    An eight processor micro controller chip.......$13.00
    Prop Clip or Prop Plug for programming........$30.00
    Miscellaneous parts for breadboarding..........$20.00
    Time in learning a new programming language, and incorporating the Propeller Chip into your new project.......priceless.
    There are some things money can't buy, for everything robotic, there's the Propeller Chip.

    Project deadline spinning out of control? With the Parallax Propeller and the object exchange, your idea quickly becomes reality.

    "The power of eight".

    While I have absolutely no say in this, and I certainly have no slogan of my own to add, this, to me, is the best. Its short and to the point. The Prop is a powerful 8-core processor. How can it be said better?

    Parallax prop spins into the 21st century
    Need a prop, Spin into the next century
    Need a COG, Spin over to Parallax and buy a Prop
    Need for speed, Try a cog prop and spin over to Parallax
    Need a fast CPU, Then spin into the future with a prop from Parallax

    "Come work at Parallax and let your customers do all the marketing for you!" [noparse]:)[/noparse])

    "The Parallax Propeller: Not limited by the speed of sound" - Placed in a RC helicopter magazine

    "We've done all the hard work so you can do all the fun work with a Parallax Propeller"

    "Microcontroller?!? How would a Propeller do that? Find out now. www.parallax.com/propeller"

    "Think of what you have done with a Stamp. Now imagine you had 8. Parallax Propeller"

    Picture concept suggestion: You know about dangling the carrot in front of the donkey. The Propeller (or something that obviously represents one) is the carrot, with the donkey representing all the other microcontroller companies out there. (a bit too cocky for the Parallax business model though...)

    One full page ad that consists of a list of ideas of things to do with a Propeller (or a whole bunch of pictures in a collage(sp?), nerds like pictures!), and the slogan at the bottom of the page reads: "A small list of the things WE'VE thought of to use a Propeller for... www.parallax.com/propeller"

    That's all I got right now.

    -Parsko

    PS - Otherwise, I like Phil's logo, it rocks!!!

    Here's my quick efforts. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Why put 8·microcontrollers into your project, not me, I just Prop and go!

    Make your routines run in paralleller, with the Parallax Propeller

    Once you prop, you can't stop.

    (this is more of an full ad idea)
    • 8 32-bit cores
    • NTSC Color Video output
    • VGA output
    • Keyboard and Mouse input
    • SD card libraries
    • 32k of RAM
    • motor and servo·control libraries
    • Easy to use programming language
    • Free user friendly·IDE
    • Audio output
    • and more

    What other micro can do all of this for the price?

    (Show some pictures of the Prop hooked up to some devices, screen shots of video and VGA, maybe show a schematic of all of the above wired to a single Propeller)

    “Go ahead... Use all eight processors! We'll make more.” smile.gif

    “The Propeller: Seven more cores than you had before!”

    “No more waiting. Eight cores to serve you!”
    “No more waiting. Eight Cogs to serve you!”

    “Eight 20MIPS Cogs are waiting to serve you!”
    “Eight 20MIPS cores are waiting to serve you!”
    “Eight 20MIPS processors are waiting to serve you!”

    “Parallax Propeller = Parallel Relaxation
    Easy Street is now an eight lane highway!”



    "Props" smile.gif to Phil Pilgrim (PhiPi) for his awesome logo.
    To me a picture is worth eight Cogs!
