A PicAxe is like a BasicStamp, only just a chip.  The pic chip has a Basic
interpreter loaded, and you download programs (serial port) to it.  Neat
little things, actually.  You can wipe the Basic to get just a Pic, but
that's a bit silly.

Check www.picaxe.co.uk or www.rev-ed.co.uk for more.  Popular in Australia &
New Zealand.

And there are surface mount variations too!

Ok, that doesn't help the original poster, but his problem isn't PicAxe,
just Pic.
