guys i want to sample lets say an digital output from a certain system every 1.5second. Now i know programming a Picaxe to do that will be alot easyer than doing it with a 8051 microcontroller. but the thing is i have no experience in programming a picaxe but i can program a microcontroller fairley well.

any hints on how to program a picaxe and which picaxe model i should buy?

 

Ok kwl, ive heard the picaxe have built in a/d ,what if i wana sample 3 analoge inputs at the same time

 

will it be difficult to program the picaxe to do that?

 

Use Logicator for PICAXE or PICAXE programming editor to program easily in function blocks.

 

Picaxe BASIC is dead easy. You can be up and running for around £2The Picaxe forum is here: http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=2Post your question there and you'll get all the help you need.

It shouldn't. Pop over over to F&S and we'll see if we can solve the problems. Thanks.
