Propeller Demo Board Manual

OK, So I have my shiny new Propeller Demo Board and the 2 manuals that come with it. However, there seems to be really no step by step demos for this board. I would like to suggest that Parallax write a manual for the Propeller Demo Board such as the one that comes with WAM. I think it would be a HUGE benefit, especially for newbies just getting in to Microcontrollers. Although I have worked with the Stamos for several years, I really enjoyed having the WAM manual in front of me while I was learning and believe one for the Prop would help those of us who like pictures to go by!!!

    I agree. If the whole purpose of the Demo board is to show off the Propeller, you really should/could have a canned set of instructions along with some downloads that make it easy for even the dumbest person to flick some buttons and see it strut its stuff. I complained years ago that many of the Demo programs don't have enough commentary to make them easy to tinker with. Only recently did I discover the Demo board's fascinating ability to make sound effects, the gregorian chants and "seven". It was fun, but why did it take me so long to stumble over that stuff? I love the Demo board because it frees me from having to solder all those freakin VGA pins, and I likes my VGA.
