INTRODUCTORY MICROCONTROLLERS: PAT’S PROJECTS USING PROGRAMMABLE PICAXE 14M2

MICROCONTROLLERS: PAT’S PROJECTS

WHAT ARE PAT’S PROJECTS?

PAT’S PROJECTS are based around making and using a Picaxe 14M2 Programmable microcontroller. These projects (and many more) were developed by Pat McMahon – a Senior Technology teacher at Diamond Valley College in Melbourne. Over more than 10 years, Pat has taught microcontrollers and programming to thousands of students from year 7 to 10 as well as hundreds of technology teachers – usually through DATTA Vic. Workshops. Pat has been fortunate to have shown his students’ work overseas, and has received 5 Australian, State and Regional awards for Innovation and Excellence.

Scorpio Technology are very pleased to work with Pat and to be able to make this (introductory) range of Pat’s Projects available to many more teachers around Australia, who can gain the benefits of Pat’s work and knowledge.

IMPORTANT:

  • The basic unit is a Microcontroller which has 10 LEDs and a piezo buzzer. This allows the students to make the microcontroller and program a “Lights and Sounds” display.

  • Once the microcontroller has been made, the same microcontroller can then be used to run a number of different projects – these are all ADD-ONs that allow the student to remove the LEDs and reuse the microcontroller to run e.g. The Hexapod, the Animated Disc or the Robot Buggy.
    The ADD-ONs will ONLY WORK with a microcontroller – not on their own.

  • All of the Add On projects will run by programming the Microcontroller using the Free (downloadable) Picaxe Editor.

  • A PICAXE download cable (PICUCAB) IS REQUIRED to download programs from your computer & can be purchased from us.

  • All of the kits can also be controlled using an Infra-Red remote - by getting the Infra-Red Add-On kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our kits contain all the electrical, electronic and mechanical components needed to build the device (only).  The teacher supplies readily available material for wiring, making body parts, etc.  – NO BODY PARTS OR WIRES ARE INCLUDED in the kits (unless otherwise specified).  Each order includes comprehensive instructions / Teaching Unit.

  • The legend (included in each kit description) shows how we have graded the kits.  These are a guideline only – construction times can vary considerably, depending on the student’s existing knowledge, skills and experience, and the amount of resources and design input expected.

  • Overviews for our kits can be obtained from our website.  Each Overview has a description of the kit, what is provided in the kit, additional items and tools that may be required, information about the project, and where applicable, what theory is covered. These Overviews don’t contain any assembly instructions – those are provided with your order.  Otherwise, you can phone or email us, to send you a FREE copy of the teaching unit for any kits that you may be interested in.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • We offer bulk pricing for large order quantities. Each kit description includes any bulk pricing based on the quantities purchased.
