In gw basic, cls does exactly that. Picaxe basic doesn't seem to support cls, although cr and lf are supported. Is there a work around?

Hi Folks. I want to come to grips with recursion, but I am unable to find a clear explanation. The best I have been able to come up with, as applied to programming, is "a program that calls itself". So is the following code an example of recursion? B1=0 Begin: For b1=1 to 10...

Hi Guys... In attempting to come to grips with the BRANCH function (Pt 2, P42), I'm having problems with the example listed. 1. It appears to me that as b1 is initially set to 0 in 'reset1' and is incremented in 'main', then b.0 can never go high, as on the first pass, b1 will inc to 1...

Hi Folks.. Seem to recall there was an easy fix to open PE6 in full screen mode in a previous thread, but a search didn't reveal it. My problem is that no matter what I try, including shutting down from full screen, reloading the editor still comes up as a reduced size. Nor does there...

Hi AllyCat. You were kind enough to send (me) a dissertation on PE5/6 random number generation. My problem now is trying to print it - my equipt (XP) only seems to want to print page 1 of a 2 page doc - page 2 is blank. I can produce it all on one page only by reducing to 45%, which is...

Hi Folks. In tinkering with the RANDOM function, I have found that the results I've produced with the simulator seem to be at variance with the detail on p.177 of the Manual. I used the following listing : main: ;08M2, Editor 5.5.5, XP platform ( I'm more comfortable with PE5 than...

Hi Folks .... In experimenting with RANDOM, and following the detail on pt2 p177 of the manual, I've encountered a problem. In the first code snippet half way down the page, the use of 'timer' generates the error message " 'timer' is an unknown symbol". However, using 'time' as in...

Hi Folks. Some 15 years ago, Clive Seager presented a fairly comprehensive series of articles entitled 'Picaxe in Schools' as an intro to Picaxe programming, and designed to be used with a Picaxe dedicated PCB. This was my intro to the 08 and Picaxe programming per se. Included was a...

Hi Foks. I'm using an SPE035 cheap Chinese equivalent module in conjunction with an 08M2 on a breadboard, with the pins/wiring adjusted appropriately from the 14M2 samples. . In the sample programs, the command MDEFAULT is used to restore the freq to 4mHz. Using PE5, the command gives me a...

Hello Folks. I guess I'm slowly coming to grips with PE6, but it's not easy. I looked for an operating manual, but the best I could find was a link provided by Steve Baker, entitled 'PE6 Beta Testing Briefing' of Sep 2013. As you are of course aware, that's exactly what it is - a product...

Hi Guys. No one likes change. I am slowly coming to grips with PE6.1 after a long and happy relationship with the ever reliable PE5. My question relates to what appears to be a long loading time. I am using XP, and it takes just on 75 secs to fully load, and 15 secs to X-out back to...

Hi Fellers. My project is a Merry Mix assembled from Meccano. The object was to simulate a fair ground Merry Mix, such that each ride was accompanied by a different tune. The processor is an 08M2 with leg 4 connected to a LED, motor drive via a BD139 to Leg 6, and a speaker connected via...

Hi fellers. My first post for a long time. Making sure that I've logged in correctly. Ben Baker
