Propeller Proto Board

The Parallax Propeller Proto Board is a flexible and cost-effective prototyping platform for the Parallax P8X32A microcontroller. It’s designed for engineers and hobbyists who want to develop and test embedded systems, automation logic, or sensor interfaces using the Propeller chip.

Overview

The Proto Board provides a complete Propeller subsystem on a breadboard-friendly PCB. It includes voltage regulators, crystal oscillator, EEPROM, and breakout headers for all I/O pins — allowing rapid hardware experimentation and firmware development.

Key Features

• Based on the Parallax P8X32A 8-core Propeller chip.
• Includes EEPROM, power regulation, and 5 MHz crystal oscillator.
• All 32 I/O pins available via standard 0.1" headers.
• Compatible with the Parallax Prop Plug for programming.
• Breadboard-ready layout for prototyping and circuit integration.
