The
Propellor is an amazing microcontroller. It's either a
super-microcontroller, or baby-dual-quadcore computer (hey, it's got 8
cogs!). It's a seriously powerful unit, and to learn how to use it to
the best way, you should start with a Propellor Educational
Kit, featuring the USB Propstick. A
complete kit with everything you’ll need to get started with the 8-cog
multi-processing Propeller microcontroller and PE Labs, except a 9V
battery.
With its 8 parallel-processsing cogs, the Propeller chip’s
unique
design makes a variety of otherwise difficult microcontroller
applications relatively simple. This kit features the PropStick USB,
with built-in Propeller chip, EEPROM, regulator, crystal and
programming connections so your project can get up and running with
minimal wiring time. The
Propeller Education Kit – 40-Pin DIP Version
is also available.

Kit
Contents:
- Propeller
Education Kit Labs:
Fundamentals Book - A comprehensive series of labs covering Setup and
Testing, I/O and Timing, Methods and Cogs, Objects, and Counter Modules
and Circuit Applications
- The PropStick USB
– a Propeller microcontroller module with EEPROM program memory,
voltage regulator, oscillator and socket, reset button, and USB mini B
connector for programming and bidirectional PropStick USB to PC
communication. All the components you need on one handy
module. Just
connect power and the programming cable, and it’s ready to go.
- USB A to Mini B serial cable -
Connects your PropStick USB to your PC for programming and
bidirectional communication.
- PE Kit Project Parts
- All the parts you’ll need to work through the Startup and
Fundamentals labs in the Propeller Education series, chosen with
students’ needs and budget in mind. Selected to demonstrate Propeller
circuit design and programming concepts, it provides a solid components
foundation as well as a launch pad to more advanced topics and
specialized kits.
- Interconnecting Breadboards
- 3 breadboards and 4 power rails interconnect and provide plenty of
space to build the PE Platform and projects. Featuring extra sockets
right where you need them, these quality boards make it easy to keep
both simple and complex circuits well organized. With the Propeller and
system electronics in the middle of the PE Platform, project circuits
can fan out from I/O pins to breadboards on either side and terminate
at the outer power rails. No more circuit spaghetti!
- Plastic Storage Box
- with adjustable compartments for your PE Platform project, parts, and
room for a few extra tools as well. Great for organization, storage, or
even transport in a backpack.
