Hi guys, Just installed VSM and when I go to place components I get a message 'No library found' I wanted it installed on a different Drive so I installed it on my E: drive. I changed the paths to the drive and folder. Now it can't find the libraries. Any idea where they are? I didn't make a...

Hi, I've been pulling my hair out with this one. I'm using the code from WestAust55. Well a chopped down version of it. This only gives a transition RGB then an input of RGB and displays it on the terminal in the PE. It seems only to work on the 18M2. I have tried the same code adjusting the...

Hi, It's been a long time since I posted something so I was looking at doing something with colour sensors and came across the Parallax ColorPAL sensor and wondered if it would work with the Picaxe chips. It turns out that WestAust55 did some work helping someone back in 2012. I found the useful...

I was hoping to put this project into a small key ring type enclosure but haven't got the time at the moment. Thought I would post it here though in case anyone wanted to use the code etc. Title: Pocket LEDs Description: I was trying to create a simple game that would be easy to do, but would...

Hi, I need a bit of help if possible on the subject of sensing when the spark plug fires on a motorbike from the ignition lead. (four stroke or two) I know that there used to be strobe lights that wrapped something around an ignition lead and flashed the light. I suppose my question is what is...

Hi, How does anyone do random numbers with Picaxe chips? I have this method which seems to work but has anyone got a straight forward way of writing a snippet of program to do this on a Picaxe. I'm looking for something to seed the random before I use it but not using outside the chip stuff...

Probably a stupid question but are the modules available in VSM. I had a look in the demo version but couldn't find them. Thank you.

Can someone tell me if it is feasible to run two relays from one picaxe output pin? I want to turn two relays ON when the picaxe output pin is made high and use a separate power from the picaxe 5V source but the same 12V source on the relays. Thank you:)

In this project I wanted to try to imitate some sort of Auto-pilot an Auto-attitude adjuster for a model glider without radio control. I am not sure I have the program correct yet. I was thinking that timing the checking of the switches somehow may be better. I'm not sure it is necessary though...

Hi, Can someone tell me if this circuit is ok to connect to a picaxe chip? I don't want to blow the chip but I would like to have the 12v switch to indicate power on to the picaxe chip. Or if there is a better way to do the same. cheers Kando

I was wondering how I could attach one of the outputs from a 12v alternator for a diesel engine to an ADC pin on a Picaxe chip so that I can create a rev counter. Anyone any ideas? :confused:

Hi, I wanted to have an alarm system to work on three separate areas it was actually two separate buildings and a garage. Each zone (building) would be covered by N/C Normally closed switches reed magnetic ones but equally they could be changed for whatever fits the zone. I wanted to have an...

Quick question I hope someone can answer fairly quickly. If I have start0 code.... start1 code... In Picaxe multi processing I believe, a line from start0 gets processed then a line from start1 gets processed etc. If in start0 an interrupt goes off how does it affect start1s code?

I wonder if you could help.. I have a 08m2 and that is connecting to the OLED LCD 2 line screen. I would like to know how to program the 08m2 to tell the 18m2 to display the stored eeprom messages in it's memory. these ones... EEPROM $00, (" Serial OLED ") ; store msg in the EEPROM memory...
