The PICAXE microcontroller is a simple to code system mainly used by hobbyists (Me) and schools. It is used at my high school and I'm becoming a master at it. Mainly it's considered as a "Noob platform" amongst the arduino and parallax users. Ben, why not introduce the audence to the system and make something cool with it, to show it can compete with the more advanced microcontrollers on the market today? It would be very good for me and all hobbyists around the world who want to do more with the system to learn from the master of embedded systems.
