Hi:
I have got the Propeller Accessories Kit just recently. But I am having a little trouble. There is lots of coding for them but what about the connections? For instance the Display what do I plug it into? Please upload code and/or connections!
Thanks!

    I don't know if you already have the demo board, but I actually bought the education kit so it didn't have all the connectors. I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not, but take a look...

    Also, Click the documentation radio button on the top of each file you have open, if it came from the object exchange it should have a schematic right on the top of the file.

    Hope this is of some help...

    The Propeller Accessories Kit was designed with the the Propeller Demo Board in mind. The Demo Board has all the inputs for these items.

    I don't see the connections for the LCD. Am I just missing them?

    Could you please send me a line of code that shows me how to use them? I am used to BASIC and lines like PULSIN and SERIN but what do I use in Propeller?

    The Propeller demo board is set up to output to a VGA monitor (15 Pin connector)··or Composite RCA Connector) (TV) signal.·The LCD should plug into the RCA Jack.

    So I plug the LCD into the converter and then plug the yellow plug into the RCA Jack?
