Propeller Activity Kit Parts

Pair this bundle of Propeller Activity Kit Parts with a Propeller Activity Board and programming cable (not included), and you will have all of the electronic components needed to complete the activities in the “What’s a Multicore Microcontroller?” text.

This parts kit includes a selection of input sensors, output devices, integrated circuits, and passive components for creating a wide variety of circuits on your Activity Board. Build your electronics skills and learn to use these common components with the circuit-building and C-language programming exercises included in the “What’s a Multicore Microcontroller” text. Chapters 1 to 6 are available now as a free preview PDF download.

Key Features:

• Build simple circuits with schematics and wiring diagrams
• Write programs in Propeller C to control the circuits
• Send signals by blinking LEDs
• Sense contact with pushbuttons
• Read a control knob using a potentiometer
• Measure light with a phototransistor
• Control motion with a servo motor
• Play tunes on a piezo speaker
• Play WAV files from a microSD Card
• Display data on a 7-segment LED
• Combine several of the above circuits to prototype an invention

Note: Propeller Activity Board WX (#32912) and USB A to Mini B programming cable (#805-00006) required; not included.
