It was interesting when I setup and you get Big thick Book to learn from and CD With Source code to learn from too....

It got

Mouse
Keyboard
Joypad of 4 Buttons

The only downside I think of is

You have be careful with Board as they can easily break it :(
When you plug Joyport to other joyport and it can be pain to pull it out :(
You have only 128k to play with but can upgrade up to 512k

It going take time to learn them all as they have Basic and Assembler too :)

nice. propeller is an interesting microcontroller. the propeller2 is looking very nice. downside is half its ram is unavailable (rom/vga table/font etc). propgcc makes it easy to use instead of that spin bull****.

I've used propeller in a few little microcontroller projects. mostly now I stick to pic32.

currently I have a pic32 talking to a propeller and the propeller is runnin igs 8 cogs doing 8 simultaneous things. very sweet.

propgcc? is that in the CD?

pic32?:unsure:

I had good look at the code of Spin but it seem to be cumbersome :(

I have to study very thick book which had 800 pages even thought it is programming reference
 
propgcc is somewhat new, lets you program the propeller with C instead of spin.
 
I am thinking of selling it for same price because I hate the spin code:(
