Post project 8: Bury the hatchet, unbury the axe
Microcontrollers can be used to add
processing capabilities to any project,
and off-the shelf microcontrollers are
often used to fulfill a specific purpose.
Programming a microcontroller with
your own firmware gives you complete
freedom to implement smart input and
output for your projects. The PICAXE
system gives any hobbyist the chance
to program a microcontroller and interface
it to peripherals with little hassle
and at low cost.

The PICAXE products are a range of Microchip PIC microcontrollers programmed with a special firmware by Revolution Education [1]. The philosophy behind the PICAXE system is that the best way to learn how to program and implement microcontrollers in a project is to use a cheap system that doesn’t require a lot of experience but still offers complex interfacing capabilities that make the microcontrollers suitable for more advanced projects.
