WHAT WERE DOING:

.:Getting Started:.

.:(Blinking LED):.

LEDs (light emitting diodes) are used in all sorts of clever things

which is why we have included them in this kit. We will start off

with something very simple, turning one on and off, repeatedly,

producing a pleasant blinking effect. To get started, grab the parts

listed below, pin the layout sheet to your breadboard and then plug

everything in. Once the circuit is assembled you'll need to upload the program. To do this plug the

Picaxe Shield Base into your AXE027 cable. Then select the proper port in File > Options >Serial

Port Tab > (the comm port of your AXE027 Cable). Next upload the program by going to

Picaxe > Program (F5). Finally, bask in the glory and possibility that controlling lights offers.

If you are having trouble uploading, a full trouble shooting guide can be found here:

LED Not Lighting Up?LEDs will only work in one

direction. Try taking it out and

twisting it 180 degrees.

(no need to worry, installing it

backwards does no permanent

harm).

Changing the pin: Control the brightness:The LED is connected to pin S.13 but we can use any of Along with digital (on/off) control the Arduino can control

the picaxe shield based pins. To change it take the wire some pins in an analog (brightness) fashion. (more details on

plugged into pin S.13 and move it to a pin of your choice this in later circuits). To play around with it.

(from 0-13) (you can also use analog A0-A5) Change the LED to pin S.9: (also change the wire)symbol ledpin = S.9 and dirS.9 = 1

Then in the code change the lines:

Add in the following code before the loop:pwmout ledpin,150,150Replace the code inside the loop with:Then upload the program: (F5)pwmduty ledpin, 50

Change the blink time: this will be a not so bright led - change that value for 0 to 150Unhappy with one second on one second off?

Fading:

In the code change the lines: We will use another included example program. To open go to high ledpin

See the extra text file for this examplepause time on //(seconds * 1000)low ledpin Then upload to your board and watch as the LED fades in andpause time off //(seconds * 1000)

then out.

symbol ledpin = S.newpin and dirS.newpin

Still No Success?A broken circuit is no fun, send

us an e-mail and we will get

back to you as soon as we can.

Program Not Uploading

This happens sometimes,

the most likely cause is a

confused serial port, you

can change this in
