250+ Props used. Probably more like 275.

    Haha! Define "used".....actually deployed into a working gizmo? partially built into a project? purchased with good intent to build?

    My numbers vary wildly based on that definition! :lol:

    No point in trying to boost here. We all know that Humanoido will win. He probably stands for like 40% of Parallax total annual sale.
    (Thanks Humanoido for making Parallax such a rich and prosperous company. And in the long run making the P2 a reality)

    Does redeploying the same one over and over again add to the "score?"

    Does the size of your score really matter?

    Maybe this is the geek equivalent of driving a REALLY BIG pickup truck....for no real reason.

    Actually deployed into a working gizmo!

    Your PC keeps score on all new FT232RL's connected to a USB port. Although I could swear I noticed it click back to 1 after 256 but I may be mistaken. So for every new FT232 number, there is a new Prop next to it. Every new FT232 bumps the port number up. Redeploying doesn't count.

    Not quite 100, but close. 20 more built devices waiting to be sold and deployed (they will be). Right now one customer is weighing how they will upgrade their enterprise data collection system, and once they finish in the likely event they continue to use our solution it will be 4 digits within a few years.

    Around 200 so far but like localroger I have a client that could take thousand or so with a new product I have.
    I'm currently redesigning the board layout to almost all smd to meet their exact requirements.

    The biggest majority of the stuff that I do is security system based, access control primarily and up to now have been for our own installations.
    I could make my products just as easily with PIC or similar but I just love working with Propeller and the product isn't price sensitive.

    Bear in mind I am not an electronics engineer by trade, I just do this stuff for fun mainly and a lot most of what I have learned is down to the members of this great forum. :thumb:
    I doubt I would have even attempted most of my projects without it.

    Thanks!

    I don't think so. Folks only care about your pickup truck if they think you might help them move (unless there's an obsession for pickup trucks).

    Each number of props is just a number, but the whole data set, all the total props used and how they were accumulated, IS interesting. If one finds looking at data interesting.

    "Score" is an unfortunate choice, it implies a competition. In this case, the winner(s) would be those that use the correct number for their needs, which must be everyone.

    I was making a joke... A bad joke...

    Does your score increase if folks are running your software?

    Does pre-loading each Pocket Mini Computer before shipping it count?

    I'd count how many total props you shipped. But how many did you pre load?

    That is funny. Reminds of a long time ago some guys wanted to know if they could only pay for 8 tracks since they didn't need 24.

    That is funny. I bought lots of 8-tracks as a teenager. :)

    Probably around 20-30. Will be nearer 500 in about 2 months (!)

    I've probably killed about 3, and I've owned/used the greater half of 10.
