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.

Parallax 2x16 Serial LCD (Backlit)

The Parallax Serial LCDs are very functional, low-cost liquid crystal displays that can be easily interfaced to and controlled by a microcontroller using a I/O pin.

Parallax PING))) Protector Stand

The PING))) Protector Stand is a precisely machined mounting bracket cut from ¼ in thick from high-grade aluminum. With easy installation this stand can gracefully attach your PING))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor to your robot and protect the sensor from most collisions. 

Parallax PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor #28015

This easy-to-use distance sensor from Parallax employs sonar to detect objects from approximately 0.75 – 120 inches (2 cm – 3 meters). The Ping distance sensor has status LEDs and requires only one I/O pin. The on-board three-pin header makes the PING))) compatible with a solderless breadboard.

Parallax USB2SER Development Tool

Replacement: FTDI-Breakout-Reloaded-V11

Parallax created this development tool in order to provide developers using five volt microcontroller (like our BASIC Stamp series) to have easy access to a PC’s USB port using the FTDI virtual device drivers. This tool is also a reference design for customer applications using the FTDI chip in-circuit.

Polar Heart Rate Receiver

The Polar Heart Rate Receiver is a Polar WearLink compatible receiver capable of wirelessly receiving coded heart beat transmissions from a Polar WearLink+ Heart Rate Sensor.  With its standard servo interface pinout (Vss, Vdd, Sig), interfacing with this receiver is very simple - upon receipt of a heart beat signal, a 15 ms pulse is sent on the signal pin.  This receiver also features a longer reception distance, giving you added flexibility in your application.

Propeller C3

The C3 is a true “Credit-Card–sized Computer” that augments the Propeller chip with a number of onboard peripherals to facilitate large scale and complex applications.

Propeller Demo Board

 The Propeller Demo Board demonstrates the Propeller's varied capabilities in a compact and fun platform. You can use it to learn Propeller programming and then develop full-blown applications which generate video and sound, and utilize mice and keyboards. All the requisite power supply and USB programming interface is provided for you. Eight unused I/O pins are available for experimentation.

Propeller Proto Board

Parallax’s Propeller Proto Board is a low cost, high quality solution for permanent projects using the Propeller chip. To save the user some expense, the USB programming interface is not included on the Propeller Proto Board; we suggest you purchase a Prop Plug for programming your Propeller Proto Boards.

Propeller Proto Board USB

The Propeller Proto Board USB has all the features of the Propeller Proto Board and includes the USB programming interface on the board for those projects which need the USB interface in the application. For projects which do not need the USB interface after programming, we recommend purchasing the Propeller Proto Board (#32212) and Prop Plug (#32201) since the reusability of the Prop Plug reduces overall cost when programming multiple boards. Our Proto Board Accessory Kit (#130-32212) can be used to provide VGA mouse and keyboard connectors.

VGA-PS/2 Adapter Board Kit

The VGA-PS/2 Adapter Board Kit makes it easy to add VGA, Keyboard and Mouse connections to any breadboard project or prototype.
