www.picaxe.co.ukSection 1 4GETTING STARTEDAbout this manualThe PICAXE manual is divided into three separate sections:Section 1 - Getting Started (picaxe_manual1.pdf)Section 2 - BASIC Commands (picaxe_manual2.pdf)Section 3 - Microcontroller interfacing circuits (picaxe_manual3.pdf)This first section provides general information for getting started with the PICAXEsystem. 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 PICAXEmicrocontroller chips. Two are free, the other two are low cost options.PICAXE Programming EditorThe PICAXE Programming Editor is the main Windows application used forprogramming PICAXE chips. This software is free of charge to PICAXE 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 PICAXE chips.PICAXE VSMPICAXE VSM is a Berkeley SPICE circuit simulator, which will simulate completeelectronic circuits using PICAXE 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 PICAXE VSM.Please see the separate Logicator manual for more details about the Logicator flowchartprogramming method.revolution(c) Revolution Education Ltd.
