The Electronic Die Using the PICAXE 08 Mr Rooks The Electronic Die Using the PICAXE 08 For our circuit we will use: 1 Input (In 3) (the switch) & 4 Outputs Out 0 Out1 Out 2 Out 4 (the LEDS) The Diagram above shows the PIN NUMBERS and the INPUTS/OUTPUTS of the PICAXE 08 Microchip.
The Electronic Die Using the PICAXE 08 How come we only use 4 OUTPUTS of the PIC Chip & there are 7 LEDs? Some OUTPUTS are linked to more than 1 LED
The Electronic Die Using the PICAXE 08 The left diagonal LEDS are connected to OUTPUT 4. The middle LED is connected to OUTPUT 2 The right diagonal LEDS are connected to OUTPUT 1 The centre LEDs are connected to OUTPUT 0
The Electronic Die Using the PICAXE 08 We can PROGRAMME the PIC Chip so that 1, 2, 3 or even 4 OUTPUTS are switched on at once. What number will the LEDs represent when OUTPUTS 1, 2, & 4 are switched on. How to set the outputs. Example of a PROGRAMME
The Electronic Die Using the PICAXE 08 The LED arrangements for numbers 1 - 6
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 Open up the Programme PIC Logicator 2006 Notice the start command is already in place
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 The first thing we need to do is tell the programme what PIC we are using and how many INPUTS and OUTPUTS we need. Select the PICAXE 08 and choose 1 INPUT and 4 OUTPUTS
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 Make sure OUTPUT 2 is ON and the other OUTPUTs are OFF Drag the OUTPUT command into position and double click on it. The OUTPUT box will appear. Change the name in the Cell Label box from OUTPUTS to LED 1
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 Drag the wait decision into position Set the time for 1 second
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 Drag another OUTPUT command into position. Turn output 2 off. Put in another wait command for 1 Second.
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 Using the Ctrl & Arrow Keys on the keyboard. Draw in the direction arrows for your FLOWCHART.
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 Download your programme/flowchart to your circuit using the FLASH icon
What Happened? What Happened? Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 What Happened? What Happened? The LEDS should be flashing on/off every second The LEDS should be flashing on/off every second
Programming your Dice using PIC Logicator 2006 Congratulations!!!! Can you now programme the PIC Chip so all the LEDS flash on and off every 0.5Second? Need a Clue?
Any Questions? Mr. Rooks
