Hi,
im new to picaxe. I downloaded the program editor software and the flow charting one.
I purchased the USB and serial cable with some 08 picaxes.
I also thought i would get my first board from rkeducation as they where cheap just incase i hated it....RKP08LP
My problem is the computer picks up the usb cable and installs the drivers, but when i use any of the software to connect to the picaxe, it says hardware not connected.
i have tried multiple ports, different cable, reduced down to 3AA batteries instead of 4AA, check the board over and over again for any solder jumpers... but nothing...
im at a complete lose at what to do next. any help would be amazing..
thanks james
