What is PICAXE?
A PICAXE microcontroller is designed to be the brain of your electronic project. Originally designed as an educational system for schools, the PICAXE system has now also been widely adopted by hundreds of thousands of 'hobbyists' due to its ease of use. Each year thousands of high school students are also introduced to electronics and microcontrollers via building a PICAXE project.
PICAXE chips are popular because they are very low-cost, and simple to program using free, easy-to-learn software.
The PICAXE chip can react to input sensors and switch outputs on and off accordingly.
