The PICAXE-40X1 IC is the biggest, baddest PICAXE made. LOTS of power, memory, and ability, all programmable in a graphical flowchart-like language or easy-to-learn BASIC.
.
NOW you're looking at the almighty kahuna of the PICAXE lineup. With the most pins, most memory, and all the features of the X1 series, you'll be hard-pressed to find a project that this chip can't handle.
The PICAXE-40X1 offers:
1000 lines memory
8-20 Inputs
9-17 outputs
Hardware I2C support for easy peripheral connecting
Internal Timer
Increased variables and separate memory scratchpad
Enhanced mathematical functions
3-7 8/10-bit Analog-to-Digital converters (ADC)
20MHz maximum operation speed (4MHz normally)
Line-by-line simulation
Supports
Interrupts
12-Bit Digital temperature sensors
Servo control
Keyboard input
IR transmit/receive
Plays user-defined musical tones
PWM Motor control
Input Pulse counting
Serial output & debugging via programming cable
Higher baud rate for serial work
Based on the PIC 16F887 IC
The ‘PICAXE’ system is a powerful, low cost microcontroller programming system designed to simplify educational and hobbyist use of microcontrollers. PICAXE chips can be programmed in a graphical 'flow-chart' environment or in easy to understand BASIC.
