Hey guys i just joined this forum. I am very new to these stamps and writing code but in one of my engineering design classes i made an ok real time fuel injection system using the basic stamp and i had loads of fun! However i noticed the basic stamp had a few drawbacks like only performing 1 function at a time. Im really wanting to play with these stamps to make all kinds of nonsense from small EFI systems to little robots and what not and i want a board that has all i need so i dont need to buy different boards. This is where my problem is, the propeller seems to do everything i need but im not entirely sure so im looking for some help haha. Also is the code for the propeller similar to the basic stamp? Anything you guys can lend to me would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

The Propeller can be programmed in many different languages but Spin and PASM are the what you might call the "native" languages.

There is a lot of info available here http://www.parallax.com/tabid/407/Default.aspx

Hi Jake, welcome to the forums! I'm glad that you enjoyed you experience with the BS2. Take a look around the Parallax website: they have lots of tutorials on the Propeller, so you can determine for yourself if it's right for you.

Jake: Welcome to this fabulous forum.

Yes, you will find the prop very versatile. The prop is particularly useful because each cog can run a separate program without interfering with others. There are lots of objects that perform various functions.

Spin is easy to use, and the OBEX is hard to beat for getting something up and running fast.

Have a look at the Propeller Professional Development Board if you only want one board that has it all.
