This is an ideal starter kit for those new to 8 pin PICAXE microcontrollers. It comes with several through-hole components that are easy to solder. You must buy the 8-pin PICAXE separately. The kit includes a battery snap, but the board should be powered by a 4.5 to 5V battery pack. To avoid accidentally connecting a 9V battery to the 5V board, we suggest using the 3xAA battery pack instead of the included battery snap. Documents available include the Datasheet.
Using this 8 Pin PICAXE Prototype Kit is a breeze. First, if you haven't already, purchase the 8-pin PICAXE. Then, start soldering the easy - to - work - with through - hole components onto the board. When it comes to powering the board, don't use the battery snap directly. Instead, attach a 4.5 to 5V battery pack. We recommend a 3xAA battery pack to prevent any issues with voltage. As for maintenance, keep the board in a dry place. If there are any loose components after soldering, re - solder them carefully. Always refer to the included datasheet for more detailed information about the PICAXE.
