PICAXE "snap connector" kids microcontroller kit!

October 2009 update -extra output !
A  simple & neat  enhancement, involving a new ground connection, has now utilised the initially neglected Pin0 (output only) as an extra output .  This has shown itself particularly handy for controlling more LEDs, sound making, simple stepper motor insights, & even  just "winking LED" program download verification.   

Pin 3 ( input only on a PICAXE-08M) remains unused, but scope for IR data reception exists for those with nimble fingers (refer later steps !) These handy 3 terminal devices need just +ve supply, ground & Pin3 data connections (plus a pullup resistor from the data pin to +ve). The PICAXE manuals offer extensive insights into their connection and use- enhanced IR handling comes included in the PICAXE-08M command set.
