    Can ADC input be used to adjust an output timing cycle

    Need some help… I am working on a project that will use an input from a potentiometer to adjust/change the timing cycle for an output. i.e., push a button (input) to activate timing, output (1 to 60) seconds duration depending on the feedback/ position from the potentiometer. Dave

    Adjusting code to slow down the speed of a servo movement

    I am working on my Halloween project with a 12 foot skeleton that I have modified with a 3 axis talking mechanism that was 3D printed and works great. The 3 axis and jaw controller that I am using was built and sold by Steve Koci who passed away 2 years ago and designed by Steve Blork. I have...

    Wireless remotes

    So I am using a pair of Emylo wireless 6 button remotes for triggering some of my Picaxe controlers for my Halloween props this year but soon discovered after buying 2 sets, the transmitters are paired together and the main IC in the each remote is a PT2246. The chip part number is the same on...

    JQ8900 audio board

    Good Day, I have worked with the DFPlayer for years on my Halloween project and now this board (JQ8900) was mentioned on a Halloween Forum and had to look into it but cant find any data sheets that show serial communication data in English. Has anyone worked with this board that can share this...

    AND

    Is there a way to have more than 2 inputs to control an output? If I add a 3rd, I get errors with the simulator.... Dave ;2 input AND gate main: if pinC.1 = 1 and pinC.2 = 1 then high c.4 else low c.4 endif goto main

    interface with 3x4 keypad

    Been away for a while...I am working on a project for my work to display safety videos on a TV by pressing buttons using a 3x4 keypad to communicate to a Picaxe. I know I can pull this off by using many push buttons and input pins but was hoping to interface via this keypad. The MP4 player is...

    Using restart/resume with multi task

    Question, I use this for triggering 10 watt LED strobes with a PIR for Halloween and noticed if I add another output "START5" the chip stops working. Is 4 the limit with this configuration? Dave #Picaxe 14m2 symbol PIR = pinc.3 symbol strobe1 = B.1 symbol strobe2 = B.2 symbol strobe3 = B.3...

    DFPlayer mini

    Since MDfly removed their more popular MP3 player that I have been using for years with my Halloween controllers, I was given direction to the Robotshop for the DFPlayer mini. I am using a basic code just to see if I can make it work but looks like I am not communicating via serial. The player...

    Serial out

    Working on a project for Halloween that has 3 MP3 players which will feed 3 talking props. Will any output port transmit a serial command to trigger the MP3 player? It seems to work ok with the simulator but just asking anyway. Dave

    Adjusting pulsin with trim pot

    I am working on a project for RC receiver to control outputs but wanted to know if a trim pot could be placed in the code so fine tuning of the pulsin signal could be performed after the chip has been programmed and installed. Here is my sample code...

    Some guidance with serial

    I have been using Mdlfy MP3 players for all of my Halloween projects with no major issues but now I am moving on to MP4 players that can be controlled via serial communications. They are talking serial voltage @ 3.3-5.0, damage to the player if not correct and so on. So I wanted to see if...
