The most recent issue of Nuts and Volts shows the new dev board...when will it be up on the Parallax website?

Just curious...

    In a couple weeks -- manufacturing was delayed but they will arrive shortly. Of course, we will make a big splash when they do. Please understand that we do our best to time articles like that to product releases, and I use prototypes when writing my column. This time, however, a manufacturing slip beyond our control held things up. Of course, we'll expect an order from you since you asked the question publicly....

    Is this the combo BS2/SX board that you had on this forum earlier?

    They're referring to our Professional Development Baord: http://www.parallax.com/images/prod_jpg/28138.jpg

    If you've got the May issue of Nuts & Volts you can read about it in my column.· It works with all of our micros: BS1-IC, BS2-family, Javelin Stamp, and the SX28.· I use the PDB for developing SX82-based coprocessors (using SX/B) for BASIC Stamps.· The PDB absolutley rocks, and it's about the only tool I use anymore.

    Just ordered one! Excellent.

    You know, I was thinking...there might be a good market for 'kits' that help you take a project designed on a board like the BOE or now this new dev board, and move to a permanent project-

    For example, the 2.1mm plug, the 7805 (or what ever v-reg), socket for the uController, etc...along the lines of the carrier boards- or an inexpensive through-hole bare PCB version of the dev boards, like the BOE, etc. Just a thought.

    Any plans to add the PDB along with the SX kit as an option? Like a bundle type of deal without the original SX kit dev board?

    *Drool*

    You've got every accessory possible on that board...

    Well, with the possible exception of the kitchen sink...

    If I didn't already have an experimenter board 3 times the size, I'd jump on this board immediately.
    Maybe next year...
    If the BS3 is out by then...

    The only problem I see is that you don't have the LM386, MAX232E, L293D, etc. chips.

    bugg,

    ·· What are you talking about?· All the chips you mentioned come on the board.· The LM386 is right above the speaker, the MAX232E is right above the lower DB9 connector and the L293D is right to the left of the speaker.· Order one and you'll see...

    Oops. I confused the PDB with another board. Sorry about that.

    I've been using my dev board for a few weeks now...and this thing is great! I don't think I'll go back to a BOE with this on my desk!
