PICAXE-28x2 Chip (300mil Soic)

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.



This PICAXE X2 microcontroller chip comes in a 28-pin package. Every pin is individually configurable for greater I/O flexibility. These latest designs of the PICAXE chip feature increased memory, scratchpad and RAM, plus additional features such as the ability to boot or run programs from I2C memory, additional timers, a SRLatch and additional interrupts.

• Suitable for education, industry and hobbyists
• Low cost and simple to use
• Can be programmed using an intuitive graphical flowchart
• Easy to use Program Editor software
• 28- and 40-Pin versions are available also in surface mount types
