PICAXE 8 Pin Proto Kit
13 units available with a short lead time.
The PICAXE 8 Pin Proto Kit is a beginner-friendly kit for getting started with 8-pin PICAXE microcontrollers. It includes a handful of easy-to-solder through-hole components and a proto board, making it an ideal first project for learning microcontroller basics.
The kit includes a battery snap for power, but the board must only be driven at 4.5–5 V. A 3×AA battery pack is recommended instead of a 9 V battery to prevent damage to the board.
Warning: Do not connect a 9 V battery to this board. The proto board is rated for 4.5–5 V only. Use a 3×AA battery pack for safe operation.
Key Features

- Proto Board Layout – Simple PCB layout for learning and experimentation
- Battery Powered – Runs on 4.5–5 V via the included battery snap
Ideal For
- Beginners learning to solder and program microcontrollers
- PICAXE microcontroller projects
- Educational electronics workshops
Note: An 8-pin PICAXE microcontroller chip is required and sold separately.
