Product Details

PICAXE Editor 6 is the completely free software application for developing and simulating PICAXE BASIC, PICAXE Blockly and PICAXE flowchart programs under Windows (see AXEpad for Linux and Mac).

PICAXE Editor 6 supports all PICAXE chips and has a full suite of code development features such as:

  • source code colour syntax highlighting and interactive tooltips
  • auto indentation
  • powerful preprocessor for #include and macros
  • syntax check and program download
  • code explorer to shown variable, label and constant values
  • full on screen simulation with animated chips and line by line code highlighting
  • simulation breakpoints by line number and variable value
  • debug and serial terminal windows
  • AXE027 download cable testing and port identification tools
  • various testing tools such as the analogue calibration wizard
  • various code generation wizards (pwmout, tune etc.)
  • full flowcharting support

PICAXE Editor 6 can be used for school, private or commercial projects without charge. It may also be installed on school networks without the requirement of any license agreement paperwork.

PICAXE Editor 6 is a new release that replaces both of these two legacy products: PICAXE Programming Editor 5 and Logicator for PICs
