Hi All! I have learned Spin(and still learning I suppose) and I am starting to need the speed of PASM in some of my projects. Are there any good books or tutorials online that can help me go from zero to hero(so to speak) in PASM programming. This would help greatly, at 16 going from Spin to Asm seems to be a big scary leap :smile:.


Thanks,

Tyler

    I don't know of book for learning PASM.

    I learned a lot from JonnyMac's SpinZone articles. (See post #3 of my index for link.)

    I believe PotatoHead has a tutorial (I didn't know about this one when I was learning PASM so I haven't read it). There's also a tutorial written by deSilva that was way over my head the first couple of times I read it.

    It's also good to read forum post about the different PASM commands. There is a thread that pops up every so often about a possible PASM book (I don't have a link to it). The thread has a lot of good PASM instruction in it.

    The link below is the best source I have found for PASM...

    My May 2012 column is tentatively titled: "Some Assembly Required." It's going to be a "do over" tutorial for getting started in PASM. The methodology used will allow PASM code to work with Spin and PropGCC (note, however, the article is _not_ a tutorial on connecting PASM to PropGCC -- that will come later).

    IIRC de silva did a tutorial on the wiki. I also thought that there may be a tutorial in the Hydra section. Try the stickies at the top of this forum.

    Thanks for all of the responses. I'll look into those places suggested. I think a propeller education labs book,but in PASM would be awesome for beginners in PASM.

    Thanks,

    Best two references for me after the prop manual: de Silva's tutorial and the potatohead papers. Google these with parallax propeller. Be warned at first (like most things) rust sets in fast with dis-us.

    There was a longer running thread called pasm for the beginner. Apply heavy filtering to the thread, discard much of the tailings and you can gain real value courtesy of the kuroneko's, jazzed, jonnymac, and a host of other heavy hitters on this forum. They are the ones I would like to see collaborate on a good tutorial. The prop manual is a bit better than fair if you can understand that type of writing and experiment to remove ambiguities therein, but a good tutorial based on experience and explained in light of best practice and why it is done a given way would be a wonder indeed.
