<p>203.172.224.6: /* Hardware */</p> <hr /> <div>PICAXE is a brand of micro-controller, running inside PIC micro-controllers from Microchip. These chips come in many flavors and sizes, from 8 pins to 40. They are very cheap and come with free software for programming in BASIC (MAC, LINUX, Windows) or with flow charts (Windows).<br /> <br /> PICAXE is a nice alternative to other micro-controllers used in education in that it's cheap if you already have an electronics lab, the software is free.<br /> <br /> I have used PICAXE to make data-loggers, for light, temperature, and wind speed. I have also made a MIDI controller, where the PICAXE interprets potentiometer metrics into MIDI controller signals; this is useful for running TRAKTOR, see [[MIDI]] and [[DJ mixers]].<br /> <br /> The main web site for PICAXE is here: http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/picaxe/<br /> <br /> Very nice site!<br /> <br /> Very nice site!</div>
