www.picaxe.co.uk<strong>Section</strong> 1 4GETTING STARTEDAbout this manualThe <strong>PICAXE</strong> manual is divided into three separate sections:<strong>Section</strong> 1 - Getting Started (picaxe_manual1.pdf)<strong>Section</strong> 2 - BASIC Commands (picaxe_manual2.pdf)<strong>Section</strong> 3 - Microcontroller interfacing circuits (picaxe_manual3.pdf)This first section provides general information for getting started with the <strong>PICAXE</strong>system. No prior understanding of microcontrollers is required. A series oftutorials introduce the main features of the system.For more specific information, syntax and examples of each BASIC Commandplease see section 2 ‘BASIC Commands’.For microcontroller interfacing circuits, and example programs, for mostcommon input/output transducers, please see section 3Software OverviewRevolution Education Ltd publish 4 software titles for use with the <strong>PICAXE</strong>microcontroller chips. Two are free, the other two are low cost options.<strong>PICAXE</strong> Programming EditorThe <strong>PICAXE</strong> Programming Editor is the main Windows application used forprogramming <strong>PICAXE</strong> chips. This software is free of charge to <strong>PICAXE</strong> users.The Programming Editor supports both textual (BASIC) and flowchart (graphical)methods of developing programs. This manual was prepared using version 5.3.0of the Programming Editor software.AXEpadAXEpad is a simpler, free version of the Programming Editor software for use onthe Linux and Mac operating systems. It supports the BASIC programmingmethod.Logicator for PIC microsLogicator is a flowcharting application designed for educational use. Programs aredeveloped as graphical flowcharts on screen. These flowcharts are thenautomatically converted into BASIC files for download into the <strong>PICAXE</strong> chips.<strong>PICAXE</strong> VSM<strong>PICAXE</strong> VSM is a Berkeley SPICE circuit simulator, which will simulate completeelectronic circuits using <strong>PICAXE</strong> chips. The BASIC program can be steppedthrough line by line whilst watching the input/output peripheral react to theprogram.This manual focuses on the BASIC textual programming language, as used byProgramming Editor, AXEpad and <strong>PICAXE</strong> VSM.Please see the separate Logicator manual for more details about the Logicator flowchartprogramming method.revolution(c) Revolution Education Ltd.
