This PICAXE Experimenter Kit (AXE091U) is a very versatile bundle for anyone eager to get started experimenting with PICAXE right away. The kit comes with a PICAXE-18M2, but the open design let's you use any of the PICAXE chips, sold seperately.

The board can be powered via batteries (battery box included), or an external power supply (sold seperately), and the board has onboard regulated power supply, with LED power indicator.

The kit includes both this board, a download cable and a CD with all software needed. All extra you need to get started, is a computer, and batteries or a power supply.

Furthermore, free training resources and tutorials are provided in the PICAXE manual (Part 1 - Getting Started).

The experimenter kit can be used with any software application that supports the PICAXE hardware, including the free ‘PICAXE Programming Editor’ and/or ‘Logicator for PIC Micros’ software.
