PICAXE-28X2 SHIELD BASE

The PICAXE-28X2 shield base has been designed to be compatible with almost all 'shield modules' as used with the Arduino system. This allows use of the various third party shields (Ethernet, MP3, Motor controllers) etc. with the PICAXE-28X2 microcontroller system, programming in BASIC. The PICAXE-28X2 chip is included with this purchase. This pack also includes a free AXE405 proto shield PCB for experimentation. This is the pre-assembled version, also available as a self assembly kit (AXE401KIT).

The PICAXE Shield Base can be used with any software application that supports the PICAXE hardware.
