Hi, I am having trouble putting together the code for programming the 14M2 and the DS3231 to set and use alarm interrupts. I've been searching all over for examples to use; perhaps I'm overlooking a source of information but presently I'm just stuck. I need to have the 14M2 sleep until it...

I am making a long-term time-lapse camera controller, using as little power as possible--it needs to work on battery power for months. I have the 14M2 sleeping until a real-time clock (DS3231) sends an alarm output to one of the 14M2's input pins. The 14M2 wakes up and using one of its pins...

Hi, I needed another output pin and so in my project am switching from using an 08M2 to a 14M2. I was driving a latching relay. The 08M2 output pins worked switching the relay but with the 14M2 I hear just a faint click from the relay. I've spent a while getting to this point. Here is the replay...

Hi, I have programmed 10 Picaxe 08M2Xs with PE6, all with the same program. When I went back to solve a problem I noticed that part of the program was highlighted in red, with a flag symbol to the left. In looking this up, I think that called a "breakpoint". I don't know what that is; my main...

Hi, I am trying to use a Picaxe 08M2 Protoboard with a DS3231 AT24C32 RTC module like this one: https://www.amazon.com/DS3231-AT24C32-Memory-Arduino-Replace/dp/B01L28A70Q/ref=sr_1_16?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1492633395&sr=1-16&keywords=ds3231 The Picaxe wakes up once a day to check the time...

Hi, with electronics I am obviously a complete novice at best. How do I use a Picaxe to trigger a camera shutter via the remote shutter port? As I understand it the Picaxe outputs are pins that can be switched between high and low voltage. This isn't what's needed at the cable--what's needed, I...

I wonder whether anyone with Picaxe programming experience would be willing to take a look at what I've put together for a power supply switch program, to see whether I'm being as efficient with the Picaxe power as I can be? I've put together a Picaxe 08M2, a DS1307 clock, and a latching relay...

Hi, I am hoping to get some help reading data from a DS1307 real-time-clock and using the data in a PICAXE program. I know how to set the clock. But how do I read the year data and use it? I'd like to say in the program, "if year > 2016 then". But how do I compare my decimal "2016" with what...

Hi folks, I have a project which uses the 08M2. I am reading the manual but am finding that I don't have some of the background for that, so I thought I'd try asking here to see whether I could speed up the project a bit. I am trying to time-delay the start of a system that takes time-lapse...
