  Really nice work, Lucas. And welcome to the prop forum
  
  Looks like a 15 way normal density D connector in the middle... for a joystick?
  
  Cheers

  Thank you, no is a connector for add-on expansion cards, in that connector you have available the most from 0 to 11 of the propeller pins as the gnd and 3,3 volts.

  Just for clarity, does it use the pins the same way to be compatible with Parallax demo board?
  
  If not, it could be confusing because people often post code for these Propeller Configurations:
  Demo board, Hybrid board, and Hydra board. (I'm not talking about trademarks, just compatibility terminology.)
  
  For example, I usually wire my Proto Boards in Demo Board compatible configuration,
  but my first Propeller was a Hydra Board.

  I used the same pin configuration of the Parallax demo board, so as to make it compatible with it. Connector D-Sub and one more thing, but the pin P0-P7 and outside them are the same as the demo board. I added 4 more pins, and two for power, useful for example to drive LEDs.
  
  A short put on the forum all the technical details, diagrams + PCB, so as to eliminate any doubt.

  Lucas68: It looks very good! Can you give us a unique name for this board computer?

  Yes! the name is Prop-VIC Board, the name taken from the famous and glorious VIC20.

  Your board appears very nice and the features look appealing.· I would very much like to see you design.· Do you plan to mfg. and sell the board?

  I would like to share this project with all users of the forum. Making available the schematic and the board designed with eagle 5.6 software, then produce two new versions of the board, I developing some interesting applications for programming the robot.
  
  Coming soon!
