[Rookie]

You'll have to tell us MUCH more! In general the "600 lines" 18X will handle larger programs, but even the humble "80 line" 08M usually copes, IF code is written efficiently.

There's no way to add extra program memory to a PICAXE so you can download larger programs from the Programming Editor. The two options are, move up to a larger memory PICAXE or reduce / optimise the code you have.

Amazingly fast answers !
thanks for that!
and feel sad for that news
as i see mp3 to manage compactflash cards...
but all that is only for data, not for program memory... right?

Oh now i see
08 and 18 only 40lines of code available
18x 600 lines...

sorry... but i'm still rookie

the 28x-1 lets you store 1000-1200 lines of code (a LOT for a picaxe program)

Filling up an 18X with 600 lines of code is several days worth of coding. There is a huge amount this code can do. Are you short of program space or space for datalogging? If the latter, there are external I2C ram/eeproms that can be used. If it is program space, what is the program for?

Why I cannot see any info about x2Parts or even anything about 14M chips?
This site are NOT updated?

This is the Official site of Picaxe?

The information on the X2 parts and 14M is in Manual 1 and Manual 2 - Accessed through Help inside the Programming Editor.

That's one of the official PICAXE sites, but also take a look at their sales company www.tech-supplies.co.uk ( <A href='http://www.tech-supplies.co.uk' Target=_Blank>External Web Link</a> ).

Having just had a poke around the rev-ed website, I can see the problem a rookie could face: There are a lot of outdated documents and pages which will distract new users. Most of the old hands use just 3 documents:
Manual 1 (Intro); Manual 2 (Commands) and Manual 3 (Interfacing)
...and of course the forum.

The 14M, 28x1 and 40x1 are the newest offerings. At last report, the 28x2 and 40x2 were still under development.

Technical: lets have a cleanup of the website. There is a lot of outdated information needing deletion or updating.
