I need some help with a design concept and think it might fit in here. I need to measure the length of some assorted tubes, not straight tubes but with lots of curves. Running a string through will not give an accurate representation as it will always take a short radius path. The tubes are...

Hello all, I tried to do a search for CAN BUSS and had no luck. Has anyone tried to get a Picaxe to play nice with CAN BUSS? Thanks, PFM

Hello all, I know the PIC is fast enough for video applications I am not so sure about the Picaxe. I am looking at the ability to check the focus of a video signal, it could also be used as an auto-focus signal. Basically a video focus meter is the idea. Any thoughts on the Picaxe speed to...

Hello again all, I did do a search I swear...... Has anyone looked at using this Atmel Flash Memory???? 4 MEGA BYTES of flash memory with an SPI interface. Forget piling up little 24LC256 parts just plug one of these in. I am not sure how to deal with the memory size at the moment but it looks...

Hello All, Well I have read several threads on the subject and get the idea you cannot read a battery supply voltage with the Picaxe because the supply is the ADC reference. Well I refuse to give up so easily. I hope I can explain my idea well enough to get help with the math, the part that is...

All, Has anyone here given the MAX7456 video overlay chip a go? I am thinking this could be fun with a Picaxe. PFM

OK, I read most of the posts on AtoD and it seems that if your project is battery powered you cannot use the AtoD in the Picaxe to monitor it's own power supply. As the battery looses voltage the reference moves with it, as has been described in other posts. I had hoped to have a battery test...

Hello all, I am having some battery level issues with my circuit and a DS1307 as power falls below 4.0 volts. Can anyone confirm the DS1337 will use the same code? I do realize it is not a pin for pin swap (would have been nice). Any other RTC suggestions welcome. Regards, PFM

Hello all, I did the search ad review before putting up this post and was close with a few hints from Hippy but still no luck. I am trying to update or reset the time, if it loses time, through a serin command. My code is not too pretty but needs help in building the HEX or BCD string to set...
