Design Automation
The PropStick USB is a development tool for Parallax’s Propeller chip which provides access to all 32 I/O pins on a 0,1” pin spacing format. It features a built-in P8X32A-M44 Propeller chip, 32 KB EEPROM, 3,3 V regulator, FTDI mini USB interface, and a reset button.
A 5 MHz crystal is housed in a socket, enabling replacement by the user. This module is intended to be used in a breadboard or other through-hole design, and can be used in conjunction with circuits and example code in Parallax’s Propeller Education Labs.
The P8X32A-M44 is a multiprocessing chip, with shared memory and a built-in interpreter for programming in a high-level object-oriented language, called Spin, and low-level (assembly) language. Also available is a set of pre-built Parallax 'objects' for video, mice, keyboards, NTSC/VGA displays, LCDs, stepper motors and sensors.
