Hi All, Battery went dead on my BX-24p on Parallax BOE board. When I put in new batteries, the red and green LEDs on the BX24p board are on without my ...

I think that i see your point Tony.So you mean that i can connect a photodiode to a basicX A2D but first i have to determine what a very strong light beam and...
Would a pin-hole camera style work? That would limit the direct exposure. Use a photodiode or photo resistor...but still keep your array Thad naimead...
Naimead, don't we know enough about the Sun and Earth to _calculate_ the Sun's apparent position with very good accuracy, fully open-loop? BasicX can do that,...
Right now it seems less complicated to try to trace the sun than to calculate its trajectory since i am not an astronomer too Tom. So what we need is a...
... Define your hardware and the task, Naimead. Do you mean Az/El? Is the scope on a polar mount? What motor control do you have? What scope? What is the...
It is a usual telescope in which i am planning to add two motors in its base(i need some help to decide the proper one).The first motor is going to move the...

Naimead, Tracking the sun can be done many ways. Be sure you pick a safe one. I have used the concept shown below with good success. If you have an Equatorial...
... It probably would work, possibly very well. I just used a tall + shaped cardboard divider between the photodiodes. The cardboard creates a little shadow...

Thank you guys...I will give a shot with a photodiode.Just a final question:do we need two photodiodes(one for x-axis and one for y-axis) or just one will...
I have a BX-24 running a pipe organ scanning routine and one of its modes is to output data in MIDI format which requires a baud rate of 31,250 and setting...

... Sloan! My laptop only has a conventional RS232 port and its associated driver will not allow my VB's WinAPI call to change the baud rate to 31,250 because...
Hello, I am using the Bx-24 for a datalogging application. I modified the data logging software I found from basicx's site, and I'm having problems sampling...
Hi, I needed to to use three serial device with the Basic X .. 1- quadravox speech chip QV306m1 2- Pololu motor controller 3- Serial servo controller. They all...
