AXE401 28X2 Shield Base - What happened to PICAXE Pin 7 (A.4)

[dandlion]

This may be a dumb question - but - I've studied the pin-out diagram very carefully and I can't find a Shield Header pin for the 28X2 hardware pin 7 (or Pin A.4). Where did it go? (The one labled "TXD" on the chip diagram).

This pin is in the 3.5mm programming jack socket on the base, it is not one of the pins that go up to the shield.

OK. Thanks. Too bad - I was needing another pin.

You can still use the pin. It's just that it won't appear in the shield's bus connectors, if you should want add a simple plug-in shield.
