PICAXE "snap connector" kids microcontroller kit!

Step 16 Vero board offcuts- layouts

Here are the alternative mounting schemes- both now offer the extra Pin0 connection, with supply ground now wired to the small bolt. The PICAXE-08M socket & programming resistors perhaps best  mount on a 6x8 hole offcut of Vero board. Simple BBROYGBPGW colour coding of the wires (0=black, 1=Brown, 2=red, 4=yellow) can greatly help wiring. Note the lower picture clearly shows the unused PIN3 holes, which suit input from a Vishay TSOP 3 lead IR detector (along with it's usual pullup resistor.)
