Propeller Activity Board WX (Parallax) 8-core Propeller MCTR & 64 KB EEPROM

Description

The Propeller Activity Board WX features the 8-core Propeller microcontroller pre-wired to a host of popular peripherals for fast and fun experiments.  Designed especially for STEM education, it's a great tool for learning or teaching technology basics: electronics, programming, sensors, communication, computer science, engineering, and control systems.

Programming is well-supported with our graphical BlocklyProp tutorials or text-based C-language tutorials. It's also the board included on the ActivityBot Robot.

The WX version of the Propeller Activity Board expands upon the functionality of the original (#32910).  There’s more current for your projects with independent 1.8 amp 3.3 V and 5 V switching regulators, an upgrade from audio-out-only to a Mini TRRS audio/video (or audio/mic) jack, and selectable wireless socket/USB communication between host computer and the Propeller chip (RF module not included!)

Key Features:

• BlocklyProp graphical programming on Chromebook, Windows, or Mac
• Text-based C programming on Windows or Mac
• 8-core Propeller microcontroller & 64 KB EEPROM
• RF module socket with WiFi support — experiment with wireless communication and debugging
• microSD card holder — log sensor data or play WAV files
• Mini TRRS audio/video jack — listen to WAV files, synthesized speech, or output Propeller-generated video 
• 3-pin headers — quickly connect servos, sensors, serial LCDs, etc.  
• Breadboard — build and rebuild circuits without soldering   
• A/D and D/A converters — read or set the voltages for battery monitoring or sensors
• Independent switching regulators —  3.3 V, 1.8 A and 5 V, 1.8 A
• Power via USB or power supply/battery pack — the choice is yours
• A bag of 10 3" jumper wires and four protective rubber feet are included
