Hi everyone! Iam a Propeller Beginner. I have a Propeller Professional Development Board and I would like to start doing some fun and interesting example and projects. Where should I begin from? Very appreciated your input!! Thanks

Open up the Propeller Tool and select Help-Propeller Education Kit.

As John suggests, the Propeller Education Kit documentation is a great way to start. You can look through all the things to read by going to the link below:

Hi thangngoc,

and welcome to the forum.
For the real cool things like a grahpics demo you need some experience how to connect the PPDB-prop-IO-pins to the RCA-jack or VGA-jack.

To get this experience I recommend that you start on page 35 of the PE-Kit-Labs

best regards

I want to try the graphic_demo on my PPDB through the VGA port. How should be the pins connected?Thanks

Mike Green

Most of the VGA demo programs expect the VGA port to be connected to I/O pins 16-23. That would be the easiest way to connect the PPDB VGA port to the Propeller. If you look at the schematic for the PPDB from Parallax's Propeller Download webpage and compare the resistor values to the schematic for the DemoBoard, you'll see the correct way to connect them. I believe pin 16 goes to the 240 Ohm resistor for the vertical sync pulse. Pin 17 goes to the 240 Ohm resistor for the horizontal sync pulse, etc.
