I just ordered this one. I like that it has the LEDs.

Yeah, I have melabs programmer for programming the PIC chips. I just figured since the USB programming cable for the PICAXE uses serial communication to the PICAXE chip to program it that it might...

Thanks for the feedback Robert. I have one that is for programming picaxe chips. It is com 3 and Microcode Studio sees that it's there, but when I try to run the IDC, it says that it's unable to...

Well, I have been having problems with a program, so i bought Version 5 of MicroCode Studio to be able to use the ICD functionality, but looks like I have to have a serial port? Is there any way to...

Hello,
I'll have a motion sensor board that uses the 08M picaxe chip in the next week or so. The board is originally for controlling cameras, but can be used to control other things too. A dual...

Hello,
If I use the MCLR pin instead of GP2 for an interrupt to wake from sleep, is there a way to detect the interrupt just on that pin (like you can on GP2) rather than enabling interrupts on the...

I'm a rookie, but I think using subs will work like this. Subs have to be after the "end" statement.

main
if switch1 = 1 then GoSub servocenter
if switch1 = 0 then low led1
if switch2 = 1...

This is great news! Thank you for explaining it so well.

Thank you Melanie,
I looked at the data sheet and see what you are saying. The one thing I'm still not sure about is if the MCLR pin has to be high when the circuit is powered up? If so, then my...

As a newbie, I was under the impression that the MCLR had to be pulled high when the circuit is powered up, but after reading a little more, I'm not sure. My circuit will have a switch that is...

Hey LetTheSmokeOut,
I'm still pretty newbie to this stuff, but I had 2 issues that drove me nuts for a while that you never kbnow, could be one of your problems. One was that, for some reason, no...

I finally did...very good reading and explanation on the comparators. I am going to have to try Melanie's tutorial when I get a chance...very well written and explained! Thanks for those links...

With my wire and duct tape, and your BFH, we can do anything! HA

I understand your analogy about the car owners manual vs. an engine overhaul manual, and you are right....but, Look at the attched...

Ted's,
I think I understand this less than you, so don't put too much faith in mu help. I still don't understand what a comparator does?... The idea of checking for high or low is what I like best...

Yes, seen that one many times too. Ya know, I just remembered from back when you and some others helped me get going on storing the strings in EEPROM that "Flash Program Write" is disabled for the...

Hello,
I have read Melanie's infamous "Making Program Code Space your playground..." post and some others and am trying to do what El AMPo posted below. I still don't grasp what "program code...

Thanks mackrackit, I will take a look at that. I did get the problem solved though, so I am very happy!

Hey there you go. Keeping it simple. Makes sense since you don't need to sense a gradual change in the light. Good job!
Gary

Try the RCTIME code I posted. It should work since it sounds like the resistance values for your ldr are bascally the same a the CDS Cell I am using. I have no resistor though, just connected...

HAHA..."If it don't fit, get a bigger hammer!"

OK, Ted's, we'll try to get back on track....
Gary

SOLVED!
It's a long story, and I'm a little embarrassed to admit it. I had issues every once in a while with strange characters displaying on the LCD. I sent one of my boards to the LCD company a...

Still doing the same thing to me. I copied the exact code here and pasted it into an empty program. Tried with the old config settings, and the new one's suggested here. Very strange. Appreciate...

Here's a pic of the config settings....

skimask,
this is the entire code that reproduces the problem. I even deleted all of the defines...everything but this. Let me see what I need to do to show my configuration settings and I'll post...

So "Well, I'm from OK, so tape is an obvious choice." is an insider joke, tell me what it is about

Well, people in the Southern US states have a reputation of "repairing" (rigging) things with...
