Hello there,
I would like to use a picaxe to drive a simple input to a program running on a PC. I think that I understand the requirements/limitations but I have a couple of specific questions that I haven't been able to find answers to in the manual or in forum posts.
I cannot interface from my picaxe circuit to a Windows PC over USB, it needs to be serial but can I use an AXE027 cable?
Is it possible to use an AXE027 cable to provide power to the picaxe circuit?
I'm going to need to learn a new language to write the program that will receive the input from the picaxe circuit - any recommendations? C++? I'm learning Python for my Raspberry Pi would that be appropriate?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
