Microcontrollers Explored
I’ve been quite busy since I introduced PropCade, and you can look forward to many new product announcements here over the next few months.
I will also add a store soon, to make it easier for you to purchase my products.
I’m happy to announce that my new Propeller based single board computer “PropCade” is now available for sale!
PropCade runs at 100Mhz - providing eight cores running at 25MIPS - 32 bit MIPS at that…
With TV, S-Video and VGA output you can hook it up to old TV’s, new TV’s or nice monitors 
The two Atari/Sega style joystick ports will help you run Retro games - and of course you can write your own…
PropCade supports a uSD (TransFlash) card for a LOT of storage, and with mpark’s Sphinx compiler, running on Cluso99’s SphinxOS, you can develop Propeller software right on PropCade!
I wanted to bring back the fun of programming on a small computer - Apple’s, Atari’s and Commodore’s were what I cut my teeth on in high school - and PropCade brings the retro fun back.
There are a lot more details on the “PropCade” page you can find on the left menu bar…
Due to preparing for UPEW 2010 at the end of June, I did not have time to update the site… and it got even worse after UPEW.
There will be a whole slew of new product announcements over the next few months, so you might want to keep an eye on this site
I’ve finally found the time to add three new product pages:
I have also uploaded the BOM (Parts list) for Propteus on the Downloads page. Enjoy!
