The PICAXE microcontroller is an inexpensive tiny computer sitting in a microchip. It can be programmed by you to control gadgets, your inventions or your creations and the list of these are endless. Your ideas and imagination are your only limiting factor. Alarm systems, keypad entry systems, electronic dice, games and colour sensors are but a few. These are easily achievable within the PICAXE environment. You, the PICAXE microcontroller, and the software that allows you to program it can create or develop interactive projects with it's outside world. It can respond to sensors, lights, motors, switches, solenoids and all manner of input and output mechanisms and all sorts of contraptions. This book is volume 1 part 2. The first 19 are in book 1, a further 12 are in this book. The projects are illustrated with pictures, electronic schematics and photographs of the working project. There is sufficient explanation alongside each project where appropriate. This is volume 1 part 2 and continues immediately from volume 1 part 1. If you are just starting out with PICAXE microcontrollers I urge you to obtain part 1 as it contains a lot of starting information about the microcontrollers. A website : http://storm.xyz/picaxe is there to assist in the projects and all code is available for free download using the code from within the book. I hope that the reader of this book is inspired to create their own projects after reading this book. Ken Anderson.
