to write a complete 8 bit byte to port b.0 thru b.7 on a 20x2. Spent some time going thru code reference manual and can't find it. I can read a byte from EEPROM, so how do I output that byte directly to a port (for speed) The below code has...

In another thread I have been posting jpg & bmp pictures most of the time without a problem. Now it won't let me post even pictures that I posted earlier without problem. Things I tried: Turned off firewall turned of all security programs tried advanced posting . It looks like it uploads (blue...

I searched the forums for any thing related to CRT and found nothing. I was wondering if anybody has applied the picaxe to low voltage (les than 1000v) CRT control for a clock, or just drawing things with vector graphics. I already ordered a kit to do this using a 2BP1 crt, but it would be fun...

I have a PicAxe problem. I start a project get it designed, sometimes even layout and order a pc board, get it debugged and working. But then I don't finish cleaning it up (like nice enclosure). I guess I like the challenge of the code and hardware, but not finishing before I am off to a new...

I need a suggestion on how to sync my pendulum clock to a precision (RTC) 1 sec pulse. The clocks are home built wooden gear clocks and the pendulum is given a kick from a coil burid in the base. The pendulum has a magnet in it and as it passes the base, a tiny reed switch senses the bottom...

. Is thia an 18M2 or 18X ? I pretty sure it is a picaxe chip, but which one ? Click on image to enlarge. Thanks Paul

I am using an 08M2 to delay fan shutdown on a motorcycle (and two channels of thermistor data logging) and after a delay of when the ignition turns off I will shut the fans off. After the fans shut off I will use "sleep" to reduce the power drain. My question is, what is the power drain of an...

My grandson has built this firewater fountain controlled by an 08m2. Still working on many details and cleanup, but the 08m2 controls the LPG gas bubbling up thru the water, controls timing for correct ignition, and duty cycle. This will be an outdoor only display. The neat thing is he is really...

I see several code writers using macros in their code. While I understand and will use macros myself, I can't find any descriptions of the use of macros in any of the manuals. Where in the manuals 1,2,3 are they referenced ? Paul

Is there a way to get this sertxd to display the 8 bit binary string. I tried the % but it just returns an syntax error. I want b9 and b8 to show as binary, not hex or decimal, for debugging purposes only. Or am I stuck with decimal or hex ? . ;Note b8 is lsb, b9 is msb of ctvalue sertxd...

I don't really need to know, but a new file is created with each new .bas program. It is obviously used for editor setup, but is this explained anywhere, the details ? Yeah, I'm one those guys who wants to know a little about anything, at lest enough to be dangerous. any description of this file...

I just switched to ver 6 editor tonight and it's great. BUT, I can't get the terminal window to show up. The registers show up on the right of the screen and I can see the values change when I change the input counter, but no terminal. So what did I do wrong. Tried #terminal 4800 also, which...

My old Vista computer died (PS failure) so I was forced into windows 10 with the new computer. I can't get my AXE027 driver down load to work. Here is what I tried several times, both preinstaler and the other installer. Windows 10 installed driver axe027 running picaxe editor 5.xx shows no...

I need a few clues on this. It is a motorcycle tach taping into the control signal to the ignition circuit. I will do the necessary signal conditioning to make the pulse PixAxe input freindly. I just need some starting info on how to measure the duty cycle of the pulse. Pulse is 1 ms wide Duty...

I am using an AXE027 download cable. My project is using a 40X2 chip And the AXE091 Development board. Sometimes the program loads, sometimes it gives me a comm port error. Yet on PE 5.5.1 program loads always work, with the same program, same port (port4 in my system). Running on a VISTA...

Reading the description in the tec manuals it seems to indicate the conversion is done by slope (256 bit times to convert) but I am not sure if it could be successive approximation method (8 bit times to convert). At any rate I cannot find any definitive answer on conversion time for the 8 ADC...
