Parallax SBC (Single Board Computer) makes it into Digikey's TechZone Magazine.

On pages 43-44 of my latest smoking hot issue of Digikey's TechZone Magazine, the author of an article on Vishay's smart IR proximity sensor talks about how he used a Parallax SBC (Single Board Computer) to demonstrate the IR sensor.

I know my eyesight isn't so good, but the photo of the "SBC" looks a lot like the Propeller Demo Board.

OK, so maybe they referred to the Prop Demo board as an "SBC" so people would not confuse it with an official Demo board for the Vishay product?

I just feel sorry for anyone reading that article and trying to buy an "SBC" from the Parallax website. Hmmmm, maybe they will find this thread and achieve illumination - or at least something approximating it in the IR part of the spectrum.

Nice to see another article from Tom Cantrell!

I doubt that the reference to the Parallax demoboard was intentional.
But, It really does represent a single board computer.
