Everything you need to get started with 14-pin PICAXE controllers.
Note: This kit does NOT include a programming cable. The list of contents in the kit says it does, but it really does not. Please choose your PICAXE programming cable below.
Note: This kit no longer includes the CD as shown in the pictures.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Rookie - The number of pins increases, and you will have to determine polarity of components and some of the components might be a bit trickier or close together. You might need solder wick or flux.

If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

Does the pack include the M2 version of the PICAXE?
whats the second IC included?
nevermind
what is the transistor array for?
Driving things which the PICAXE can't drive directly: stepper motors, solenoids, photon torpedo launchers, what-have-you.
I think those require something along the lines of a giant relay
It would be really really really really great if we could just buy the project board (PCB board) alone. I like using the 8M project board since it's so cheap ($3) and I'd like to move up to the 14M but the project board is only available in this $15 kit... :(
