Description

The Pixter X Platform Module lets you use a PICaxe 40x2 with other Platform modules.

Stats:
* PICaxe 40x2 running at 32Mhz
* 64kb EEPROM
* 5V and 3.3V 1.5A Voltage Regulators accept 5.5v min. power input,
* A barrel jack and terminal block power connector,
* 2.8" x 2.5" footprint with pin sockets to add additional Platform modules.

Note: The PICaxe 40x2 uses 5v logic levels. Check here for PICaxe compatible Platform Modules. Also, modules will not generate video output when used with the Pixter X Platform Module.

What is the Gadget Gangster Platform?
The Gadget Gangster Platform is a lot like the Arduino with a few improvements on the basic idea;

1 - Modules (a.k.a. shields) can be connected to each other on top and bottom.

2 - Pin spacing is .1". This makes the Platform compatible with breadboards, and it lets you use Platform Modules in combination with other project boards.

3 - The board footprint is 2.5" tall, which is the same footprint as ExpressPCB's MiniBoard service, so adding your own custom module is inexpensive and straightforward.

4 - Platform Modules are licensed under the MIT license (essentially public domain), giving you more flexibility than more restrictive licenses like Creative Commons Share-alike.

Make It!

The Pixter X Platform comes pre-assembled. You'll also need a 5.5v-12v power adapter (or other power supply) and a PICaxe programming cable.
