I'm trying to convince a friend that the Propeller is amazing and NOT to start with the arduino. you see he likes C and wants to keep learning it (we r 14) i'm telling him to get that IDE that comes with a demo board or try Catina. BUT mainly i want to see if anyone has that diagram of all the prop's cores with the boxes for each and showing the video generation in each core and so on. thanks guys!

    I suspect this is what you are really looking for. IIRC there is a link on the home page to the prop details. Also it is available from PropTool help (it was downloaded with it)

    *ahem* I did link to that diagram in my post above, it's even in color! The original was too large to display inline and I was too lazy to take a screenshot. :smilewinkgrin:

    Here's a couple more images...

    Apologies Rich. I thought the link was just the same photo. I have not seen the color version of the cogs before - nice.

    It's funny you say 'color' version as though it has been colorized... lol ... the 'color' version is the actual view. The image on the left of the dual image is the 'flat' view taken from the layout editor. Using a 350nm process, you are in the realm of creating refraction interference patterns with any light that hits the surface of the IC. This in turn causes the rainbow effect ... CD's and DVD's show similar characteristics.

    Figure 6 in the Propeller Datasheet has a functional diagram of the video generator.

    The power of the Propeller is having eight 32bit cores and 32 non-dedicated I/O lines. The downside is only 2K of RAM per core plus 32K of shared RAM and no onboard A/D, D/A, or I/O hardware (although most can be done a dedicated core with the right software).

    IMHO the real fun of the Prop is programming in PASM.
