I was surprised to see that no one posted anything about the daily deal which is the Propeller Backpack. I love small propeller boards and the Propeller backpack is on my list of things to put to work someday.

If anyone has one or is getting one today, how do you plan on using it and do you use it with another Propeller, a Stamp, or standalone?

    I was seriously tempted. It's a cool little package featuring the smt prop, a nice alternative to cutting up protoboards. But in the end too many pins are tied up with the cool a/v functions. I'd rather have seen it selecting functions by jumpers rather than holding pins high, and with more pins available for general purpose I/O.

    Somebody has been watching. They sold 13 so far.

    I was tempted also, but I don't have a project for it yet. I'll think of one an hour after they go back to full price [noparse]:)[/noparse]
