Beta test release - Windows Linux Mac
Revolution Education are pleased to announce the release of the free PICAXE compilers for Windows, Linux and Mac. The compilers take a BASIC program (saved as a text file), compile it, and then download it into the PICAXE chip via either an AXE026 serial or an AXE027 USB cable.
We are currently at open beta testing stage and would like feedback on how the compilers operate, particularly on a variety of Linux distributions.
Why release compilers?
We are often asked by people how they can
More preliminary detailed information about use of the compilers is available at:

Current Testing Status:
Windows - open beta test
Linux - open beta test
Mac - open beta test
Windows CE - under development
iPhone / iPod Touch - under development
Beta testing program:
To take part in the open beta testing program you will require:
Thanks for your interest and enjoy!

Why release compilers?
We are often asked by people how they can
- integrate PICAXE downloads into their own software application
- use their ‘favourite’ text editor and then download the PICAXE program
- use platforms (e.g. Mac) not currently supported by the main PICAXE software
More preliminary detailed information about use of the compilers is available at:
www.rev-ed.co.uk/docs/beta_compiler.pdf
Current Testing Status:
Windows - open beta test
Linux - open beta test
Mac - open beta test
Windows CE - under development
iPhone / iPod Touch - under development
Beta testing program:
To take part in the open beta testing program you will require:
- A computer running Windows or Linux or Mac OSX Intel
- A PICAXE chip on a project board
- An AXE027 USB or AXE026 serial cable
- A basic prior understanding of command line (console) programs
