I read Makzine blog http://blog.makezine.com/and Instructables http://www.instructables.com/tag/type-id/?sort=RECENT , Some of which I even find interesting and informative.
It is visible that there is an effort being made to (re) educate at least the interested part of the world in technical doing rather than using.
However it is also clear that their microprocessor approach is very biased towards products other than Picaxe (no names no Pack drill!)
May I suggest - nay encourage - everyone here to post an instructable involving a Picaxe - They do not need to be complex - a simple LED flasher for example would do - obviously if your capability is higher than more complexity would be interesting.
LED flashing in various ways including Manukas Morse beacon
Simple Robots
Charliplexed arrays of LEDs
Sound - Tune based projects
Single 7 seg display message box (displays message serially 1 letter at a time)
The possibilities for using the Picaxe in fairly simple projects is huge lts not let the opposition have it all their own way
