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.
