Q:
The circuit diagram shows the PIC receiving the same power as the motor driver, rather than from the D1 split filtered by C5. Is that correct?
Asked by: Mark Schilke
A:
Hi Mark, Thank you for your email, it looks like that is a mistake on our circuit diagram. I believe before the C5 it should connect to the VCC and then into one of the power pins on the motor driver but I am not certain. I have passed this to our technical team to have a look over and update the circuit diagram and will let you know when we have done that Best Regards Cullen

Q:
I have just had three pupils assemble their bump and spin buggy kits but we have been unable to program them. I have tested the AXE027 cable (drivers and tests on the Picaxe 6 editor) but continue to get the message that "hardware is not found on COM port" when attempting to download the test program. Any suggestions?
Asked by: Ben Olson
A:

Hi Ben, I haven’t heard of this before so it is a little odd. I know the PICAXE IC has to have power supplied to it via the device it is plugged into such as the bump and spin kit. It could also be the software version you are using, check to see if the IC you are using is listed in the drop down list of the IC’s you can program to. Failing that PICAXE may be able to provide better help on this as I suspect it could be software related.

Q:
can it be used on its own or does something have to be purchased with it for it to work?
Asked by: Ali
A:

The kit includes everything you require for the kit, the only items you would need to purchase alongside are the batteries for the cage, and the download cable to enable you to program the PICAXE chip using the PICAXE software.
