Nokia 5110 type LCD display on a PICAXE...
 
We had the opportunity recently to interface a Nokia style LCD display to a PICAXE.  We learned quite a bit in the process and decided to make it available in a more general form.  We came up with two different but related methods of using a PICAXE to put text messages on one of these handy little displays.  One method is easier to use, the other uses less memory.  We also put these two methods into program template form.  A formatted program template provides a structured means to build your final program, with specific areas set aside for definitions, main logic and subroutines.  Using program templates is all about making the prototyping process more robust and repeatable.

New products and content today...
We added a new Optical components category as well as a bunch of new optical sources and sensors to go into it.  Check it out to see if there is anything you need.  Also, check out this Document on using inexpensive thermistors to measure temperature.  It covers the math and code for both Arduino and PICAXE.

Introducing...

This week we've added more than 20 new products including the new OMS D-Axe II and a couple of all new Aztec Q-Kits.

The D-Axe II is the latest development from OMS for the PICAXE project designer.  It has great new and asked for features like on-board reset and data communication status indicators plus a lot more. Check it out.

Aztec Q-kits are a neat way to order your project parts quickly and at a cost savings.  The first two are the DS1307 RTC Q-Kit and the ATmega328 Q-Kit.  Each has all the specific parts you need to support the target device in your project to save you time and money. More to come...

We've also bolstered our Components section and Dollar Store with more offerings too.  Have a look around to see if there is something you need, like MLCC capacitors, MOSFETs or header kits.
