The IPIC board combines:
  • PICAXE-08M microcontroller socket
  • serial I/O programming socket (3.5mm)
  • three PICAXE i/o lines
  • two FET full bridge motor drivers and microcontroller
  • two limit switch inputs
  • two step counter inputs
  • two 10 bit ADC inputs
  • two additional digital i/o lines
  • 5V regulator
But can the 08M manage all those features? By itself, no it can't. The trick is to use
another microcontroller with its own program to operate the motor drivers, monitor
the limit switches, count pulses and provide the extra ADC inputs. The PICAXE drives
the microcontroller via serial (2400bps) commands.
