The Picaxe Programming book

I saw this and was wondering if anybody in the USA sold this book

http://194.201.138.187/epages/Store.storefront/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Store....

Appently they don't ship this to the US, because it's too big/heavy.

Would like to get my hands on it.

Questions about Sparkfun shipping

Nicola's picture

Hello, i'd like to buy some stuff from sparkfun.. The question is: do they ship to Italy? I searched the site but they don't tell which countries are supported and which not. Also, what shipping method should i use? There's a cheap $20 or such but i guess it's only for US (right?) or a quite expensive (about $60) fedex shipping.

Also, how does the prices get converted to euro? Are there some extra costs?

Buying from the US

Drixx's picture

Hi!

I've found  a bunch of nice electronics at MaximumRobotics that I want to order. But i'm a little conserned about how much extra I'll have to pay in taxes, customs etc.

Do any of you guys have experience buying things in USA and get it shipped to a EU country?

I live in Denmark and is not familiar with how the danish customs operates.

Need a 10-pin Header

Scheda's picture

Does anyone know where I could find a 10-pin header as shown in the "Start Here" tutorial?

AXE030.jpg The pins on the right is what I need. I opted to just buy 330 ohm resistors instead of buying the servo upgrade for the Picaxe, and I'm unable to find the pins, which I'm gathering are called "headers". If I'm wront (which is likely) help me out with what they are called please.

Thanks!
