Quickstart, bread board, cheap regulated power supply, cheap digital volt meter for ( optional ) extenal input, cheaper digital volt meter for 5 volt output, SD adapter slot, 1 gig micro SD, HC06 bluetooth, cheap 4 AA battery pack for remote testing, 12volt UPC for extended remote testing;

Currently configured as data logger for realtime clock, SR04, and thermistor

Currently testing a bunch of 10k thermisor probes (pictured, in bundle, green wires)

Not pictured - VOM with digital temperature probe

Ragtop

My creation. runs the pins of the propeller chip out to headers that run beside the bread board.

Nice, Ragtop! A backlit clear breadboard. Gorgeous and genius at once!

Xanadu, thanks for the admiration on my two designs! I do think they make a nice pairing for small breadboard setups, like Martin's Wixel project, but they also work good for small projects running off a 9 volt battery like my Propeller Metronome.

M44D40+ Propeller Module
PowerTwig 5v and 3.3v power supply
I still sell both.......

Currently, most of my work is done on my Propeller BOE, Propeller Activity Board, and a Quickstart/HIB combo. Mainly that is becuase my current projects all involve uSD, xBee, and/or VGA.

Normally I wire my own boards but the Propeller Mini (with all the pins up and extra ground pins added by subverting the right-angle programming pins) has become so freakishly handy that it's the new fav.

It's a great little board it fits well. I'm treating myself to a Prop BOE real soon too.

My favorite board changes weekly.

I own two PPDBs that see their share of bench projects. For my bots I use a quickstart on the stingray, and a PBOE on the boe frame. The first prop board I purchased was a VX-PROPELLER which will always have a soft spot in my heart. For the longest time, the PSM was my favorite board. (Unfortunately I fried something in the usb circuit. She still boots off battery with the last program I loaded on her, but cannot be updated.) Always good to have options... I mounted a propstick on a homemade powered bread board, but it gets very little use.

This is what I've come up with. The board brings all the Propeller pins out to a straight header, and two pins provide +5V onto the power rail. I have some little boards (not in the picture) that will plug into the power bus and give me +3.3V out at two screw terminals. The bypass caps for the propeller are mounted under the socket. The two outer screw holes have standoffs mounted to hold the board at the same level as the breadboard.
