The Parallax Propeller Proto Board

Parallax’s Propeller Proto Board is a low cost, high quality solution for permanent projects using the Propeller chip. To save the user some expense, the USB programming interface is not included on the Propeller Proto Board; we suggest you purchase a Prop Plug for programming your Propeller Proto Boards.

This board is also ready for use with the Prop Clip, and is also compatible with the USB2SER with the addition of a 4-pin header (not included).

Programming your Proto Board with the 'Prop Plug'

To program the Proto board you will require a 'Prop Plug'

The Prop Plug and Prop Clip each provide a USB-to-serial port connection that is convenient for microcontroller programming and communication. These tiny devices are capable of asynchronous communication at up to 3 M baud with both 3.3-volt and 5.0-volt devices such as the Propeller and BASIC Stamp. The Prop Plug slips onto a 4-pin, 0.1" spaced header, allowing both PCB's and breadboards to provide in-circuit programming capability. Use the Prop Clip if programming with fewer components via a PCB edge connector is desired. Note: USB A to Mini B Retractable Cable is included .
