Hey all
I've never touched a PICAXE or anything similar before, but I've got a project I'd like to try that I think one would be perfect for.
I've poked around here for a bit and seen it mentioned that the PICAXE's timing is not "too accurate"... Can someone tell me how un-accurate it is? I'd like to make an intervalometer of sorts to turn on and trigger a digital camera every 12 or 24 hours. What kind of results could I expect running something like that? A few seconds fast or slow every 24 hours? A few minutes? Hours?
I'm assuming that any inaccuracy over the few seconds that the camera will need to turn on, warm up, take and save it's picture is next to nothing, but it's the long periods of waiting between shots I'm wondering about.
Any advice is appreciated... Complete newbie to this stuff, but I've been interested in it for a while and now that I have a project I could use it for I guess it's time to start learning.
Thanks!
