This cable allows you to program all PICAXE chips via a USB port instead of a serial port. It replaces the serial cable in every way and can be used with any software that supports PICAXE programming with the serial cable.

Cable is 6' long.

Tips

Always plug in the USB cable before starting the Programming Editor software.
Always use the USB cable in the same USB port on your computer. The Windows operating system regards each individual USB port as a unique location. Therefore if you plug your cable into a different USB port you may be prompted by Windows to reinstall the driver files for this new location.

Also available in a serial version.
