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 40-pin DIP Propeller IC 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 breadboard-friendly versions of
the Propeller chip, EEPROM and other core components making it easy and
inexpensive for students to experiment while being able replace parts
as needed. The
Propeller Education Kit - Propstick USB 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 Propeller DIP Plus Kit
- A Propeller 40-pin DIP microcontroller “plus” all the electronic
components and connectors for a fully functional system on a breadboard.
- Prop Plug
- A USB to serial programming and communication tool. In addition to
quick Propeller program downloads, it supports bidirectional
Propeller-PC communication at up to 3 Mbps.
- 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.
