Pellerduino, anyone??

Arduino for the Propeller (as in the IDE, not the hardware)

I stumbled upon this today while rummaging through the Internets. It's an early implementation of someone's creation of an Arduino environment that includes the Propeller. It's currently only available for Mac OS X but I loaded it and the "Hello LED" program, um, I mean sketch does run on my PPDB.

It can be found on Github, here.
Or on Google Code, here.

Same guys, same stuff, either location.

The sample sketch came from the Github site:

void setup()
{
    pinMode(20,OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
    digitalWrite(20,LOW);
    delay(500);
    digitalWrite(20,HIGH);
    delay(500);
}

It doesn't look abandoned but it's moving slowly.

I'm going to contact the author and see what he/she can tell me....maybe he/she's already on the forum or will join us here!

If you have Mac OS X (I'm running on 10.8.2) and don't mind installing a JVM (it wasn't my first choice) and have any interest in trying this.....well, you can go from here.

I was going to port the Arduino Library. Its not actually that hard. But... I don't have time to do it.

Additionally, the library would have to be written with heavy consideration for the board used.

I still want to do this, but, probably for the prop 2.

Time... I wish I could buy more of it. But I'm not interested in enslaving myself to coffee. Not yet at least.

Thanks,

Hi mindrobots.

It's "he".
And refer below;
http://ksksue.com/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:propeller:pellerduino:install
There is install-procedure to Ubuntu for Pellerduino.
But it's Japanese langauge.
Please use google-translation.

It would be awesome if someome ported the wiring stuff to propgcc with a new library for multicog operation. ive been doing some side stuff with an avr flashed with arduino its so easy but the hardware just camt compare to a propeller, i keep thinking i should probably use a propeller in the end but i dont want to trash all the effort ive put in to learning the arduino platform.

FWIW, I implemented a Arduino somewhat compatible SPIN object so Arduino users could learn the propeller. It has a few limitations because I made it not use any dedicated COGs, which means you can run 8 COGs with Arduino type code.

@caskaz, thank you for the additional information. I followed some of the links and found the Propeller Lovers Lab, all in Japanese, so I'll have to see what Google translations look like!

@pedward, I remember that! It was good stuff for our Arduino friends. The multi-COG capability is a nice feature to offer those coming over from Arduino.

Fascinating stuff
Thanks for finding it.
