The purpose of this paper is to introduce the amateur radio operator to designing microcontroller based projects with the PICAXE microcontroller. Being the PICAXE microcontroller is programmed in BASIC programming language, the ease of learning to use the device for the newcomer as well as the radio amateur who has programmed in BASIC programming in times past, is much easier. This paper will explain what PICAXE microcontrollers are and how to get started in using them in project designs.
