The 'AXE Stack-18 Starter Kit is the premier development bundle for anyone interested in learning, or experimenting, with the PICAXE 18 Microcontroller. Not only do you get the easy of the PICAXE but you get the flexibility of a large work area and the convenience of getting everything you need at once.

The ‘AXE Stack-18 Starter Kit includes:

1x 'AXE Stack-18 kit (includes PICAXE-18M2)
1x USB Programming Cable
1x 2-Panel Solderless Breadboard
1x Breadboard Voltage Regulator Kit
1x Breadboard Jumper Wire Bundle

NOTE: A 6~12VDC power adapter is not included in the Starter Kits. See the Power Adapters category for suitable adapters. Also note that this kit contains several items that require assembly and soldering.

Please remember that this is the USB version of the starter kit, which is more expensive because of the special USB cable that is oh-so-useful with newer computers & laptops!
