The PICAXE 08M2+ is part of 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 via the Logicator flowcharting software. Windows, Mac and Linux are all supported by the free BASIC software which can be downloaded from www.picaxe.co.uk.
Programming is carried out via a simple USB (13-0849) or serial (13-0847) cable. In addition to the microcontroller chips, starter, tutorial, and upgrade kits are available to provide a complete PICAXE solution.
Suitable for education, industry and hobbyists

To use 08M2+ parts you must upgrade your software to these or later versions: Programming Editor 5.4.3; Logicator 3.6.0; AXEpad 1.4.0. All updates are free to download from www.picaxe.com/software.
Brilliant chip, very powerful for the size. I would strongly recommend this product and endorse it in every way. Also very impressed with the rapid and free delivery. I have no complaints.
