Finally managed to print out and read Manuals 1 and 2. The PICAXE is a remarkable family of chips, currently I am working with the 18X on a control system solution. Overall the quality is excellent, and the interesting posts and suggestions here are often very useful, keep it up.
1. Manual 2, page 20. Math functions. Seem to be missing < and >.
Pretty important from my view. Knew they were there, as have seen in the code. An explanation of using the = sign with them would be nice..
2. The I2C appears to be the most efficient way to do extended I/O. Can add chips without using more pins on the chip. What is the best expander chips for dig in and dig out uses? Availability and cost.
3. SPI seems complex, glad I started with I2C, got a quad DAC running ok.
4. What is up with servopos? Does it work with all servos? Does running that background timer system reduce program reliability? I have not used it yet, but understand you cannot also run pwm with it, or maybe serial at the same time. Fortunately my requirements are simpler right now. Thanks for any suggestions.
