In my escape from Microsoft, I found I can run the Windows PICAXE Editor 6.2.0.0 app with the AXE027 Serial Cable using Wine and Winetricks loaded from the Linux Mint Software Manager.
Not wanting to rely on PICAXECLOUD, or try the seemingly old Visual Studio Code or AXEpad options, my first challenge in Linux was to run the PICAXE Editor locally. As a DOS/Windows user of almost 40 years it was a baptism of fire to figure this out!! So I hope these notes prove useful to you or me in future. I don’t understand it all myself!
Please let me know if there are errors or updates and I’ll be happy to re-issue the attached instructions.
