So I picked up a Parallax P8X32A Quick-start board at Radio Shack the other day.

I'm guessing
-that the propeller tool is just an IDE for editing code.
-Propellent is a compiler for the spin code


I'm having a hard time finding information on how to write the propeller assembly and deploy the code could anyone help me out here?

    I have links to a bunch of Propeller tutorials in post #3 of my "index" (it's not alphabetical).

    I use the Propeller tool almost exclusively (I mainly program in Spin and PASM).

    The Propeller Tool combines an editor, compiler, loader, and source-code archiver. Plus it can start a serial terminal window.
    Propellent is a command-line compiler and loader.
