Tried the new Picaxe X2!

Holy crap, the programming is different!

Prepare to use extra time, or use the X1.

There is a "converter" in the latest Axepads, but it is not 100% compatible with all my dirty code.

Boy, this is different! More than I thought :)

However, I am sure it is wicked, a real step up!

Can you show us some code
Can you show us some code differences?

It would be easier if you
It would be easier if you just downloaded the newest editor, and used the converter supplied to see the 2 versions :slight_smile:

X2 Chips
Have the x2 chips been released yet? I didn’t see anything on www.rev-ed.co.uk

New Site

God, they need a new site bad!

The X2 looks pretty cool, there seems to be a few decent upgrades.

Oh my God, I love my x2’s
So my (2) 40x2’s and a 28x2 showed up the other day… All I can say is don’t even consider buying the old parts anymore. I love each and every new feature.

New Feature

Chris-

What is your favorite new feature of the X2 that was either impossible or difficult on the old X1 parts? I saw a ton of pins now have ADC capabilities, I like that.

Specific feature questions:
- Does anyone know if interrupts have been modified to include ORing?
- Have mathematic operations changed at all, use of parenthesis? IE, can I do (x+5)*3
- Is there a new X2 program editor?

I know that there is not a

I know that there is not a new editor, but a new version. And I know that the new version has a converter-function from old to new - which should give a lot of insigt.

A good (and free & here & now)-option for anyone interested is simply to download the latest editor, and take an old program and convert it. All sorts of info becomes available to you :slight_smile:

Picaxe28X2 and Picaxe AXE 020 project board

Just received my 28X2’s and Axe020 project boards but have a quick question.

 

The boards have an oscillator built into the board for the earlier picaxe 28’s - do I need to detach aas from what I can read, the 28X2 has onboard oscillator running at 8Mhz, with the code suitably changed, while the onboard oscillator is 4Mhz

 

TIA

As far as I am concerned,

As far as I am concerned, they run on internal clock unles else specified in the code they run.

See command setfreq (rtfm :slight_smile:

they can run at 40MHz
they can run at 40MHz :O°°° I really want one!

Just remember that higher
Just remember that higher frequency means more power consumption ;-). I do agree that the new picaxes look attractive though!

sure, but seen my last speed
sure, but seen my last speed problems this could be the best solution. Forgot to mention three interrupts!

Thx

That is exactly what I was looking for !

Thanks :slight_smile:
