With regard to my ongoing Men vs. Women Display-O-Meter project (see blogs #212701651 and #212900832 … and don't forget that I still need suggestions for a better name than “Display-O-Meter”)… For the ...

The goal of the project is to build a digital strobe light with millisecond accuracy that will require just a bit of programming to be created. The components used to build this strobe light include a ...

The readadc function is used to read the value from a potentiometer. A conversion is done to get a duty value for the pwmout function, controlling the LED brightness. Note that the readadc function ...

It might seem like we’re on a vehicle hacking kick this weekend, but [Rex] built an excellent custom digital tach for his race car. It uses the classic seven segment displays, a PICAXE microcontroller ...

LED flicker effect using a Picaxe microcontroller for a Jack O Lantern. This is originally meant for usage with a Picaxe 08M2 chip with a single PWM output pin (C.2), but any Picaxe chip should work.

You choose 1 on the day to construct, from the 10 models presented Design Brief- Participants will select, construct, test, program and take away their own Universal Remote Infrared Controlled, ...

[James] wanted to build a BEAM turbot. He ran into some problems with the BEAM circuitry though, and ended up with a BEAM/Picaxe hybrid. [James’] turbot uses a miller solar engine. The original design ...
