    THAT is surely worth a thousand words, Rich!

    A servo cable? Great Thanks, is that from the two hole 5V socket or from a P port made output? since Im guessing the 3 pin clip is to go into the bread board.


    Thank you again tho..

    Just connect the cable from one of the output pins (you have three banks of them) and plug the other in into the breadboard via the three pin header. You'll get gnd, 5v, and and I/O.

    The Stingray robot (which has the MSR1 and a breadboard) comes with a pack of these: http://www.parallax.com/Store/Components/WireConnection/tabid/151/CategoryID/29/List/0/SortField/0/catpageindex/2/Level/a/ProductID/403/Default.aspx
    I've used 2 of them to connect power and ground to the breadboard, and several others to connect prop pins up. If you want to connect 3.3v to the breakboard then you'll need a female to female jumper cable (like standard breadboard wires).

    Thank you that's brilliant, I connected the bread board and have ping working but that was just a test for me as I had that mounted on a rotating servo before. What I really wanted to incorporate the bread board for was to add IR detection to the bot using the components I had from the BOE bot kit, Im confident I can do this but I don't know how as my electronics skills are below par.

    You should probably work through the Propeller Education (PE) labs book. It's oriented towards new designers, and the PDF is free from the Parallax website.

    I think your right and honestly I wish Id bought that instead of the MSR1. I chose to buy the BOE-Bot for that very reason (the masses of material) and as I look for help and examples for the propeller they were all PE Kit orientated (and a few proto type). I might end up having to buy the PE Kit and go back a few steps.
