I love all the education you get at the other site. Are there any teaching books like those parallax people available to picaxe people ? but dam their products,chips ect are not cheap
and im guessing you can always get btwo cheap picaxe chips wired to communicate serially to share the load ?Hi,
Maybe you want to start with:

I'm just converting from Parallax to PICAXE now ... I need cheaper chips in all my robots.
AND! I maybe even start selling off a bunch of Parallax books and HomeWork and other BS2 boards as I get things converted over.
ITMT, I'm learning how to convert all my sensor code from BS2 to PICAXE ... only a couple more to go ...

Oh gawd, I remember Nuts&Volts, used to pick them up at a Barnes&Noble about a half hour from me. Like a decade ago! I'm quite honestly surprised that they're still around... around here that's a dying genre at best -- along with the type of folks (tinkerers/hackers/makers/etc) who would normally pick it up and use it well. It's incredibly sad to me how few people here will, upon encountering a broken item, try to fix it rather than leave it on the curb...Nuts 'n Volts Magazine has had quite a number of Picaxe articles recently.
N&V used to be a freebie in the silicon valley surplus stores and the original Fry's, but those days are long gone.Oh gawd, I remember Nuts&Volts, used to pick them up at a Barnes&Noble about a half hour from me.

Welcome to the forum.I am ready to give Picaxe a try. (where do i start? )
I must be mellowing with age, I didn't want to come out swinging on my first post, But since i will have two posts under my belt now..Tommy: Welcome! How many posts until you mention casters and rudders on bots?
