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.\n\nThe 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.\n\n\nWarning: 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.\n\n\nKey Features\n\n\nBeginner-Friendly – Through-hole components are easy to solder, no surface-mount work required\n\nPICAXE Compatible – Designed for 8-pin PICAXE microcontrollers (sold separately)\n\nProto Board Layout – Simple PCB layout for learning and experimentation\n\nBattery Powered – Runs on 4.5–5 V via the included battery snap\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nBeginners learning to solder and program microcontrollers\nPICAXE microcontroller projects\nEducational electronics workshops\n\n\n\nNote: An 8-pin PICAXE microcontroller chip is required and sold separately.\n\n\nResources\n\nAXE021 Proto Board Datasheet\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":10697,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-DEV-08321","price":10.6,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":10,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
