RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] PIC stepper controller for drilling station

2005-06-19 by Tony Smith

Probably the only US source is Peter Anderson - http://www.phanderson.com/.
He's on a few Yahoo groups. There's a Yahoo group for the PicAxe, btw.

Unfortunately for you, he's just closed up shop for a while, his website
says he'll be back mid-August.

Apparently shipping from the UK is horrendous, so I'd wait if I were you.

  Is there a source for the PICAXE here in the states?
  I have done some searching but have only found in it
  GB and AU.
