I know the PICAXE uses a bootstrap program to load programs from the program editor but I am unclear as to what happens next.
Does the program editor generate assembler instructions that are directly executed by the PIC or is the code in some other format where each instruction gets interpretted before being executed (e.g. the Basic Stamp "token" scenario)?
Does the bootstrap program basically just save the code in memory and then monitor the serin pin for attempts to load a new program?
Thanks,
Ron
