Schmartboard Parallax Propeller SchmartModule Development Board with Propeller IC
This board is populated with everything including the Parallax Propeller Chip, with space for optional 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).
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.
