Here are my main obstacles: What is the circuit used for a programming interface for a PICAXE 40X2 that uses the audio jack? *accomplished What is the PIN connections that I make from the XBEE to the PICAXE 40X2? How do I create a program that computer controls the picaxe (Comma…

I will answer some of your questions. The programming circuit for PICAXE chips is found in manual 1. TX/RX + pwr and gnd should be all that is needed. There are any number of serial comm programs that can be adopted to do what you want to do. Keyboard keys all have ASCII equiva…

Thanks Okay I really appreciate the programming circuite :D. I decided to scrap XBEE for 433MHZ after being persauded by an LMRian. haha I think I am going to use this http://dx.com/p/arduino-apc220-wireless-rf-modules-w-antennas-usb-converter-143011?utm_source=GoogleShoppingUS&u…

Manual. Serial serin serout hserin hserout hsersetup

Got one! Pin connectioins APC220 (RX) connects to PICAXE (SERIN and hSERIN) APC220 (TX) connects to PICAXE (SEROUT and hSEROUT) Major question completed!

Thanks hmmm after researching the manual, would the SERIN command be replaced with the SERRXD command since I would have everything hooked up to the programming pin (Serial In)? Same for the serout as well? Perhaps using the programming pin would be a bad idea for R/C applicatio…

KBIN hmmm it seems that the KBIN Command only works to a keyboard that is directly connected to the picaxe. Is there any way to get the ACII code form the keyboard off of my computer (programming keyboard) that is not directly connected to my picaxe?

From shoutbox Ok, we need to simplify a bit here. The first place to start is with the Picaxe Terminal (NOT the debug window). This terminal (and really all terminals) let you send data to and from your computer. Anything sent from the picaxe shows up as text in the window, and …

Keyboard control Perhaps I can use a picaxe 08M2 to interpret a keyboard that is directly connected to the picaxe 08M2 using the KBIN command. The PICAXE 08M2 can then relay the information wirelesly using the SERTXD command to communicate which button was pressed on the keyboar…

I don’t think I follow What would be the goal or advantage to doing this KBIN thing? Also, why are you stuck on this KBIN thing? --It really will not help you with learning serial comms.

Commands

I believe I can use Kbin or the Keyin command to get values for the variable I will be sending to the picaxe
