PICAXE "snap connector" kids microcontroller kit!

Step 17Simple "2 snap" strip hot air gun right angle conversion

Simple \"2 snap\" strip hot air gun right angle conversion
A small mounted bolt neatly grips an angled 2 strip ( bent  90 degrees with a hot air gun)- good board layout space is available for this  new GND connection! The previous 0V now rewires as Pin0. A significant safety issue of such a ground connection is that supply connection blunders become somewhat less likely! Educationally such a solid terminal even looks akin to chassis ground connections seen in wider electrical use.

The setup here in fact suits all manner of  intro. PICAXE driven investigations. Such inbuilt commands as HIGH, LOW, PAUSE, WAIT, SLEEP,SOUND, PWM etc allow  LEDs to be flashed & sequenced,delays produced, and diverse sounds and tunes rustled up. The Revolution Education PICAXE manuals offer extensive insights into command use, while the authors article resource site has many "copyleft" examples http://www.picaxe.orcon.net.nz
