Getting Started Flowcharts or BASIC? Windows, Linux or Mac?. Software Selection Most hobbyist and commercial users, as well as some educational users, program the PICAXE chip using the easy to learn BASIC language. This language is designed to allow users without any formal programming experience to be able to quickly and simply develop PICAXE microcontroller programs. PICAXE BASIC is much simpler to learn (and to 'debug') than traditional microcontroller languages such as assembler code or 'C'. The software for BASIC programming is completely free and available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Windows users should select the. Mac and Linux users should select, or.

Chromebook users should use. iPad and Android tablet users can use in their web browser The software also includes a very useful on-screen simulation mode, where programs can be tested and ‘stepped through’ before downloading to the chip. Education Most educational users in high schools use the Blockly or flowchart programming method. Using these systems, the command 'cells' are simply dragged on to screen and then graphically joined together to create the PICAXE program. Circuit Simulation and PCBs For fully animated electronic PICAXE circuit simulation using Berkeley SPICE models please see the software. For PCB generation we recommend free software such as or Eagle.
