Anyone have any idea how to get a Wii Nunchuck to work with a picaxe?  I've seen webpages like this where they've used an Arduino but I couldn't find anyone using a picaxe.  http://www.windmeadow.com/node/42

Solarbotics motor question

Hello.  Anyone know how to use a pin on port C, say...c7 (leg 26) in order to get a pulsin or pulsout for the 40X1 picaxe?  I know the syntax just to turn the pin high or low, but I don't know how to reference the pin when I use the pulsin command, for example what would go in the "pin" part of the PULSIN command:

 

PULSIN pin,  state, wordvariable

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can give =)
