My old system died,and my new one is running Vista. Now the software for the BX-24 isn't working - I've set it for XP compatibility, but it's telling me it...
Hi, Find the exe and right click on it and have it "run as admin". That should fix it. Otherwise reinstall it and have it create it's directory in your folder ...
I'm trying to receive six bytes from a Picaxe 8M...I'm having a little trouble figuring out what I need to do with openqueue & getqueue...could someone point...
I'm trying to read seven bytes from a Picaxe 08M...here's the code I have so far, which doesn't work. Also, it seems to keep restarting... Option Explicit ...
... Well, your input queue only has room for two bytes after overhead, but you wait for seven bytes to be queued before reading it. That overrun will do...
That WAS set to 30, must have been written over somehow...still it doesn't work, though. I keep getting a queue count of 21, though no data is being sent yet....
Hi, I have a suggestion. Setup your computer with Hyper terminal, Connect the Picaxe controller in the serial port/set the baud rate in the Hyper terminal and...
And a parallel question: Can we create 2 input/output ports like the one you are creating on your program? Did anyone already try? Suggestions? Thanx David...
Tom, What do you mean by: "your input queue only has room for two bytes after overhead"? What do you mean by overhead? Which overhead? David Sousa Mendes, ...
hello group there is some mistery (at least for me) on how much bytes you should reserve on the commands: dim com3_out (1 to 30) as byte and dim com3_in (1 to...
... Each queue needs nine bytes to store working variables, so a queue that can hold 20 bytes must be 29 bytes long; a single-byte queue must be 10 bytes long,...
I can troubleshoot myself, I'm just mystified here...I'll break it down so I can explain better... The Picaxe isn't even hooked up right now. I've tied the pin...
Try this, Chris. Set the monitor com rate to 19200 since you use Debug Print. The input pin is pulled high here and I see no serial activity as a result. If...
I've got the code working somewhat, enough for my purposes...when nothing is connected to the port, I get zero for a queuecount. However, when I connect the...
Ok so basically i have built a robotic arm and would like to control it from the computer. I have done the application for the computer and it works. I have...
Zack, It sounds like your robot arm is starving for current and the BX-24 is rebooting. You need a minumum of 2amps of available current to run each hobby...
Well yes, i use a RAMB II so it should be ok. But even if it were re-booting surly the servo's shouldnt move because of the variables start of value of 0....
If I recall a pulseoout 0 still makes a pulse. I can tell you that what you have described sounds like a current issue, or the servos are being told to go out...
Ill be trying 1 servo tomorrow, thanks. Yes, the batteries are normal rechargeable batteries. If 0.0 makes a pulse then that is probably the case. I'll try out...
My money is on Load Induced Processor Resets, too. Later, you might be able to condition a single supply to serve both processor and servo successfully but, at...
Hello, I have just 'discovered' this site and chip. I don't know why I've not come across it before as ive done a fair few searches for an easily programmable...
... it off the development board and plug it onto a breadboard for its final application ? Sure. It's usually just as easy to put a serial port connector (a...
Thanks Tom. Much appreciated your response with some code there as well. I bought a BasicStamp 2p for $89.00 AUS. As the XBasic chip is more powerfull and I...
