One of the PicAxe boys is using a Parallax line follower kit. Nice to see some cross-pollination.

Props to you for that clever title.

[edit]...and no, that expression does not mean I'll be sending you P8X32A chips.

Fine business, uC. You know me, I'll settle for a bunch of Stamps.

GordonMcComb · 2012-03-30 13:57

More cross-pollinating, this time with an Arduino (Erco, please think up a clever combo name)

and using the very fine product facing UP, acting an air piano. The magic of modulated light sensors.

When I first saw this thread title I thought it was going to be about Jen J.!! (joking Jen!)

There is only one Parall-Axe worth any salt.

Of course I do, that's the problem. You've been on this forum for years, have over 5,000 posts, and you still refuse to upgrade to the Propeller. I'm afraid you may have a case of Neophobia, or you are stubbornly holding out until the Prop 2 is released.
Or, knowing you, you're waiting until they make a Propeller chip out of plywood.

That was my first thought as well.

I thought Jen J had upgraded to like a chainsaw or flamethrower or Gatling paintball gun or something.

No, no, Erco is holding out for someone in China to offer Propeller chips for $0.49 each on eBay.

There's also a ColorPal alliance!

The "ColourPal" must be a different product.

If seen as cooperative collaboration, perhaps that could be conveyed by calling it the Parduino Project. (apologies to erco for jumping the fun.... Uh, gun)

ColorPal works ok, but ColourPal is our Favourite (your Honour)

Next you'll be telling us its "eye-tunes", rather than "it-tunes"

Cross-pollenation and silicon is trumped by pollenation & carbon every time. Beautiful TED video.
