Using the PICaxe system, you do not need specialist equipment or
knowledge to program the PIC microcontrollers used in these designs.

The flexibility of PIC microcontrollers is considerable and this series
of articles is based around a variant of one of them, using a general
purpose circuit and PCB allowing nine different projects to be realised.

PICaxe is a great way to introduce yourself to the world of PIC
microcontrollers. We use modified PIC16F627 devices that can be programmed
in BASIC. They do not need special programming hardware and they can
be programmed through a PC serial link.

Please see the magazine for details of mail-order sources of PICaxe
microcontrollers should you do not wish to program your own.
