While the Propeller 2 is still in the early adopter stages while we finish up the documentation and examples, we’re still envisioning hardware solutions to help our customers get underway. The P2 Quick Byte Project Board is shown above. We have two purposes with this new concept design. First, we’d like to speed low-volume production […]

Description These instructions demonstrate the upgrade of an Arlo robot from Propeller 1 to Propeller 2 control with the new Parallax Universal Motor Controller Add-on #64010. The operation and example code are demonstrated in the included video. The example code features the basic instructions required to drive the Arlo robot, and has been designed to […]
Community member Jon Titus (also a contributor to the Parallax Future Innovators Fund) created a 3D-printed “pin protector” for middle school students. In his words: “I volunteer in a class in which students (7th–9th grade) use Micro:Bit computers. The kids have a difficult time attaching clip leads to the edge connector without shorting out the […]
Benezan Electronics of Rottenburg, Germany has developed the Beamicon2 Expandable CNC Controller with Ethernet. This professional hardware design uses the Propeller 1 Multicore Microcontroller to deliver real-time signals at 1.6 MHz through six stepper or servo drives, simultaneously. You’ll see one Propeller 1 in the controller shown above, but the multi-axis CNC router shown below […]
A New Era in Robotics! Who’s ready to build a robot to withstand 2022? I am! We’ve finally completed all the parts needed to build your own heavy-duty robot around the 6.5″ Hub Motor with Encoder (aka “Hoverboard motors”). The hardware and control electronics are now within reach and you’re no longer relegated to an […]
Description Run-time floating-point operators have recently been added to Spin2’s language interpreter. These operators utilize the 32-bit IEEE-754 floating-point format. Parallax’s Propeller Tool (ver 2.6.2 and higher) and FlexProp (ver. 5.9.6 and higher) support the use of floating-point math. The largest possible floating-point number that can be used is 3.4e+38. Floating-point variables in Spin2 are […]
We have customers who would like to design Propeller 1 or 2 into their products and consultants who would like to offer their services. We’re providing this page as a community resource where connections may be made without validation by Parallax. Simply make your post below. If you need consulting services for product development consider […]
Dear Community, We’re seeking input from you as we plan our Parallax efforts for 2022. You (our community) invest time, education, and your futures in Parallax. Educators put our hardware and curriculum into their courses and companies use our chips and components to create products of more use than the materials we provide. We have […]
