Hi,
I've previously communicated with the Picaxe, using rs323 and the seriel programming cable.
Now, is it possible to do this, with a USB cable while also powering the picaxe through the usb cable?
I've seen some mention of using a FTDI cable, but I'm a little unsure if that is what I am looking for, and if it is, how to proceed. Do I simply wire it to the board? Do I need additional components?
I'm a bit of a novice with picaxe, so if I'm leaving out something important, or asking something stupid, just let me know, and I'll try to adapt.
