PICAXE AXE012X2SM 20X2 Microcontroller (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 (13-0847) or USB (13-0849) 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 X2SM surface mount microcontroller chip comes in a 20-pin SMD package. All pins are individually configurable for greater I/O flexibility. The PICAXE chip features 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.
