PICAXE is a microcontroller system that uses low cost FLASH memory based microcontrollers with a unique, pre-programmed PICAXE bootstrap code. This gives a device that may be reprogrammed typically 100,000 times without the need for an expensive and complicated programmer.
PICAXE is programmed using a simple BASIC language or by using an intuitive graphical flowchart system, enabling younger students and hobbyists to start generating programs quickly and easily.
Programming is carried out via a simple serial or USB cable which means that a simple project kit is easily assembled. In addition to the microcontroller chips, starter, tutorial, and upgrade kits are available to provide a complete PICAXE solution.
PICAXE microcontroller chips are available in 8, 14, 18, 20, 28 and 40-pin versions, giving a choice of the number of input and output lines, and also in several variants which offer differing amounts of memory and extra features so a choice can be made according to budget and ability.
- Suitable for education, industry and hobbyists
- Low cost and simple to use
- Wide range of variants
- Can be programmed using an intuitive graphical flowchart
- Easy to use Program Editor software

The Picaxe family of products, and specifically the smaller chips, will be the equivalent of the 555 timer of this new millenium.
They are low cost and very simple to use, require a minimal amount of components, yet they are extremely versatile and powerful. A godsend to analog engineers (like myself) who always wanted to incorporate a microcontroller to enhance a project.
