Greetings everyone,
Recently i have been attempting to have a relay in my picaxe vsm simulation, which is triggered by a transistor on one of my micro-controllers out-pins, and it wouldn't work, even through it was clear that the transistor was turning on, but the relay would not trigger.
I thought it was doing something wrong, so i kept trying different things and questioning my memory of studying electronics. I tried searching google and this forum, but all of the help or questions were directed at physical picaxe circuits using a relay, or a single question of the same problem i had, but with no answer.
So i kept looking after giving up for the night, and sore a video showing a "Latching Relay Circuit.wmv" on youtube, and sore that this video was definitely using picaxe vsm. In this persons circuit simulation he is using a relay from the picaxe_parts library, so i tried it and it works exactly as i originally expected.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.... Is it standard for only picaxe_library parts to be simulated, or is there a problem?
I tried relays G2RL-24-CF-DC5 and JWD-171-25 and nothing happened. Not many young people have the determination to stick with something, so having problems with a simulation software designed for beginners & professionals, with no information or guidance its going to cause a lot of frustration and most will likely give up.
I hope this solution i found will be helpful to others, and i hope picaxe vsm continues to improves.
