E X P E R I M E N T A L Based on untested ideas or techniques and not yet established or finalized. ​ I'm starting a new thread on my PEBBLE re-write/refactor. It has been a great quest of mine to play with this software and try out new and different ideas. Most of my effort has been in updating my (1997) Javascript skills. Many changes have been adopted into Westaust55/Wilson original software. I've placed a live... Read more

I am using a 08M2 as a servo driver that will get command inputs from an 18M2 which has already 4 servos connected. The 18M2 is driving servos that move point blades on a model railway and the 08M2 will move semaphore signal blades Can I just connect the output pins of the 18M2 to the input pins of tha08M2 or do I need a resistor connected each leg somewhere? Attached is a drawing of what I plan to construct. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello, I created a program, tested on a PICAXE 20x2, to draw geometric shapes on an SSD1327 display. However, I have a small problem that I can't seem to solve. I can't read the contents of a segment. Each segment read is always equal to 2, regardless of the value entered. Here's how it works: A segment controls two pixels in the horizontal direction (corresponding variable = x).Each value controls two pixels: the first pixel has its maximum brightness, and the second is off.If you want to...

Bonjour a tous, J'ai crée un code pour afficher du teste sur 8 colonnes et de dessiner un pixel n' importe ou sur un afficheur SH1106. ce code a été testé sur un picaxe 20x2 et fonctionne très bien (Lib_SH1106_PICAXE_20X2). Cependant J'aimerais refaire la même chose pour un ssd1327 ci cela est possible (Lib_SSD1327_PICAXE_20X2). J'ai commencer a faire quel'que essais mais cela ne dessine que des ligne sur l' écran (hi2cout (00XA1, 0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0x40, 0x00, 0x00 ,0xff). Est ce que... Read more

I do some general electronics consultancy work for a company that sells electronics kits to schools in Australia. One of the kits they sell is a Robot Arm with Controller. They recently used the last of their old Picaxe-40 chips and purchased replacements that are now Picaxe-40X2. I did not design this kit and the person who did is no longer contactable. I have designed a number of Picaxe projects in the past, but they were for Picaxe 08M2 and 14M2. I was asked to program a number of... Read more

I am looking for the programing cable for my 14M2X. The cable need is the USB to Stero jack. I have done a web screach and found a lot of them but I am cunfused which cable I should get. Does any one has a link to purchase the corrct cable (hopefull USA vendore)? Thank you for sharing your widsome with me.

In the relatively unlikely event of anybody using BBEdit (the default Apple Mac code editor) to edit PICAXE code, I have a PICAXE language plist for it that provides similar code colouring to PE6, if anyone would like a copy.

Has anyone done anything lately with GSM modules and picaxe? I did a search but gsm is too short a search phrase and google only came up with a thread from 2013 so wondered if anyone had got any further or is it too big a project for picaxe? I'd quite like to make something for remote monitoring of battery volts and temperature but no idea where to start, it would be in a non wifi area so that option is out.
