    The Ultimate Tube RIAA-Amplifier?

    Thanks Roger, I was clueless. What does cossor literally translate to in Dutch? Is the term exclusive to a rectifier tube or more broadly used? Chris

    Roger, I feel stupid asking this but what is a "cossor"? Chris

    I'm going to try to explain this a little differently than Steve did. I'm going to make believe you're a (dumb as a box of rocks) blond. :p Just kidding, but I am going to try to boil it down to plain un-cryptic English. I can't do it right now though. I've been (physically) vegetating in...

    Which PicBasic Software To Use?

    Thanks Peter, you'll find that even the mods here at EP are very human. Even they occasionally misinterpret the tone of a post and respond in like manner. It's probably the thing I like about EP the most. I feel connected to the membership, mods and administration like no other forum I've been...

    My background is included in my profile. Just click on my avatar. ..Retired engineering tech. I like toys and I don't like being limited by restrictions found in free editions. If I like something I'm a extremely compulsive shopper. That is unless the cost is in the ozone. My ceiling on software...

    No problem. You could have put it here, as it's totally pertinent to this thread. ;) The more I learn about MBP the better. Chris

    Ok guys, I received a reply from MB and I'm waiting for a second reply before I try another install. I agree that the installation address shouldn't cause any of the problems I've experienced but I do like my apps/files filed in logical locations. Unless otherwise told not to by MB the next...

    Though I haven't done any PWM with Picaxe I'm reasonably certain that the initializing of the PWM is causing your flash. Try changing the duty cycle on that line to '0'. After all,.. your Duty Cycle loop starts at 0, so why not the PwmOut line? pwmout pwmdiv4, 2, 99, 0 Chris

    Robert, try sticking a 2 sec delay in there. It's not going to fix it. It will only help you localize the line of code that causes it. This way you can determine if occurs prior to entering the loop. Adding delays that humans can detect can be very helpful when debugging and refining code...

    help with picaxe

    I feel justified with my,.. as you stated, "Very Bold" statement regarding your prospective learning curve for Picaxe or Basic coding, for that matter. You're quickly learning that you don't have to know everything, just how to find it and tweak it to fit your project. Full understanding and...

    Guys you really have to check this out. I know nothing about this software but a little bit of reading in any tab, button or link at this site is guaranteed to bring a smile. I've read Pigeon English before but this attempt at translation from Italian is hysterical! :D...

    Which PicBasic Software To Use?

    Harald, that's the "What the hell is going on here" question. Since I've had this W7 laptop I've installed plenty of 32 bit apps with absolutely no issues. W7 64bit is supposed to be able to run 32 bit apps seamlessly. The only issue that I was aware of was the older 16bit apps like VB6 that...

    The Ultimate Tube RIAA-Amplifier?

    What can I say? It's pretty much what Steve said. Well, maybe one thing... I think RCA jacks are probably the worst connector ever developed. Regardless of the fact that they've been around since the 1940's, possibly even the 30's. I know that F connectors are well accepted as low cost but very...

    I uninstalled it for the third and final time. I will also do a system restore just to be sure! I'm saddling up Trigger and going for a very, very long ride. I hope to be thinking about nothing more than dodging motorists and buzzards! Chris

    I missed this post. However this is a hell of a time to find this out. It sure would have been helpful to know this prior to my third try at installing it! Are you saying that you knew this? My registry is probably a mess by now. :( Chris

    Which PicBasic Software To Use?

    It's running fine on XP but not in W7/64bit. Windows are chopped off and now the error when starting MBP has returned. Also, when the installer reached the point of driver installations it only asked if a wanted to. I clicked yes but it really doesn't install them. It only creates a driver...

    help with picaxe

    When I help members with Picaxe, absolutely everything I do is done in the editor and tested in the simulator. The code that's generated for PWM is something that must be done with real hardware because PWM/LEDs works only because of the persistence of the human eye. Translation: PWM doesn't...

    Yes, it was the first code you borrowed. I didn't run any of the subsequent code you posted. Chris

    Peter, this is my third re-install. This time I put it in my 64bit programs folder. No errors this time but the issue in the attached image, which I didn't mention before, still persists. I can't resize those windows! So far my "enjoyment" quotient = 0 * 1 ! :( Chris

    Robert, when you copy code from another developer please include the link you copied it from. This way we get a full picture of what the developer was working on as well as giving credit to him, them or what ever. Please do the same for any schematics you copy. OK, the code you posted works...
