Examples of student projects with the Propeller
I've posted some pic/video's of my student's midterm projects using the Propeller and working from the Hydra manual (ok, only up to Chapter 13 or so, we've been using the installed libraries and object libraries from video graphics).· An explaination of their task is on the page.· It's been EXTREMELY interesting teaching this course with the Propeller and Andre's excellent book.· Next week we start on Assembly, yay!

Thanks for responses to their posted questions as they sought solutions!· They definately pushed my knowledge at times, and I've learned a lot from Andre's text while teaching, with plenty to go.

FYI, I have been unable to play any of the videos posted on your website. I use a Mac with their latest OS (10.5) and have Flip4Mac which is an add-on to play Windows Media Viewer type files (and has worked before with AVI and WMV files).
Nice projects though!
You'll need to save locally probably 1st, the server doesn't stream. I'll post a note, thanks.

You can save them locally or just keep hitting the play button to keep them downloading. The server looks like it is dying under our collective sapping.
Fabulous... would love to see the code and student comments about their experience.
What seems to be missing is a video archive of your lectures. MIT does it[noparse]:)[/noparse]
SIU could lower its tuition and improve instructor environmentals by offering subscription-based web courses[noparse]:)[/noparse]
Re-Use, Re-Purpose, ReMIT!!!

I'm working on reducing the vids or trying to embed them. Never gonna see any video's of me, lecture or otherwise, at least not as the focus of one.

Both versions worked fine for me on my iMac G5 (Panther) with Flip4Mac. Interesting class, BTW. You've got your students doing some neat stuff!

The originals are like 30M to 77M, eating up my alloted diskspace and such. Maybe I'll get the students to put them on U-tube.

Thanks about the Mac info. It's been an interesting class to teach. They've done a number of projects, and it's the least 'hand-holding' I've had to do, we've been able to look at higher level uses much faster than in the past, and students seem much more engaged than in the past. Not having to spend 5-6 weeks simply covering hardware in typical controllers has allowed us to move a lot faster into actual applications.
