Microzed's History

We're often asked about the name Microzed?

Well, way back when, Microzed was actually started by Mr Bob Nicol. back then the business was primarily based around supporting hobbyists using the Australian designed MicroBee computer and the BASIC STAMP microcontroller.

Bob named the company Microzed because it is alphabet opposite to MicroBee - perhaps he should have called us MicroY - but we never got a chance to ask him that as he sadly passed away.

With Bob's passing we saw a transition with MicroZed to it being run by David Lincoln who had been quite active in the PICAXE arena writing his book "Programming and customizing the PICAXE microcontroller". David and Bob had and would often cross paths so it seemed like a logical transition.

Today Microzed is owned and operated by David and is primarily focused in the PICAXE space but there are longer terms plan to widen our product line - stay tuned!
