After years of relying on the Basic Stamp modules for my personal and business projects, I decided to try something new. I have written many microcontroller programs in machine code, all the way back to the Intel 8048, but in the last few years I have used controller chips that program in basic. It’s easier and faster for me to develop a simple program to do a specific task using basic. I started with the Z8 by Zillog, and then the BS1 Basic Stamp. Now I’m giving the Picaxe 08M2 a try. I ordered a proto board and programming cable
