The
area I have been focusing on over the last week and what has been
consuming most of my time is the picaxe for the radio frequency
transmitters. I have relentlessly been trying the simplest setup to get
it to receive a program but there are still problems that follow it. I
originally was using a ttl-232r-5v cable to send the program to the
picaxe from the MacAXEpad software. After trying many troubleshooting
ways around it using the
manual
I still was stuck at getting the 'picaxe not detected' error. I am not
the only one who has had problems with the ttl-232r-5v cable and so
moved onto making my own db9 cable connection for a db9 cable.

Unfortunately
after testing this I am still stuck at the same error. Will see if
there is any difference on a PC but will most likely change onto using
mini arduino boards instead of picaxes. Our main concern is to make sure
that the radio frequency transmitters can work first so we can take the
right steps from there.
