PICAXE 20M2 Microcontroller Starter Pack Kit

The PICAXE 20M2 Starter Pack is a self-assembly project board kit designed to introduce electronics and microcontroller programming. Powered by the PICAXE-20M2 chip, it features an on-board Darlington driver to directly control higher-power devices such as motors, relays, and solenoids. It is ideal for classrooms, STEM students, and hobbyists learning through hands-on experimentation.

Educational self-assembly design

This starter pack provides all the components needed to build a functional PICAXE-20M2 microcontroller project board. Soldering is required for assembly, making it a practical project for electronics learners and hobbyists.

Integrated high-power driver

The project board includes a Darlington driver buffer chip supporting output currents up to 500mA. This allows you to connect and drive higher-power output devices, such as motors, solenoids, and relays, directly from the board.

Software and learning resources

The board is compatible with free software applications including the PICAXE Programming Editor and Logicator for PIC Micros. Free training resources and getting started tutorials are provided in the PICAXE manual.

Kit contents and requirements

The pack includes the training project board, a PICAXE-20M2 chip, an IC socket, all necessary operating components, a Darlington driver, and a battery box. To get started, a computer and batteries are required.
