PICAXE with the PULSIN command

using a PICAXE 08M to perform action based on PWM input from Radio Control(RC) receiver. Ideal if you want to make a circuit which works from the spare channel of your RC plane, car, boat, heli etc

@0curiousguy the PULSEIN command on the PICAXE is most likely a routine of many ASY commands on the PIC - (as with most commands in PACAXE) so to do the same with PIC would take quite a bit more work I imagine

@esscargo88 it's a 4.8V NiCad pack .. yes the pulses should register ok - TTL levels.

Hey, what is the output voltage of your receiver for the pulse? Because i'm running an 18x trying to do the same but idk if the output pulse voltage is significant enough to register with the picaxe

What is this "Pulsein" command for PIC chips? never seen it, but i would really like to use it for doing what you're doing.  :)

@Mc55Peak - sure, check 2:33 . that is NOT the exact code I had but close enough so that you get the idea.. super simple, really!

Hey there - beautifully simple setup - nice. Would be interested to see how you use the PULSIN command. Any chance of posting the code here also? Cheers
