Crocodile Clips Yenka PICs

Program chips by snapping flowchart elements together, and then click on them to edit their properties - like input status and variable values.

To insert a new command, just drop it at the right place; it snaps in automatically, with no need to delete and redraw links.

There are new commands, like 'Set Interrupt', which checks the inputs between each program step until a specified condition is satisfied.

Program real chips

Yenka PICs programs the following real chips directly:
• PICAXEs 08, 08M, 14M, 18, 18A, 18M, 18X, 20M, 28, 28A, 28X, 28X1
• PICs 16F627, 16F628, 16F84, 16F84A and 16F872.

Cyberpet project

With Revolution Education (www.picaxe.com), we converted their Cyberpet Project for use with Yenka. A PICAXE controls an electronic pet with LED 'eyes' and a piezo sounder 'voice', that reacts to touch (via a push switch) and light (via a miniature LDR).

Download the Cyberpet project free of charge.
