Hey all,

Thanks to Servo Magazine for giving us their approval to post this article for your download. Thank you to Gordon for writing the article. The article provides an advance look at the forthcoming Propeller BOE from Parallax, the flagship of our future educational program and PropBot. At first release the Propeller BOE will have a Spin-based educational program which has been in development for most of the year. And next it will have support from the full PropGCC compiler with libraries with a front-end GUI tailored for educational uses.

    You're welcome, Ken. I'll see if I can get my wife to run off a scan in color. I'm sure Robin and Larry won't mind, and it's so much better in color.

    Not indicated in the article text (don't know why) is the location of the download zip you'll need for the examples. It's here:

    http://servomagazine.com/images/uploads/BegBog5.zip

    It includes a number or new libraries by that Lindsay fella you sometimes see around here. They were snagged a couple of months ago, and newer versions may be available when the PropBOE is officially released.

    Not that it matters, but as you go through the files you'll see that my personal habit is to show the top-level SPIN file with a starting bang (e.g. !StartingBang.spin). That way they also all show at the top of the file listing. Maybe no one else likes it that way, but it's the way I roll.

    Gordon +1 for the article, I read it this past weekend in Servo. Also, +1 for the starting bang idea for top level spin files in zips. Excellent idea and I will steal it for use this evening.......

    Thanks Gordon and Ken.

    I let my Servo subscription lapse a few months ago, but there is too much I am missing.

    Renewal in!
