A PICAXE microcontroller has been described as a
‘computer-on-a-chip’ as it has its own memory, it can process
instructions and data, and has input / output functions. |
|
One important feature of the bootstrap programme is that it allows other programmes written by pupils / students to be downloaded directly to the microprocessor. These programmes are stored in ‘non-volatile FLASH memory which means that even if power is removed from the microcontroller the programme is not lost. When power is reconnected the stored programme can be used again. If a new programme is downloaded to the microcontroller the previous programme is overwritten. |
