  An inexpensive board can be found here:
  
  <http://www.wulfden.org/PRC/index.shtml&gt;
  
  ...although it would require you to assemble it. I used the rs232 interface shown on the Propstick schematic for a programmer interface that also will do full duplex. It may be possible to sample the max3232 part.
  
  Best, vatic

  Vertex,
  
  If you search posts in the APRIL/MAY 2006 timespan, you'll find a lot of info. This is when we were all still brewing boards. Mine ended up costing me less than the DEMO board. But, I think the education kit is probably the most effecient way to go, unless you have parts laying around. If you do, then grab a schematic and start soldering! I still exclusively use my homebrew board with complete success. You can see it at my personal gallery
  
  One big post about them is:

  That might be too much, but it should get you started. A few links might be useless to you...

  So if I use this circuit:

  then it will be able to do everything I need to program the propellor, right?

  Hmm, the schematic you posted is diffferent from the official schematic that Parallax has posted here www.parallax.com/propeller/media.asp

  In the picture that Parsko posted, the connectors he put alongside the prop chip, what are those called? I have been trying to find them on Jameco but I cannot.
  
  Also will this wirewrap socket fit the propellor chip?

  Why not assembly this, (without the Propeller Plug).
  
  With this.
  
  Plus a 3.3 power supply.
  
  Regards.
