I am an EET student at HVCC and I took a Microcontroller class this semester. We have gone through all of the examples and projects in the “What's a Microcontoller?” book so I am listing that as my reference for this project.
Inspiration
At Parallax we are constantly amazed by the projects people create with our hardware. We also know just how well an outside project can help inspire interest in a personal project. That's the basis for our inspiration page: a place to be inspired and share completed projects to inspire others.

I would like to submit my propeller powered Christmas lights project that has been ongoing for the past few years. The lights are controlled by a 16 channel Propeller powered controller that I call the "Rudolph 16". These controllers receive DMX-512 from a Propeller powered PC interface I call the "DMX Director".

Here is my entry to the "Hack the Halls!" contest. I started making this out for my brother and when I saw the contest I figured I'll post and see how I do. Check out the video:

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.

A jaunty fedora ringed with high output LEDs that blink red in alternating patterns using an Arduino hidden within the hat. Designed to celebrate any holiday or party. I have worn it to a few and it is definitely an eye-grabber.

My project is a randomized bouncing light Christmas tree used to decorate for the Christmas season. This LED Christmas tree utilizes a 12 by 16 LED matrix mounted on a metal frame.

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.
