Propeller Activity Board
Harnessing the power of the 8-core Propeller microcontroller is now easier than ever before. The built-in Propeller P8X32A programming system is pre-wired to the most popular peripherals, making experimenting fast and fun.
Supported by the Propeller C Learning System that includes a programming tool and a suite of tutorials featuring simple circuits and libraries with code samples for core devices and sensors, multicore programming has never been simpler.
Key Features:
