Picaxe Chips

These components are the brains of your microcontroller projects. They are programmed with your program that is created with the Programming Editor.

The program can be written in BASIC or generated with the Flowchart editor that also encourages the students to look at simulation of the program.

The chips are divided into 4 families - 8 pin, 18 pin, 28 pin and 40 pin devices. The number of inputs and outputs is related to the number of pins or actual electrical connections.

PICAXE-18A and 18X

This device comes in two varieties - 18A and 18X. The functions of the pins is shown in the adjoining figures’

A new surface mount chip is also available

PICAXE-28A and 28X

This device comes in two varieties - 28A and 28X. The functions of the pins is shown in the adjoining figures’

A new surface mount chip is also available

PICAXE- 40X

This device is the largest of the PICAXE family.

The 40 pins are shared between input/output ports and analog input channels
