Ladder logic compiler for Propeller @ UPEC

Hi all,
While at UPEC last year, I remember seeing someone (an exhibitor) programming a propeller using ladder logic. It had to be some sort of compiler because the programming was done on a PC.

Does anyone else recall seeing that or know what the software is or if it is available?

    Chris,
    I don't know any ladder logic compiler for the Propeller it self. What you may have saw, is a company called Comfile Technology and they make an chip that is able to run PBasic and Latter at the same time. Both, PBasic and Latter logic processors runs at the same time. The compiler, that they have compiles both.

    Hopes this answers your questions.

    Bsnut,

    Yeah, I know about the comfile product and what I saw didn't look like that.

    If my memory serves me correctly, the vendor that had the ladder logic compiler was selling clear plastic enclosures for propeller boards at UPEC. Furthermore, I think his table was right in front of parallax's table. However, my memory seems to make things up sometimes so I can't really trust it much anymore ;-)

    Hi Chris,

    I remember seeing a post about that... take a look at : http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?121404-PICoPLC-Free-DIY-PLC-with-Propeller
    The guy adapted a great open source PLC software made for AVRs to be functionnal on the propeller.

    Thanks! That looks like the thing I was looking for.

    Now I see what you were looking for and it is cool and I have already downloaded both programs. As a control electrican that has been working with Allen Brandley for years, this puts some spin on ladder logic.

    I've downloaded the flowprog.jar file, but I'm at a loss. Is anyone capable of posting a compiled version of this program? Or am I missing something. Granted, I'm not very fimiliar with Java.

    Me too! I have downloaded the Flowprog.jar.zip file to my desktop, and then I extract it to the desktop (using 7-zip) to Flowprog.jar. From there, I don't know how to "Run" the program. The folder itself has the JAR extension in it, but it is a folder, not a file, so JRE doesn't recognize it.

    This works for me...
    C:\>cd \java_apps\flowprog.jar

C:\java_apps\flowprog.jar> start /min java -jar flowprog.jar

C:\java_apps\flowprog.jar>

    Hi,
    See : http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?121404-PICoPLC-Free-DIY-PLC-with-Propeller

    It's a free software written in MS VC++, all the sources are free, and Attila and I (both on his own side) have implemented a SPIN version in this tool.
    I can share my version if anyone interested (exe file)
    My version is not yet completely done, but can generate a SPIN file, or can download directly to the Propeller, using propellent.dll.
    More ehancements are possible, the trick is just to have ................... T I M E !!!!

    Best regards
