It's time to create the Official C3 Owner Club. :)
When we all start playing with those advanced little features, wouldn't it be fun to know how many can share in your posted code fun?

So when you've got one in your grubby little hands POST UP.

Too bad they don't have serial numbers on them somewhere..
(Or am I wrong?)

So I'll kick this off..

Oldbitcollector :*: C3 in Orrville, OH

    Mine is on the way from the USA... hurray.
    The first C3 in Gothenburg Sweden.

    I can't wait to begin "porting" my latest project to the C3..... OBC ;)

    There are a couple living with me in Hollywood, the three of us looking to have fun in the movie business.

    I have a prototype neatly assembled by Andre. I've been too busy to play with it since just before Christmas, but a modified Sphinx seems to run on it. I get occasional problems with using both the flash and the microSD card that I think is due to the microSD card not letting go of the SPI bus, but I'm not sure and I haven't tested the SRAM and ADC drivers very well yet. The Sphinx files are / will be on the C3 FTP server.

    Well, everyone tell 2 friends to buy one, and them tell 2 friends, and in 10 iterations we will have 1000 out there :) I of course, have unit #1 of everything I make in a box here, maybe 50 years from now, they might be worth something :)

    No Andre, they won't be valuable until the day after you throw them out. I already found that out with Motorola kits, etc :(

    This is a great thread for the owners and visitors (like me) alike. The pcb design looks great, and an excellent price too. I am extremely interested to see what you guys (and gals) do with the C3.

    I have a hand built prototype C3 from Andre, mine I think is number 3 (Andre having #1, and Remi with #2). I am in Des Moines Iowa.

    One thing that I would like people to check out is the bootloader I have made. It is under the games section on the FTP site, but it is a little different than the other bootloaders for the Propeller because it supports description files. Check it out at:
    ftp://ftp.propeller-chip.com/PropC3/Games/Jay_T_Cook/jtc_c3_bootloader_v002.zip

    There is also a cache of files and descriptions for the bootloader at:
    ftp://ftp.propeller-chip.com/PropC3/Games/Jay_T_Cook/C3_sd_files/

    Lastly if you want the boot loader to automatically boot a program on startup, just name it boot.bin.

    Got my copy last week. I have plans for 2 adapter cards. I've been testing ZOG with dbetz.

    I'm working on a solution that will let SPIN/PASM programmers use the SPI RAM or other types of RAM. PASM runs at normal speed; for SDRAM the solution is about 1/3rd of SPIN speed for some operations. C3 SPI RAM performance is TBD but is expected to be not unreasonable.

    If have one in New Orleans. So far the only thing I've done with it is add a serial port, but I considered that kind of important for potential future uses.

    I'm in Sacramento, so go to meetups. I have a C3 and it's going to be used as the main part of a telemetry (data aquisition) for our Bonneville Land Speed machine. So far I have wheel speeds, RPM and using the 2 A/D channels for a couple of pressure measurements.
    Plans are to use the new GPS unit for another speed measurement as well as time, then add some more A/D channels. Storage will be on 2GB SDcard.

    I have one in New Jersey - currently running Propforth and equipped with a daughter board designed to interface with Digilent modules.
