    Getting Data from Adafruit Ultimate GPS V3 onto 28x2 Picaxe

    There are some pertinent threads in the forum :- (3) Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout | PICAXE Forum and (3) Extracting GPS time with PICAXE | PICAXE Forum and especially (3) GPS Data receiver using X2's background serial data reception | PICAXE Forum I would start by connecting to the...

    PICAXE on ARM-based Win-11 supported?

    One slight issue is that drivers have to be native ARM binaries. Our old friend the AXE027, with its old FTDI innards may, or may not, be on the list to be ported :unsure:

    PICAXE on ARM-based Win-11 supported?

    I found this (Windows on Arm). Amongst other things it says: This implies that it 'should just work'. There will be an obvious performance overhead, which, I suppose, could affect things like simulation. (I assume that by 'x86', they really mean WIN32 applications (like Picaxe Editor)...)

    My Pot Position LED patterns not quite right ????

    So to get 20 discrete points, you're dividing by 13, rather than 16 ❓ (given that you can't divide by 12.8)

    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    I think the problem might well turn out to be a 'memory leak' of some description. It seems to use resources far in excess of what you would imagine it capable of :unsure: ...

    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    The "Terminal" will try to store all data that it receives. It continues to do this, regardless of the serious depletion of system resources that can ensue. The solution, is to use something like Putty, (which allows you to set the size of the screen buffer, to some finite size).

    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    Is this the same problem that I had? https://picaxeforum.co.uk/threads/6-0-9-2-resource-usage.29861/ (Logging to terminal eventually consumes all system resources...)

    LDR replacement TEPT 4400

    The max. operating temperature for the TEPT4400 is quoted as 85°C and the venerable ORP12 LDR as 75°C; I can't see any restriction on maximum light level. LDRs are commonly used in Oil Boilers to confirm that they're lit, so I've always thought of them as pretty robust. I think you need some...

    LDR replacement TEPT 4400

    Three similar hardware failures seems unusual...especially for a component like this. Is this an 'environmental' issue? Is the device exposed to the elements, or maybe looking through a 'window' that gets dirty? Given that that the TEPT4400 is a phototransistor, measuring its resistance may not...

    Best way to generate an accurate 1Hz signal?

    Rather than a Picaxe, you could use something like a DS3231, that can generate an accurate 1Hz clock signal? Datasheet HERE, ready-built module HERE. (That's the least of its capabilities ;) )

    DPScope 1 users - Info for installing & use on Windows 11 (fresh/clean installs)

    How do you mean ❓ The "It Just Works" compatibility statement for Visual Basic 6.0 applications is still in place for Windows 11. I downloaded the DPscope software into a Windows 11 Virtual Machine and it installed and ran. It did complain that I didn't have the requisite hardware connected...

    Can ADC input be used to adjust an output timing cycle

    That is a very odd thing to remember :LOL:

    Can ADC input be used to adjust an output timing cycle

    10K pot. across the power supply rails, with the wiper connected to an ADC pin. The voltage will therefore vary between 0V and the +ve Rail. By default, READADC10 will give a result between 0 and 1023, depending on this voltage. In this example for the 08M2, using C1. as the input pin, the...

    PICAXE-28X2/AXE401 Serial Coms withe DRA818 U/V

    In the Arduino world, all the examples seem to use this library. I can see that it too sends "AT+DMOCONNECT\r\n", but it seems to accept any response as meaning "success". (My C++ isn't the best :(). Perhaps there is some intrinsic bug with the device, that everyone just ignores?... There's a...

    I don't know how to do this, please help me work it out.

    We missed the obvious: toggle does not work with a variable - only a pin :oops: (It just leaves the variable unchanged) Armed_state = Armed_state xor 1 has the desired effect of toggling it between 0 and 1.

    I don't know how to do this, please help me work it out.

    Just noticed... The logic in this code looks incorrect. Armed_status: ;PinC.1 if Armed_state = 0 then gosub armed if Armed_state = 1 then gosub disarmed return If Armed_state is 0, then it will call armed which will toggle it (i.e. set it to 1). So it will then call disarmed, which will...
