I ordered lots of stuff

(The 08 will not be able to handle it)

This is an example where this was the most I could force into one, and I had to really twist the code, count bytes used for different ways of doing the same thing, here is a 08 filled up, just to give you an idea:

---

high 0,1,2,4
main:
serin 3, T2400, b0
select case b0
case "B"
let pins = %00010010
case "C"
let pins = %00010000
case "A"
let pins = %00000010
case "F"
let pins = %00010001
case "D"
let pins = %00000110
case "H"
let pins = %00000101
case "G"
let pins = %00000100
case "I"
let pins = %00000001
else 'Case "S" for "Stop"
let pins = %00000000
endselect
goto main
' There you go - total drive-control in every way from serial input..in 104 bytes out of 128 possible with Picaxe8.. 24 bytes left ;)

However - the really cool part about it, what makes up for the lack of memory, is that it still has got a huge library to draw on; Complete instruction-set - so you can use it to.. say.. read temperature, control servo, convert i2c to serial, count.. anything (one thing at a time) - all in same little next-to-free chip, that needs next to nothing apart from some volts to be programmed and run. So you can custom the little chip to do something that normally would take a circuit, take it out, make another, place some in your circuit..

 

But "a complete robot", boy, you will hate the lack of memory.

 (Still - cannot help but to love that little board where you get a motorcontroller and a 08, and one digital input - there IS something fascinating about it)
