10. Advantages of the 4066 vs. the Picaxe No programming needed No programming needed  saves time and effort Cheaper (one 4066 ~ $.50; one picaxe + 4 relay switches ~ $5.00) Cheaper (one 4066 ~ $.50; one picaxe + 4 relay switches ~ $5.00) Uses less space on printed circuit board Uses less space on printed circuit board  help cut cost even more!
