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.

Q. Hi. Im assuming that pins 9 and 10 are for a resonator? Is this included?
Thanks
A. Hi Stuart, thank you for your question. A resonator is required for some clock speeds. The default is 8MHz internal as stated in the data sheet. The resonator is not included.
