Hi everyone,
I'm a long-time user of the arduino platform, but I was recently reading up on the PICAXE and was considering picking one up. The pros for the PICAXE are ease and speed of prototyping, however I am a little concerned about a few points:
1. the lack of floating point maths- I find myself using this stuff for some of my arduino projects
2. the limited memory for variables- is it really as limiting as it sounds or am I just overestimating the need for variable space?
So, give me a reason to take the plunge! If anyone experienced with both platforms or with the points above could give a little insight, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
