PICAXE-08M2 Starter Pack

This PICAXE-08M2 Starter Pack is a self-assembly kit, based on the PICAXE-08M2 Microcontroller.

The starter pack is targeted at schools and general educational purposes, but the open design also makes it very useful for hobbyists to use it as a project board, or for any one who wants to self study, or learning by experimenting.

The 'starter pack' includes both a training board, AXE027 download cable and a battery box. The software needed is free, so all extra you need to get started, is a computer and batteries. Furthermore, free training resources and tutorials are provided in the PICAXE manuals.

 The project board comes with assembly instructions, and when completed, the board will contain the following:

• PICAXE-08M2
• IC socket (to easily replace the PICAXE-08M2)
• All necessary extra components for the PICAXE-08M2 to operate
• USB cable connector

This starter kit can be used with any software application that supports the PICAXE hardware, including the free PICAXE Editor 6
