Logicator mentions the Picaxe-08M2 in some of their latest literature:18M2 will arrive when it arrives.
July was a forecast not a Guarantee and still 18 days of July to go . . . .
08M2 where have you heard about that.
The only references here so far, are tongue-in-cheek humour
Any plans for an updated 8-pin Picaxe then?That's a typo in an out of date version of the Logicator sheet (now updated). The only part in the M2 range at present is the 18M2. We are also proposing a 14M2 and 20M2 at some point in the future, but no details on a release date yet.
Plus, those 9 pins provide up to 40 individually programmable I/O's! Oh, and it runs directly on sunlight.Yeah, there's a new one in about 3 weeks.
100k code space, 2 usarts , 16bit ADC, RTC, built-in 2.4GHz RF . Runs at 128MHz using a ds core and uses 1 uA. Oh, and it has 9 pins and writes the code for you.
It's called the PIC-WHY-CAN'T-U-JUST-WAIT-LIKE-EVERYONE-ELSE-AXE.
Well I guess I can cut one pin off.Yeah, there's a new one in about 3 weeks.

Good! Parallel tasking too?Yeah, there's a new one in about 3 weeks.

16-bit and 32-bit Picaxes? It's time to take the high ground!!That's a typo in an out of date version of the Logicator sheet (now updated). The only part in the M2 range at present is the 18M2. We are also proposing a 14M2 and 20M2 at some point in the future, but no details on a release date yet.
IO Options for the 02M2 are:The 02M2 is going to be the real challenge but it could be done. Microchip may one day produce suitable silicon. The download interface would almost certainly have to change
With what objective in mind? Faster downloading?Are we anywhere near a point where a total rewrite of the bootloader is in order?
Sunlight?! SUNLIGHT?!?! What am I going to do with all this pixie dust I harvested?Plus, those 9 pins provide up to 40 individually programmable I/O's! Oh, and it runs directly on sunlight.
Ahhhhh binary programming - wave the magnet back and fro to enter the individual bits of each byte of programming!IO Options for the 02M2 are:
1. reed switch across the 2 pins and the user uses a magnet
or
2. parasitically powered with programming and slave device control all via the Dallas/Maxim 1-Wire comms scheme
Ahhhhh binary programming - wave the magnet back and fro to enter the individual bits of each byte of programming!
Reminds me of the good ol' days of bootstrapping a PDP8 by toggling switches one by one!
One of our guys could enter the bootstrap from memory!
Tuck it away and do your homework, Dippy.Tush, you had it easy... I remember how I enjoyed fiddling with my Colossus.
Never touched a System 4 - just a 1903TThe ICL system 4 and te later PDP 8's I worked on had manual entry of the initial bootstrap so it could read the disc. Most of the engineers used to do it from memory - On the system 4 with it's 32 bit work it was somewhat like playing the piano. It just got drilled into your muscle memory without the need for concious though.
That would be my presumption also.Am I correct in presuming that when the 18M2 becomes available that there will be a relatively immediate announcement posted on the New Product Releases section for a heads' up?

I don't ask how they're coming as I don't want them to waste even a moment of their valuable development time on answering questions. I need chips as soon as possible that do most everything as simply as possible in order for me to maintain my mystique as a technical genius in front of my neighbors.I sent an email to www.techsupplies.co.uk last week to ask if there was any more news and the reply was they expect to have them ready by the end of next week
