Description This Spin2 example uses a technique known as Charlieplexing to verify that the pins on the P2 and its associated circuit traces on the host board are functioning correctly. In a typical LED blink example, a single general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pin is used to drive/power/light a single load/device/LED. The LED is both a device […]
Description These three source code examples interface a quadrature encoder clock, data and button signals to the Propeller 2. The first two versions are useful for seeing the internals of the encoder signals, but the third version is a demo with its own encoder object. Rotary_Encoder_Demo1_Archive.zip – read a quadrature encoder with Spin2 and PASM […]
Description This Spin2 utility program for the Propeller 2 scans all I2C devices connected to a pair of I/O pins and shows their addresses in a matrix format on Parallax Serial Terminal. This program is useful to verify the addresses of multiple device addresses on the same bus before you use them in an application. […]
Description This example demonstrates how to configure a P2 I/O pin to sample and capture an analog input, and display the raw values using DEBUG. ‘ Program reads an ADC and displays raw count CON _clkfreq = 100_000_000 ‘set clock frequency _pin = 0 ‘do conversion on this pin PUB go() | i pinstart(_pin, p_adc_1x […]

Contest Introduction A teacher recently asked for some assistance on writing a Python script for the cyber:bot to make it navigate by compass. The use of the Micro:bit’s built-in compass is not currently documented in our tutorials, but it should be a useful robotics sensor for navigating from one side of the room to the […]

Many customers are awaiting the next manufacturing run of these two Propeller 2 products. Our manufacturing team worked through the weekend and completed most of the P2 Edge Modules. These boards now need to be depanelized, tested, and bagged. We’re waiting on a small component (due tomorrow, on Tuesday) to finish the P2 Edge Module Breadboard. We […]
