New member needs a bit of direction...

Hi everyone,

I just got my Propeller demo kit and hope to start experiementing in the next few days.· The one aspect I will need to learn about is assembly language programming and am having a bit of trouble locating information or tutorials on this.· Can anyone offer me some links to information that could get me going?

I am a fairly well versed programmer using Basic (BASCOM on Atmel micros and VB6 on a number of applications for Windows).· I have never worked with assembly language so this will be my first run at it.·

Anyway, thanks in advance and I am looking forward to exploring what this neat microcontroller can do!

There are some tutorials that are "sticky" forum threads that stay at the top of the forum thread list. Have a look at them.

Hey Chris,

Checkout the sticky thread " Propeller Programming Tutorials, Object Exchange, Tricks and Traps stickies". This contains asm examples for beginners as well as desilva's machine language tutorial. These are both pretty good resources that got me started.

Chris,
welcome to the forum - you'll find over time that the forums are probably the best feature of the Parallax product line. There are a bunch of fantastic resources for assembly but I'd suggest that you look closely at the architecture of the chip and get your head around the idea of a stackless processor and shared RAM that's really more like an I/O device.
It helped me allot to be fairly well grounded in Spin.
Good luck!

There is a PASM quick reference sheet compiled by Ed Parsons. You can download a copy from my website - ucontroller.com/index_tut.html

desilva's assembly tutorial is also hosted there

Thanks very much guys.

I am reading through some of the tutorials and while frightening at the moment, I am excited to dig into this.· Thanks much for links to some really good information.·

Once I get in to it really deep (usually waiting till I am drowning) I will be pestering everyone here for advice and guidence.·
