Prototyping Board

Posts: 185
I know Parallax and other forum members have created their own versions of the prototype board, but I like designing my own stuff and thought I would share it.· I wanted a larger prototyping area without the Propeller and·supporting components taking up any of the space. I also wanted to be able to easily switch between using PS2/VGA·and the additional I/O Pins they use so I installed·switches.· The USB propeller clip attaches at the top right side of pin 31.· I have uploaded·the schematic and PCB along with a picture of the final board.·

Nice work and a rewarding project, I'm sure. The switches are a good idea for I/O flexibility. Parallax has designed a Professional Development Board for Propeller, which we will also share very soon on the forums.
For me, I need a permanent board for Propeller projects. I'm waiting for the Prop Proto Board.

I made the stickers for the propeller using a drawing program.· I use Visio but any program will work.· The font size is·6pt Arial and each line takes up 8 characters.· It is laminated to protect the printing and I used stick glue to attach it to the top of the propeller chip.
I am using a standard breadboard with locking tabs.· This will allow me to·snap-on additional boards as needed for my experiments.
Thanks for the comments and questions.
