Program A Picaxe With Arduino Software: Learn BASIC Programming for PICAXE with the AXEpad Editor

@Techone

Hi again we are using MPLAB IDE for PIC programming

Our project is that the arduino has to take some input value like example letter (A) from the Computer and it had to interact with PIC to get next letter (B) that's it, I need communication between Arduino and PIC If this is done then I can change the code according to my need.

PICAXE BASIC is much simpler to learn (and to 'debug') than traditional microcontroller languages such as assembler code or 'C'. The software is completely

A PICAXE chip is a standard Microchip PIC microcontroller that has been pre-programmed with the PICAXE bootstrap firmware code. The bootstrap code enables the PICAXE microcontroller to be re-programmed 'in position' directly via a simple 'three wire' download cable connection. This eliminates the need for an (expensive) conventional PIC programmer, making the whole download programming system a low-cost USB cable. The same software and download cable is used for all PICAXE chip sizes and project boards.

PICAXE microcontrollers are pre-programmed with an interpreter[2] similar to the BASIC Stamp but using internal EEPROM instead, thus reducing cost. This also allows downloads to be made with a simple serial connection which eliminates the need for a PIC programmer.[3] PICAXE is programmed using an RS-232 serial cable[4] or a USB cable[5] which connects a computer to the download circuit, which normally uses a 3.5 mm jack and two resistors.[6]

Just a heads up,a new version of the fantastic flowchart based programming software flowol has just been released, this release allows the software to connect to the arduino displaying real time out puts and allowing control from the software, well worth a look.

S4A has been developed at Citilab by the Edutec Research Group, with the help of the Smalltalk.cat programming group and of collaborators like Jorge Gómez, who leads the hardware and software educational project at Miscela.

My teaching philosophy is to learn the "basics" and build upon them. So we will explore how to connect electronic circuits to the PICAXE to learn electronics while basic programming is a bonus. I'll explain how the code works and present a number of simple working examples. Pictured above is the schematic to the test board I constructed based on the PICAXE 18M2 part.

PICAXE has several different types and I chose the middle unit to work with. While lacking some features of their more advanced chips, I'll demonstrate how to work around them. Click to view an actual picture of my test board.

For more information on their other PICAXE "chips" visit their website at www.picaxe.com. Their literature and software are free for download. For more information on the 18M2 we will be using here see PICAXE-18M2 Information.

For more information on the Atmega168-Arduino see my ATMEGA168 Arduino Micro Controller Projects page. In many cases I will compare the PICAXE to Arduino.

Gotta love all the bashing on this. It makes me laugh, the same as when people bash on the Arduino. If I had kids, I would love to show them this.

The Arduino is a platform dedicated to hobbyists, beginners, people who arent EEs, dont have '35 years of software and hardware design' or dont know '25 programming languages'. Kids (and some adults as well) have problems with the abstractness of coding. This helps visualize the concepts. Its a stepping stone for learning the code behind it that powers it all.

Also: please dont tell me what I should and shouldnt use my Arduino for. If I want to replace the TBI system on my Samurai with an Arduino powered replacement, I will do that.

In the meantime, I hope noone here scoffing at this idea is actually in charge of trying to educate beginners on electronics.

You say that you've worked on military projects... I've seen plenty of military projects and prototypes where they used VERY simple tools. You don't need a super computer for tasks that are trivial when all things are considered. As a matter of fact, the simple chips are often the better option.

Now if what you're saying is that the tools used in these aren't necessarily more advanced, but just less prone to error, then I do agree with you. Though in prototypes, they still often use very similar tools to the arduino and picaxe just because they're so easy to use for a proof of concept.

I agree; this is just a visual code editor. It does nothing to help teach what it really takes to make good software, which is knowledge and experience with algorithms, logic, object oriented design, etc.

The whole thing just smells fishy. Why does Julián need $4300 (really more like $3900 after Kickstarter and Amazon fees are subtracted) and why is he using the controversial Kickstarter organization to get it? Perhaps a clever strategy to help develop a new RobotGroup (a company that Julián works for) product (the DuinoBot Kids Controller) since Kickstarter doesn't do business funding? I'm all for investing in creative startups, but be careful about throwing any of your money into this one.

And isn't the Arduino tool chain already free?

The Programming Editor software provides a complete programming environment for generating BASIC programs for the PICAXE. Programs can be edited, compiled and downloaded to the PICAXE chips (all sizes) from within the same free software. This software supports both textual BASIC program listings and the generation of programs via graphical flowcharts. Flowcharts can be created and simulated on screen, and then automatically converted into BASIC program listings.

The

Programming is carried out via a simple USB (

The Picaxe is a neat little microcontroller that is a PIC programmed with a bootloader and BASIC interpreter. A simple (but clever) PC-based development environment allows you to write programs in a PBASIC-like language, and then download them to nonvolatile memory on the chip for execution.

This software is tested under all versions from Windows 2000 to Windows 10. Unconfirmed reports suggest that it works under WINE. The download is a .exe file; there are no other files required, so there is no installation program. Save it somewhere on your computer and just run it, and it will work. The manual is included in the .exe file, but you can download it separately if you want.

The compiler generates Intel IHEX files. Most of the programming software that I have seen expects this. Of course you need some sort of programming gadget to get the hex file into the chip. For the AVRs, I recommend an AVRISP mkII, which is available from various distributors. For the PICs, I recommend Microchip's PICkit 2 or 3, which is available from their web store. Both of these are officially supported, connect over USB, and cost less than 40 USD. It should generally be possible to use code generated by LDmicro with a bootloader. Most AVR parts have special fuses (BOOTRST, BOOTSZx) that will need to be configured for whatever bootloader you are using. The PIC16 parts don't have any specific hardware support for a bootloader, but LDmicro generates code with the correct format to allow the bootloader to rewrite the reset vector.
