Diptrace schematic for basic Prop setup - all through hole components

I hope the title says it all - I'm looking to start with a basic Propeller schematic and make a few of my own boards (maybe) and rather than re invent the entire wheel I was hoping there might already be a starter schematic out there? again I want all through hole stuff :)

if not I will do it - but just wanted to see if anyone knew it already existed

Thanks
Jamie

    I would check out the "smorgasboard" page here:
    http://smorgasboard.wikispaces.com/Designs

    several of these look to be in Diptrace format, including my favorite, Propeller Platform USB...

    cool username, btw

    Ok, I see you want all through hole now...
    Actually, making a DipTrace version of the original Propeller Platform would be nice...
    Maybe it exists already, but I don't think I've seen it...

    Please find attached a board I made to use Ray's LCD display+control board.
    It uses the same pin interface of the propeller platform, but the 5V stage is not used.
    You have Xbee, DIP propeller, uSD, and some other TH components.
    Filter caps, pullups and eeprom are SMD, but it should get you started.
    I adapted the same board for a heated bed control for my 3D printer (hope to post something soon), and it worked in both occasions.

    The propeller is quite forgiving, only remember the filter caps!!

    Ok well I decided to start from scratch and build the circuit from the schematic in my learning kit :) I figured I need to learn and get better at it anyway... imagine that but it looks a lot like the ones that are already out there - I probably need to refine and make some changes - like I'm not sure I got the right crystal pattern - hopefully I got the connections right!

    (removed invalid schematic)

    You have Vss and Vdd backwards. Vss is the ground connection.

    Thanks Rick! oops!

    OK I fixed the Schematic, removed the invalid one (just in case) and here's the latest :)
