Hi Foks. I'm using an SPE035 cheap Chinese equivalent module in conjunction with an 08M2 on a breadboard, with the pins/wiring adjusted appropriately from the 14M2 samples.
.
In the sample programs, the command MDEFAULT is used to restore the freq to 4mHz. Using PE5, the command gives me a syntax error.
The updated setfreq detail from the PICAXE site does not seem to mention any reason for this, where MDEFAULT is specifically referenced in para 2 of the description.
Upon switching to PE6, the command works perfectly, so I can only reason that MDEFAULT is specific to PE6 and its updated (over PE5) processing capabilities.
So I use setfreq M4 with PE5 and all is OK.
I would be interested to hear if my reasoning is correct, or whether there is a method to use MDEFAULT with PE5.
For what it's worth, I'm comfortable with PE5 and for the level of my programming, it's more than adequate. I find PE6 to be somewhat arcane and its advanced features, although no doubt suited to more skilled users, difficult to use, apart from the inordinately long loading time over PE5.
