AM2315 with a Propeller.

in Propeller 1
I would like to run an AM2315 temp R/H sensor with a Propeller (P8X32A) based board from Hobbytronics. The serial VGA board, as it suggests, converts TTL serial data to a VGA signal, using the P8X32A "Propeller" chip. I need help getting started programming the propeller chip. My goal is to become proficient at programming the propeller chip to work with different sensors. This is very useful in my weather instrument environment. I'm very new to the I2C bus.

    There is a lot of code in the Propeller Object Exchange (OBEX) including VGA drivers and drivers for a lot of different sensors. There are I2C drivers with examples of their use with a variety of I2C devices. Make sure you have a copy of the Propeller Manual which is also included with the Propeller Tool. The Propeller Education Kit Guide is also useful and downloadable from Parallax.

    Most of the I/O drivers either in the OBEX or included with the Propeller Tool have examples of their use included as part of the source code. The comments in the source are often detailed.

    Is it a good idea to back up the propeller chips code, in case I scramble it?

    Definitely. You should do this with all your projects. There are source code control systems like Git that make keeping and comparing backups really easy.
