Logicator for PIC and PICAXE 3 Build 7.0

Graphical flowchart-based software for quick and easy programming of low-cost PICAXE chips

Anyone interested in learning how to write all sorts of programs for controlling PICAXE chips and the devices they are integrated in, a utility like Logicator for PIC and PICAXE could be the right choice.

This application has a plain and simple interface that provides quick access to all the functions and allows users to put together flowsheets in no time. Much like a visual programming environment, Logicator for PIC and PICAXE relies on adding components and creating connections using a set of tools that seem better suited for drawing.

Writing code is not necessary when using this program, as all the elements that can be integrated in the project are available from the 'Command List'. This area includes several categories of items, like variables, procedures, sound output, serial and other in/out.

The editing options consist of a couple of row and column commands, besides the usual actions that can be found inside any editor. There are many panels that can be made visible from the dedicated menu, while the simulation functions are well represented also.

A neat thing about Logicator for PIC and PICAXE is the fact that it comes equipped with many examples, so anyone can load a sample program to see who it works and use it as a starting point for another project.
