Propeller - 40 pin - pin label

Does anyone know how to obtain/make the "pin-out" label that comes with the PE-Kit for the 40 pin Propeller. I could not find them on the Parallax site and I have not had any luck printing them at the exact size of the chip.
Thanks,
MikeS

    I put this as a suggestion on the new products from Parallax thread, but I think it got buried... You could always take the image and print it onto a name badge. It's certainly not as nice, but with some trimming it could work.

    I took the image you posted and printed it at a 65% reduction and it came out pretty close. You could probably get it closer and print it on an adhesive backing like a 3 x 1 mailing label. An Exacto would finish the job.
    This is a photo of the 65% printout sitting next to another 40 pin DIP. The detail of the iPhone camera is lacking but I can read everything quite well.
    Are you looking for this to do breadboard work or from the underside reversed for wire wrap? (Does anyone do that anymore?)

    Need to make your prop design easier or secure? Get a PropMod has crystal, eeprom, and programing header in a 40 pin dip 0.7" pitch module with uSD reader, and RTC options.

    CannibalRobot,
    Yea, I can print it very close with MSWord but there is a little creeping of the Pin number spacing. It just makes breadboarding a lot easier. I use to wire wrap, but not in a long time.

    I still have a goodly wad of these labels left over from the PropStick Kit. They're made of polyester. If you send me an email (see my profile), I'll reply with an address to send a SASE for five of them. (U.S. addresses only, please.) First-come-first-served until they're gone.

    You can also see this thread - http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=729096 and order one of the old PropStick Kits (which come with the label).

    @ Phil -·I always wanted one so I just ordered a pair.

    Sorry to ask here, but can the Serial PropStick be modified for a PropPlug connection?

    Of course, the best way is to get it from Parallax. However, if you have access to Corel Draw, I used the above "prop-label.jpg" and rezised them. After a few tries, iwas able to make the right size (aligned with each of the pins on both side). AFter that, I duplicated them to fill up 1 sheet of Laser Label (shiny).

    It was nice that these labels are "black and white"...I ketopt my origianl one that came with my PE-kit
