What difference 08M2 and 08M2+

[ferrymanr]

I have just programmed up an 08M2 to do a small task and it works fine. I ordered up a couple of extra 08M2 chips but those supplied are marked 08M2+. Had a good look around the PICAXE documentation but could not find an information on what is extra (or lost) with the "+" version. Can someone enlighten me please.
Thanks
Dick

I did look at that but the only reference to a "+" version was the 18M2+ which has more parallel tasks, more variabes ram and some table data. There is only a reference to the 08M2 not the 08M2+.

Hi,

Yes, I think the relevant links are:

The older (now discontinued) PICAXE-08M2LE educational part did not have the +.

All 08M2 parts now shipped have the + marking, so it is just a 'regular' 08M2.
