AXE110.PMD

PICAXE DATALOGGER

The ‘

Readings

’ box allows the number of mission samples to be selected (up to the

memory limit).

The ‘

Outputs

’ box allows selection of various outputs as follows:

- Use bi-co lo ur LED

If selected, the status LED will flash green every time a reading is taken. When the

mission is complete (or the memory is full) the LED will turn red. If a memory

error occurs, the LED will alternately flash red/green.

- Use piezo  so under

If selected, the optional piezo sounder (SPE002) will beep every time a reading is

taken.

- Use speech

If selected, the optional speech module (SPE020) will speak the readings as they are

taken. Note that the SPE020 module is discontinued and no longer available.

- Use serial LCD

If selected, the optional serial LCD module (AXE033) will display the readings as

they are taken.

- Use EE WP o n AXE111

If selected, output6 is used as a write-enable for the AXE111 memory expansion

board. Note this option cannot be used at the same time as the serial LCD option,

as both options use output6. If selected, a jumper wire should be soldered across

the pads marked LK1 on the bottom of the AXE110 datalogger module.
