How to program using picaxe

Refer to picaxe's manual. The diagram of the above view shows that the Serial in of the picaxe is connected to the bottom right pin of the audio jack above view remember. Picaxe manual page 7. So wire pin 2 of the hex inverter to the bottom right pin of the audio jack. Next we can see that Serial out from the picaxe is wired to the top middle pin of the audio jack.

So next wire the top middle pin of the audio jack to pin 3 of the hex inverter. Finally connect all grounds in the circuit. The ground from your battery, the ground from the FTDI cable and the ground from the audio jack which is the bottom left pin. Ok you are ready to program. Use a audio cable adapter to plug in a Picaxe board to your newly made adapter. Now plug in the FTDI cable and program. Make sure everything is powered on.

MartinM57 Moderator. I need to "come out" - my Arduino Uno arrives tomorrow I'll try to find some time to investigate But sssh I shouldn't say things like that So I: 1. Put the blank sketch into the Uno as shown on the video Code:. Last edited: Nov 24, MartinM57 said:. Put the blank sketch into the Uno as shown on the video. Yet to get my head round 'weeny stuff. Good clear thinking there Hippy AVR-based USB to serial converter on the Uno board so, as it appears to support the break command or else the guy in the video would not have succeeded ,.

Good point - I'm not thinking straight. I'll give it a go Doesn't seem to work - what comes out of the Uno board at the start of the F5-Program cycle isn't the same as what comes out of a AXE even accounting for the inversion. The inversion worked great 40uS delay on the signal inversions, but I'm sure that made no difference but the whole setup failed. So I currently believe it can't be done You were right! It works with my 2 transistor circuit! Thanks everyone! I just tried this today, 20 years after the post was created!

Usually one device's output goes to another's input and vice versa. It's a frame of reference issue, a bit like connecting power supply wires to a 9V battery connector, very easy to mix up if you know the battery terminals' polarity.

Must be either integer math or I used a byte variable instead of a word! AllyCat Senior Member. Even better, with a "nano" or a Raspberry Pi Pico , but I don't have any plans to do this myself.
