Parallax 40000 P8X32A QuickStart

The QuickStart is an evaluation board for the Propeller. As an open-source reference design the QuickStart board provides basic Propeller circuitry. Developers may use our PCB layout files as their own to speed their project towards completion. As a project board the QuickStart is fully expandable and provides unimpeded access to all I/O pins through an expansion header but includes some button inputs and LEDs to demonstrate programming. With USB power and a selection of QuickStart Project examples it's also the fastest way to get up and running.

Examples at Parallax Semiconductor:
QuickStart 1: Comparison of Programming Tools
QuickStart 2: Propeller Programming First Steps
QuickStart 3: Introduction to Spin Objects
QuickStart 4: Common Methods Found in Objects
QuickStart 5: Multiple Cogs
QuickStart 6: Using the Parallax Serial Terminal
