    Difference in speed: LinAXEPad vs Logicator PICAXE 6.0.7.5

    Hi. I've noticed something strange. My setup is as follows: Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit LinAXEpad RevEds USB - Serial converter This works kind of OK. But I have to runLinAXEpad as root, or I won't get access to the serial port. I tried almost everything. I'm OK with that. On this Ubuntu PC, I've...

    Oh no - not another GPS logger

    Hi, so I've made a GPS logger. Everything seems to work fine, but when I read the data back from the 24LC16b EEPROM, something strange is happening. It looks like the EEPROM address has moved one place too far. I've not seen any pattern. Sometime all data is read back perfect, and other times...

    serin with 08m2 and 14m2

    Hi. Is there any difference in 14m2's B.1 and 08m2's C.1 when working with serin? Shouldn't I be able to change IC and change from B.1 to C.1? When 14m2 is in breadboard, it works. Changing to 08m2 and C.1, it's not working. To me, that is very strange.... - nerdegutta

    How to calculate negative degrees Celcius from Fahrenheit?

    Hi. I got this: Temp = ADCval * 4 Temp = ADCval * 8 / 10 + Temp Temp = ADCval * 8 / 100 + Temp Temp_F = Temp / 10 To take an ADC reading from a LM34, and make it Fahrenheit. To convert it to Celsius I use this: Temp_C = Temp_F - 32 Temp_C = Temp_C * 56 / 100 But this only work above...
