What is happening at the Expo?

Timothy D. Swieter

I am so sorry to be missing the Expo at Parallax. I also slept in and missed the Webinar.....so, can some of the folks at the expo gives us a run down of what they are seeing and hearing? How about some pictures?

There are some pictures on the Expo thread.

Attendance is really high! Lots of people here, vendors and presentations.

@Timothy I watched most of the Webinar. Lots of technical info regarding the proposed Prop II.
Almost all of it was eight feet over my head. I'm sure (based on past Webinars) they will edit it down and post it for all to see.

Wish I were there!

Any news on...
Prop I - 64 I/O likely ???
External RAM
Overclocking

Thanks. I am really interested in Prop II but it is too far away.

Listen to the Webinar when it gets posted.

64 I/O Prop I: Not likely. The cost to actually produce it is fairly high. Spending the money would impact things like the Prop II and Chip is not convinced that it would sell well enough (even over the product lifetime) to justify spending the money when the Prop II will provide the 64 I/O pins and a lot more. I'm sure if someone would make a compelling case (with hard sales commitment attached) he would be willing to finish it, but hobbyist volumes and just wanting it isn't enough with the Prop II under development.

External RAM: He talked a little about that with regards to the Prop II. He may add some extra features / instructions to help.

Overclocking: He discussed for a while. I didn't hear anything new. It all depends on operating temperature and supply voltage. The worst case instructions are probably ADD and SUB because of the long carry propagation time.

Thanks Mike. I have already guessed that PropII will have extra features for external ram.

Hi Mike Green.

But if them improve chip to can be placed (with other improvements) on 32/64 and have same chip to both.
That cost in not so big. And have more Industrial use

We had some presenters. From memory, it was Attopilot, the New Zealand boat guy (with SPIN), Nick from Gadget Gangster, OBC about the remote compiler that he's working on, mpark about Sphinx, and Chip about vocal generation.

It's been really quite enjoyable.
