PICAXE MicroController - aka LiLo

This little guy is my PICAXE micro controller. Her name is LiLo. As in when it doesnt get programed and doesnt do what i wanted it to do, I say,"Oh, Lilo." She has 8 pins with digital-in's and digital-out's, as well as analog-in's and analog's out's. I used my recently created DB9 to PC connector to help program LiLo. I plan to do great things with LiLo. I expect to integrate her into a side project of mine to create a mini torpedo that will also have a D/C motor, momentary switch, LEDs, and an on and off switch. Further details will follow how well that particular project turns out. In the mean time here is my first trial programming session. I used LiLo to operate three LEDs in a synchronizing fashion. Though it is a picture and not a video, the idea is the the LEDs pass around the signals between one another.
