PICAXE AXE015M2-SM-18M2 IC (300mil SOIC)

The PICAXE-18M2 is an 18-pin FLASH microcontroller chip that has 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 intuitive Logicator flowcharting software that especially enables younger students and hobbyists to start generating programs quickly and easily.

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.
