## Description

PICAXE-08M2 microcontroller chip.

PICAXE is a neat entry-level microcontroller system that is relatively cheap to get started with. The chip is programmed with a simple serial connection and the BASIC development environment is free! PICAXE has some excellent educational applications and support, and is a great entryway into more complicated embedded systems. If you’re look for a place to start with microcontrollers, PICAXE is a great way to go!

**Note:** The markings on these ICs vary. You may get an IC which says PIC12F1840 instead of 08M2. These are both the same Microcontroller. For more information, [check here](https://picaxe.com/what-is-picaxe/picaxe-chip-labels/).
