How much ram does Propeller Activity Board have?

Ruturaj

Hello guys,

I am new to robotics, and was using a robot which had some 2.5KB ram but only 512 bytes ram available for variables which is little short for my application, so I was thinking about buying activity bot.
How much RAM does it have and how much is available for user to create variables?
Also I am planning to buy 6 of them so can anyone help me with promo code or something or do I have to wait till price drops to 170 (I saw it dropping to something like that couple of times)?

Thanks

Ruturaj it has 32k bytes of user ram for variables/programs. And each cog has 492 usable longs available. Welcome to the forum.

While the Propeller has only 32K of MAIN RAM, it can easily use an SDcard and/or EEPROM to extend programs to far beyond the 32K RAM space. Having 8 CPUs means that a system of swapping in and out code blocks stored on an SDcard or EEPROM is easily accomplished.
