Logic Probe and Picaxe Interfacing/Programming

We finished soldering on our logic probes to be used for identifying circuit logic and stray voltages.



Once the probes were soldered, interconnected wells on the wafer had to be "cut" to match the desired paths for current.


The next stage of our projects would make heavy use of a standard serial COM port to interface our Picaxe microcontrollers with a desktop computer for programming, so one was fashioned.



A detour in exercising transistor control.
