Newbie questions

Hi everybody,
I'm totally new to the propeller, my "Propeller Starter Kit" came three days ago. And now questions start to come up [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Is there a documentation for the demo board that I failed to hunt down? I've got a little bag with electronic components, some of which I can't even identify ...
(one of them has a little sticker on it: "remove seal after washing": Now that puzzled me ... do I have to wash the seal or myself? And living far away from the coast, we don't even have any seals around here anyway ... [noparse]:)[/noparse] )
Where can I get the code for the program that was in the eeprom originally? It shows the animation with the mouse moveable cross hair and does A/D -> D/A of the microphone. The demo programs I've found so far don't do both ...
First successes: I connected an XBEE to the propeller which is now happily sending away [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Keep spinning,
Christoph

The issue of the demo program came up before. I think Beau or Paul posted a link to it, but I don't have a copy.
well [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Half and half, yes. I mean, the kit is meant for beginners and I could imagine a tiny manual for the board ... Okay, there's the (excellent) "Propeller Manual" and of course schematics for the board, I know. So I'll manage, like everyone else [noparse]:)[/noparse]

washing yourself once a week, i think will be ok.
DO NOT WASH THE PROP !!!!! He shows up very cleaned and·has a nice smelling before it burns away !!!!
Just remove the sealing label and give your new prop a try.
Oh, but you allready got XBee up and running at the Prop.
Nice done and my congrats !!!!!

Please visit my online Propeller at:

I might even have seen that but I've been searching for hours now (instead of playing with the board ...) and can't find it.
Hey, searching the forum: does it work? It seems that searches with more than one word don't give?
Thanks,
Christoph
Did you use the forum search function or search.parallax.com ? The latter is powered by Google and works a bit better and by bit I mean it actually works, unlike the other search functionality. With a bit of tweaking you could refine the search even more.
For example, searching for PWM frequency inurl:f=25 will limit your search to the Propeller forum. I'm sure you'll figure it out, it's a lot easier than removing a seal from a piezo [noparse]:)[/noparse]

PS, if you're having trouble removing the seal from the piezo, try luring it away with some fresh fish, that worked for me.

I find it is a nice way to search for interesting info.
Thanks, that's extremely helpful. I was already suspecting there was an issue with the forum's search [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Could you tell us something about yourself. What are you doing, why did you pick the Prop... what are you hoping to do with your Prop.
I was a little confused about that seal thing too... I just took it off and threw it back in the box and the next thing I know I have Government inspectors at my door.

I'm interested in uProcessors and for actually making something that works robotics are an interesting field. So I'm on a constant lookout for the perfect processor. The one that offers enough pins, enough memory, does all the necessary I/O, and that fast, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg [noparse]:)[/noparse]
The Propeller looks like a possible candidate ...
Oh, I solved that one. I'm not gonna use something where I have to wash for anyway.
