Propeller Design 2008-2010

  • Harrison and the Thumper.

    Thumper is a Propeller based Internet Radio Player with MP3 Recording and Playback capabilities. The hardware contains a single Parallax Propeller Chip and some external support chips to implement a complete internet radio player.

  • Eric Moyer with the OpenStomp

    The Coyote-1 is a user programmable/configurable open source audio effects processor designed primarily for guitar players. The Coyote-1 is currently capable of producing Echo, Distortion, Tremolo, Chorus, and Pitch Dive effects, and can be extended to produce hundreds of other audio effects through the creation of custom “effect modules.”

  • The OughtToPilot project.

    A Propeller-based attitude estimation device embeddable into low cost remote control (RC) airplanes for hobby-grade UAV application is presented. The system senses and controls the aircraft’s attitude (pitch and roll) to maintain level flight and guides the aircraft toward a pre-loaded GPS waypoint.

  • Ryan and the DAQPac board.

    DAQPac is an automotive data logger designed from the ground up for motorsports enthusiasts. It has all the features necessary for a driver to improve both their skill and vehicle performance. DAQPac was the result of two prior prototypes, each one evaluating the hardware for function at a reasonable cost.

  • PropIRC close up.

    Internet Relay Chat, also known as IRC, is a very popular protocol for multi user chat and collaboration.  It is commonly used in gaming communities and open source project collaboration.

  • Sphinx creator Michael Park

    Sphinx is a Spin compiler that runs on the Propeller chip. It can compile complex and substantial programs (including those containing Propeller assembly language) such as the Parallax TV and graphics objects and even Sphinx itself.
