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. A compact but powerful, PICAXE-18M2+ microcontroller. Very popular in education due to its low cost and small size, but also very popular in a wide range of hobbyist projects. This chip supports up to 16 inputs/outputs with 10 analogue/touch sensor channels. All M2 series parts support enhanced features such as configurable i/o pins, parallel tasks, ring tone music and touch sensor inputs.
“Why build a clock that displays four letter words? The current time is everywhere; on your PC, smartphone, GPS, MP3 player, etc. Heck, you may even own a watch! Four letter words are pretty common as well. So why then …
