Introduction to the Propeller Protoboard
A step-by-step tutorial for new users
By Jeff Ledger
August 2008
Welcome to the world of microcontrollers!
You have the ticket to an exciting adventure. The Parallax Propeller chip is the stamp sized
square in the center of your Protoboard. It is one of the most advanced, yet easiest-to-use
microcontrollers ever created.
A microcontroller is simply a one-chip computer. Microcontrollers can be found running
everyday devices from your microwave to your stove and even the gas pumps at your local
service station. The Propeller microcontroller is capable of video, sound, input controllers, and
communication with a variety of sensors. By adding some simple electronics to your
Protoboard, you can do everything from predicting the weather to playing video games.
The purpose of this document is to get you up and running with exactly what you have in your
hands, the Parallax Propeller Protoboard, and the programming Prop plug.
You will need to download the following programs to your computer:
The Propeller Tool is the official programming environment (IDE) for the Propeller and is
provided free of charge. We'll use it to load programs from the computer into the Propeller.
The electronic form manual is also provided free of charge. You may want to invest in a printed
copy from Parallax as you start programming in "spin", the language used in the Propeller Tool.
We will use Propterminal to simulate the keyboard and video on the computer because we do not
have these connections on the Protoboard. They are easy to add later. Propterminal will allow
you to use the computer keyboard and screen as if they were connected directly to the Propeller
itself.
