Choose the right robot kit for your classroom
The most commonly asked question on our Educator Hotline is which robot and language to use: Python, PBASIC, Arduino C, BlocklyProp, or Propeller C?
Each one has its own curriculum, with compatible accessories for all kits. See our Robot Comparison page to help you choose, or, call our Educator Hotline (916-701-8625).
P2 Edge and P2 Edge Breadboard Bundle
Developers of all backgrounds are getting started with the Propeller 2 Multicore Microcontroller. We’ve assembled a bundle of the most popular items you’re purchasing, including the P2 Edge Module, P2 Edge Breakout Breadboard, and PropPlug with cables into a single package at a discount. Consider joining the P2 Live Forums to ask questions and get up to speed!
Download the Propeller Tool for Windows
The Propeller Tool for Windows now supports Propeller 1 and 2 for Spin1/Spin2 and PASM coding. This is the official tool supported by Parallax, yet the Propeller 2 may be programmed on other development tools in various languages (Python, BASIC, or C).
Cyber: bot combines Python, circuit building, and cybersecurity
Cyber:bot combines Python, circuit building, and cybersecurity with a tangible hardware dimension to science, CTE, and cybersecurity programs. Cyber:bot was developed as a cooperative project between cyber.org and Parallax.com. The cyber:bot merges a micro:bit with the Parallax small robot form factor that’s a proven STEM success in classrooms.
Gripper 3.0 for small robots
Designed by a mechanical engineer who studied on Parallax robots at NYU-Tandon School of Engineering and manufactured on our CNC machines in Rocklin, California, the Gripper 3.0 is a precise, smooth-action, single-servo grab-and-lift actuator.
Compatible with the Boe-Bot, Shield-Bot for Arduino, cyber:bot, and ActivityBot 360. Add a Laser Ping, Ping))) Ultrasonic Sensor, RFID or ColorPal sensors to locate and identify objects.
Cybersecurity: Radio Data
Cybersecurity: Radio Data tutorial posted. The approach is similar to how apps and servers exchange data, with packets containing key-value pairs. Thanks to MicroPython’s dictionary and string features, this easy and powerful technique takes just a couple lines
of code.
