Hello - new propeller addict on board

Hello,

Just a quick message to present myself, not that I think that's interesting, just because I may bother you now so better to be prepared [noparse]:)[/noparse].
So I come from the demoscene, usually coding on Atari ST or console (PSP, PS2...) and willing to go deeper...
Last year I discovered Craft from Linus, I felt in love and I planned to build my own ATMega board... then on linus page I saw the link to the propeller, read a little and WOW I saw the demoboard (which solves all my issues based on "electronics is like black wizardry for me").

So I bought it, received it yesterday (thanks Tony/Spinvent) and ready to go !

I hope you'll excuse all my dumb questions.... and that we have plenty of stuff to share !
Thanks in advance,

Shazz/TRSi

    Welcome Shazz, A dumb question is simply a question that others are afraid to ask. Hence the saying that there are no dumb questions. So ask way. As for being an addict. I had to cut up my credit card just to keep my addiction under control. hehe

    I just went for about two weeks without enough time to read the forum, let alone get anything done on my projects-->I am one irritable SOB.

    On the other hand, I am beginning to wonder if it is actually an addiction. For example, if I hold my breath for 2 minutes... am I uncomfortable because I am addicted to air or is it just because air is something that I really need?

    Welcome!

    The prop is easy electronics wise. If you want, you can be building your own boards and output circuits in no time.

    And it's a new scene! Lots to do, and the chip is still largely unexploited, IMHO!
