Schmartboard Parallax Propeller SchmartModule Development Board (710-0005-01)

Schmartboard Parallax Propeller SchmartModule Development Board

This board is populated with everything except for the Parallax Propeller Chip, memory and the optional Parallax Crystal (Memory and crystal not sold by Schmartboard). You hand solder these parts using SchmartBoard|ez technology which makes soldering easy and flawless(and some headers which are included). The Propeller chip makes it easy to rapidly develop embedded applications. Its eight processors (cogs) can operate simultaneously, either independently or cooperatively, sharing common resources through a central hub. The developer has full control over how and when each cog is employed; there is no compiler-driven or operating system-driven splitting of tasks among multiple cogs. A shared system clock keeps each cog on the same time reference, allowing for true deterministic timing and synchronization. Two programming languages are available: the easy-to-learn high-level Spin, and Propeller Assembly which can execute at up to 160 MIPS (20 MIPS per cog).

Once upon a time it was easy to prototype a circuit by hand soldering components on to a prototyping board, using wire wrap techniques or a breadboard.  Today, our advanced electronics require the use of small and tight pitched components.  It’s made it almost impossible to prototype.  Schmartboard, and only Schmartboard, has solved this conundrum. Never before has it been so easy to hand solder surface mount components.  Only Schmartboard has a patented technology that makes this possible.  "Schmartboard|ez" makes it easy to solder SOIC, QFP, QFN and other component packages with  pitches as small as .4mm.

Schmartboard's also connect together.  Schmartboard allows you to wire up multiple Schmartboard and then mechanically connect them via our "SchmartBridges".  Schmartboard's "Electronic Circuit Building Block" patented technology makes it easier to create and trouble-shoot your circuit.  Rather than trouble-shooting an issue on a large and complicated messy circuit, why not build and test smaller circuit blocks and then connect them together to form your larger final circuit.  This saves time and money and is only available from Schmartboard.
