Thank you very much for your help, Don!! I have another quick question. I am running a xylotex stepper motor board with step and direction inputs. I'm...
... Steppers do have a maximum speed of motion; that may or may not be the problem here. It could be the execution speed of the BX-24 that is the limiting...
Don , I'm Trying to figure out how to turn a stepper with step and direction signals,with a max steps per second and have it ramp up and then back down,to get...

Don is there any code i could look at that you might have on the indexing head? Also off question here,i bought a 4 x 20 lcd and have it hooked to a 74hc595 sr...
Don, Thanks for the advice, it worked, somewhat. I'm getting a an output of 2-7millivolts, but when i measure it with a volt meter, its actually 250 mVolts....

I'm working on a program where I need to store a "setpoint" using the PutEEPROM command. I use this because I cannot loose the setpoint when the processor is...
Allyn Make the setpoint a persistent variable then it won't be lost on power off. You need to use the correct proceedure.,..read the docs page 19 of Language...
The website for the PAK-XI has code for the BS2. If you happen to have the BS2, make sure you have the setup working since you do not need to code. Once it is...

I am trying to connect a BX-24 to an off-the-shelf driveway motion detector that provides relay outputs (Zettler AZ943 relay) for this purpose. The detector...

That is very helpful. Thank you, Don. From what I gather from the relay manufacturer's website, the relay is N/O and energizes for a fixed period upon...

Why wouldn't you use GetADC ? For a first-time user, I would suggest using the on-board 10-bit ADC. If you find later that you need to sample more than 8...
