If there’s one thing that will surely blind us, its reading resistor color bands. It doesn’t help that red looks exactly like orange, brown and black are indistinguishable, and different component ...

The eight-core Parallax Propeller microcontroller finally has a C compiler courtesy of ImageCraft. The ANSI C compiler supports a large memory model that exceeds the on-chip 2-kbyte limit of the eight ...

Parallax, well known for its successful Basic Stamp IC, has recently introduced the Propeller: a new microcontroller with a certain difference. It packs no less than eight 32-bit processors (referred ...

The Propeller chip (see "Eight 32-Bit Cores Take Flight In Multiprocessor Microcontroller" at www.electronicdesign.com, ED Online 12235) has found a home in the $59 24-pin SpinStamp Microcontroller ...

The Venn diagram of objects you can eat, and objects from which digital synthesizers have been made is one with minimal overlap. But thanks to Gadget Gangster's Jeff Ledger and his Bananaphone touch ...

This is a bit of a convoluted story, but I think it's important for me to first set the scene so that you understand all of the ramifications… One of the members asked why we needed an official hat in ...

The Parallax Propeller is an interesting chip that doesn’t get a lot of love, but since the entire chip was released as open source, that might be about to change: people are putting this chip inside ...
