28 X2 stack kit, or a canuck kit

So after dealing with Advanced Micro ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Services, I bought my kit off a Canadian company, HVW Tech. Calgary based it was bought by Solar Robotics quite recently.

 

Pretty good deal, about 50$ CAD gets you:

- 'AXE Stack-28 kit
- PICAXE Programming Cable
- 2-Panel Solderless Breadboard
- Breadboard Voltage Regulator Kit
- 140 Piece Wiring Kit

 

They called me the day after I ordered to tell me that the wiring kit was out of stock but would send it when they had it.

The only difference was the actual picaxe board which is their variation, I guess it's made for going directly into a bread board/proto board.

The only bad part to it is that the pins are different from the standard kit so you have to refer to a conversion sheet.

You have to put it together, it was really easy though, considering I suck at soldering :P

Here are some photos of the kit.

The 5V voltage regulator, again, you have to put it together.

Ahh, USB I wish, it was
Ahh, USB I wish, it was serial, I ordered the usb for 20CAD
