    Verification error

    When downloading a program it starts to load but then it says, "verification error transmitted but nothing received by bite 63" I checked the download cable and it loads to another picaxe no problem. I'm assuming that the downloader is not receiving a signal back from the chip.

    Reset button

    I do not have room for a reset button on this project so I'd like to leave it off but it looks like it's important that the resistor should be included. is that correct?

    RC PWM to drive a Cytron MD20A motor controller

    Good Morning, I'm attempting to drive a Cytron MD20A motor controller with the funny PWM coming from my RC receiver. Online searching says: "RC PWM is a pulse varying between 1 and 2ms, repeated approximately every 20ms (may be as short as 11ms or as long as 22ms) Standard RC pulses are just a...

    Editor locking up during simulation

    Good morning, Why would the Editor crash while testing code? #picaxe 28x2 #no_data #no_table symbol xb0 = b0 ' reserved for bit variables symbol bReverseForward=bit1 ' 0=reverse,=forward symbol bMotorState=bit0 ' 0=off,1=on symbol REVERSE_=0 symbol FORWARD_=1 Symbol desired_pot_value = b1...

    Using a number instead of a letter-number discripter.

    My 74 years of brain fade is showing more and more every day;) I recall that on the larger chips it was necessary to label the chip pins with a number in stead of a letter-number designation. For example: Symbol LED1 = 13 'B.5 Symbol LED2 = 11 'B.4 Where is this information listed in the...

    syntax error

    Good morning, My old workhorse code has suddenly started to show a syntax error at line 45. What in the world is a "rtxd"? Perhaps a copy and paste error? code: 'Shadow-Bot feedback control code with limits the best one!!! #picaxe 28x2 #no_data #no_table symbol DEADZONE = 4 ; Switch motor off...

    Easy way to install download jack

    I'm sure everybody knows this but me. Just realized it was a really cool way to set up a project board. Just installed a 4 pin female header! Gramps https://photos.app.goo.gl/BRQLzSrETjJvpMSx7

    Floating pins

    We are working on a project using a 28 X 2 micro, but presently only utilizing four of the pins. What is the rule concerning leaving the others floating? Does that lead to erratic behavior? If so what is the proper correction? Thanks, Gramps

    RC control add on.

    We are still in Florida and I'm itching to get back to my shop. The code below reads the value of the desired pot. I think it's basically watching for a voltage change from zero to 5 volts. Correct? A 1/10th scale ESC (electronic speed control) delivers a variable voltage output, zero to 6 volts...

    The mystery of "bit banging"

    The definition says it's using software to do a job normally executed with hardware. 🙄 What in the world does THAT mean? Would someone please illustrate a simple way to bit-bang an LED to do something. Perhaps show the code to flash an LED both ways? Thanks, Gramps

    Lost Code!

    Here's the scenario. We loaded code to a chip a year ago. It's working perfectly doing it's intended job flawlessly. Now we would like to write that piece of code on a new chip for a new project. Alas, the program seems to have disappeared from the Editor! Is it possible to recover the code from...
