Hi,

I have never used a Propeller because it has been difficult to find
exercices like "Stamps in Class" for B.Stamps.

Do you know if Parallax has some kind of texts for people like me
tha use B.Stamps?

And the second question, do you know if a Propeller could be propgrameble
usin a sort of basic ( more easy than spin) ?

Thanks.

    You might not find Spin to be too terrible to learn. Look through the examples at http://learn.parallax.com as Bill has mentioned.

    You might want to start with the Propeller Education Kit. At least check out the free download of the Lab Manual and see if the Spin code in there makes sense.

    Bill's SchoolBoard also would be a good way to start experimenting, just add a Quickstart and you can try a number of the labs and add some parts and you can do them all.

    Thanks,

    It is ver interesting.
    But why Parallax have not adviced that has FemtoBasic and PropBasic? are FemtoBasic and PropBasic
    beta or not tested softwares or perhaps they are not good yet ?

    I think Parallax could promote those softwares, thanks
