Picaxe 18x
The PICAXE-18X is a four channel data logger; this microcontroller can be programmed to perform many different types of tasks. The data logger has 5 input pins 3 analogue or digital (labelled 0, 1, 2, on the left of the chip) and 2 which are strictly digital (labelled 6, 7 on the left of the chip). Whereas it has and 7 strictly digital output pins (labelled 0 – 7 on the right of the chip).
The data logger comes with a memory chip; this can store 2048 byte readings (8 blocks of 256 bytes). If you want to the memory capacity can be increased. For more data storage capacity the optional AXE111 memory expansion board can be used giving a total of 2MB of memory.
The data logger has been designed to run on 3xAA batteries or if using rechargeable batteries 4xAA should be used to run the data logger, both of which supply the microchip with bout 4.5 – 4.8 volts.
