Hi All,
The Propeller Demo Board comes preloaded with a nice demo program.
I wonder where I can download it form???
I have a need to show off the Propeller to someone and I think this is a
GREAT program to show off the abilities.....unfortunately I have overwritten
the EEPROM with another program.
Can anyone point me to where I can download the original program???
Thanks for the help

The preloaded demo does the following
·· -Uses the Mouse
·· -Outputs simultaneously to a TV and VGA
·· -Does a nice Bar flashing with the LEDs going up and down for a while
·· -It also (I think) uses the Keyboard
·· -It uses the Mic to input sound and outputs it to the Headphones.
So you see this demo illustrates ALL the peripherals on the Demo Board and
shows off a very nice Graphics and impressive sound abilities along with the
keyboard and mouse......it is a GREAT Demo......it will take a lot to write it
myself and I REALLY would like to have it to show off to a group of people the
Propeller's abilities in such a SMALL package as the Demo board.

I have the source and have posted it to the forum a number of times. I'm pretty sure I got it from here originally actually. Do a search and it will turn up.

Thanks a lot....the program you posted is ALMOST it....it will do if I cannot find the original-original.
The one you posted does everything EXCEPT for blinking the LEDS up and down a few times.
BUT....the rest is all there ....so it will be quite fine.... I will try to find the other one too.
It is a GREAT DEMO you have programmed!!
THANKS A LOT.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't write it, modify it or contribute to it in any way. Sometime in '06 Parallax posted the demo code somewhere and I just happened to have it on my machine. I never noticed the led sequencing bit was not there in that version of the demo. All my demo boards have the program as supplied so they all do it.

I think this is what you are looking for. I had the same question and a Parallax
Tech Support person sent it to me. He told my that this program is used
at Final Test and it is left on the boards when they ship.

p.s. Just checked and found out that this is the same one mentioned by Brad

Thanks...as you have noticed it does not do the LED ramping....but that is fine.
If I never find the one that also does that, I can always add it.
The demo is GREAT even without the LED ramping. It is nice to have it though.
By the way I TRIED to search the forum for it....I get either no hits or way too
many hits for the search words. So it will take me a while to search since the
search function is not very good.
If someone at Parallax can please put it as an object on the OBEX it would be great.
Cheers and Thanks
