    That little clock that appears on screen when running a DS3232.

    This was originally part of another thread, that kind people helped me with. However as time went by the thread sank further and further into the past, so the extra question I asked on the same topic remains unanswered. The first bit is my thanks to the people who helped me with an earlier...

    That little clock that appears on screen when running a DS3232.

    I'm working with PICAXE VSM, being a beginner in picaxe. A while ago I bragged that I could rescue that lovely little time-keeper that appears with DS3232, (and DS1307). It had disappeared, and I messed about until I made it re-appear. Well, it's gone again. I must have pressed some signal for...

    viewing a DS3232's time to check when to set a subroutine working.

    I don't want to make a nuisance of myself in these forums ( fora ? ), but I find the manuals too difficult for a beginner to understand, and as well, I'm amazed at the information that's out there with the gurus willing to help people like me. I've learned how to show a file, and that's what...

    Set alarm on DS3232 at a given time with picaxe programmer

    I think the title says it. I'm very new to the game, and I've hunted high and low for a working example. There's quite a bit using Arduino, but nothing I understand for picaxe. I have succeeded in getting interrupts to work, but not in an energy saving way. I haven't learned enough to...

    Timer v pause and sleep in Picaxe.

    I am one of the noobies, and I am quick to say that I am ignorant in things Picaxe. As I've said in other threads I am working ONLY in PICAXE VSM at the moment, but I'm also digesting as much as I can about Breadboarding, and translating my PICAXE VSM to the real world, which I intend to do...

    Where has the dinky little clock gone?

    I'm an abject beginner in all its meanings, and I still use only PICAXE VSM. I'm in the process of learning how to operate a ds3232 clock. I'm not doing badly, but something terrible keeps happening. That lovely little clock on the xxx.DSN window that shows the set (or not set) time sometimes...

    Switching 230v 12 amps.

    Up until now I've experimented only with PICAXE VSM. Now however I'm going to take the next step, and get my hands dirty. I am beginning to breadboard. I want to switch 230v 12amps on for say 2 hours every 12hours. I see there's an opto-isolator arrangement (SSR-25DA 25A Solid State Relay --...

    Counting timing with blinking led.

    I am taking advice and am not going to give up on what I think could turn out to be an absorbing pastime. I'm still full of questions though. I've started back from scratch, and I ask advice because I could easily have made some beginner's booboo. I run the following with 28x2 and an LED. I am...

    AXE033 messages

    It will be obvious that I am a rank beginner. So as not to be found a blind idiot I have spent more than a week trying to find where I am wrong, but I can't. I have copied and varied what is on Page 10 of the AXE033.PDF, which shows how to place a string into one of the 7 addresses available...
