Hi All,
I am using the PICAXE-08M2 MCU in my new design.
My program:
Generate 3V output on the C.0 or pin7
Generate 38Khz PWM signal on C.2 or pin 4.
The code works fine and I get the desired output on the development kit but when I transfer the IC to the breadboard, it just acts funny. The output I see are;
C.0 or pin7- keeps jumping between 300mV to 1.7V
C.2 or pin 4 = 700mV instead or 3V
The development kit link is below.

There is nothing special about the power connections. I power up the chip as explain on page 27 of the PICAXE-08M2 datasheet.

It could be my naivety but I was thinking if program the IC and power it up on my breadboard as it explains on the datasheet, the chip should work as programmed, no?
To test the IC, I take the same IC back to Dev Kit and power up the Kit, works perfect so why not on the breadboard. Do I miss something?
Can someone give me some feedback?
