Propeller DIY Kit

NWCCTV

I was working on bread boarding a propeller today and realized Parallax uses a different bread board with the PE kit than the standard ones sold pretty much everywhere. I am using the documentation from the PE kit to pre assemble a prop prior to building it up for a project I have in mind. Ay how, as I was doing this I figured I would suggest a Propeller "Kit" for DIY'ers. It could contain a PCB and all the components needed to assemble a working Propeller. I think this would be a great way for beginners and experienced users to build something they can actually use rather than just having it sit on a bread board. I myself have several projects in mind that something like this would be great for. I might try to design something myself but my skills in that area are very limited.

...so, something like this, but for Propeller? I might buy one.

I posted a board that I've used to the Projects forum. The original had all through-hole parts and could be soldered-up pretty easily. I've sent a few of these out in The Fellowship of the Travelling Parts Box (savagecircuits web site).

How about something like this: http://www.schmartboard.com/index.asp?page=products_parallax&id=333

I think Andy was hoping for all through hole parts like this Propeller Platform board.

I personally don't have an interest this this sort of board (not that I think it's a bad board or a bad idea). I'd rather use something like Propeller Project Board and have a head start on building my project.

Radio Shack has them all assembled less the Prop chip and crystal. I have seen them for seven buck at times:

Exactly.

I did not think about using these. I actually have a couple of them lying around somewhere. Now just to find and assemble!!!

...or, your own 3rd party product :thumb:

Do the layout, fab the boards, collect the parts (40-pin PDIP version Prop), package, market, sell - retire!

(I'll take 60% for the idea...)



Aw rats! Looks like Mr. Locke already did it...
