Overview: What is the AXE007M2 Cable?

The AXE007M2 cable is an official USB download cable designed specifically for the PICAXE range of programmable microcontrollers. It enables straightforward programming and communication between your PC or laptop (Windows* and some Mac/Linux support) and PICAXE chips, connecting via a 3.5mm stereo jack plug. As the preferred programming tool for students, makers, and embedded developers, the AXE007M2 streamlines setup, eliminates the need for legacy serial ports, and works out of the box with official PICAXE Editor software.

Key Features & Specifications

  • USB to 3.5mm stereo plug (1.8m cable length typical).
  • Compatible with all standard 8/14/18/20/28/40-pin PICAXE chips and most project boards.
  • Officially supported by PICAXE Programming Editor, Blockly, and Flowchart software.
  • Suitable for both educational and industrial prototyping environments.
  • Plug-and-play with supplied USB drivers; instructions included.

Compatibility & Applications

The AXE007M2 cable is widely used in South African schools, tertiary institutions, and prototyping labs for:

  • Programming PICAXE chips on breadboards and kits (e.g., AXE401, AXE092, AXE110).
  • Interfacing with educational robotics projects and STEM teaching tools.
  • Developing automation, sensor, and IoT proof-of-concepts with ease.
Note: The AXE007M2 cable is the officially recommended model for recent PICAXE boards and chip generations. For legacy RS232 (serial) programming, alternative cables may be required.
