Hi:

When this is done, how do you see using them?

Will they be just for new robots, or will you also retro fit existing ones?

Thanks,

Lawrence

Any news on this board? I've been looking at the propeller chip since it was first announced, would love to get my grubby little hands on it...

What kind of snag did you hit Jim? Is a re-spin of the board required? If it makes you feel any better, I had to respin one of my boards at my work four times before I got it right...

I dropped the ball on these boards. Well myself and several others... Ken told me about a propeller ver. 2 he was working on, so I was a little nervous about trying to make the board. I was concerned it would be obsolete as soon as it was finished. We decided to go for it and see how it worked out. The boards were made but we could never get them to work. I should have sent them to parallax but I let some one continue to work on them. In January I decided enough was enough as no progress was being made. I have the boards here and sadly have not done anything with them. I decided to shelf the attempt and concentrate on something that makes more sense. That being a 32 bit Arduino variant. I also decided to wait a little longer to see if I should go Atmel or Pic.

The robotics nut.

Would have been fun to see a propeller implementation. From the picture you posted of the board, at first glance it appeared you had voltage level translators and a hardware ADC built-in. I don't believe any of the other propeller boards on the market have these features. Any consideration to an ARM based board using something like a Cortex M4F?
