With a MicroMite this makes up the video part of a whole system.
But with a PicAxe ? Seems it would need the editor program ?

Well it is just a serial port and the pic32 is a vt100 terminal.
So start sending some VT100 codes with the picaxe. :)

Good grief, this is like a cryptic crossword. I "put that illustration together" and I have no idea of what you are talking about.

To use the VT100 terminal as a VGA or composite display device for the PICAXE or any other micro-controller by way of a serial port.

ANY micro-controller can talk to the VT100 unit, not just the Micromite, if that is what you were perhaps thinking.

And no - you CANNOT use the VT100 unit to edit or program the PICAXE. You must use the free Programming Editor or AXEpad software for that. The reason for this, is that the MicroMite has the editor "Built-in" to it's firmware, whereas the PICAXE does not have any kind of editor on-chip, which is why you have to use the programmer for those chips.

Having said that, you can program the PICAXE to send the expected VT100 codes at the correct baud-rate and you will get the same output on the screen - this is EXACTLY how I produced the static message screen in the other thread about my loving the big text modes on the VT100. I was using a PICAXE to send the codes to the VT100.
