PICAXE AXE012M2-SM-20M2 (300mil SOIC)

The PICAXE-20M2 is a 20-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. Windows, Mac and Linux are all supported by the free

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.
