Introduction PNut_v49p1 adds new DEBUG PLOT commands allowing up to 8 bitmap layers that you can selectively copy into the PLOT window. This is useful for doing photo-realistic displays, where pre-drawn images are copied into the plot window to show,…
Introduction SPIN2 introduces native 32-bit floating point support for the Propeller 2. The implementation follows IEEE-754 encoding rules, with a bit sequence comprising a sign bit, followed by exponent and then mantissa (significand) bits. An interesting tool to experiment with…
Introduction Implementing user-defined data structures and multi-dimensional arrays in Spin is different than it is in C/C++, Java, Python, PHP and other high-level languages. With a few special considerations, Spin can do this for larger software projects requiring complex data…
Introduction The Parallax Propeller 1 Microcontroller was designed by Chip Gracey, President of Parallax Inc. based in Rocklin, California, USA. Chip spent eight years on the project overall, and was assisted for two years by an in-house layout engineer. An…
Introduction Parallax’s renowned expert Propeller programmer shares a series of introductory coaching sessions on programming in Spin2. These cover all the fundamental steps from selecting and connecting hardware, to programming the basic functions – and beyond! Jon also shares his…
Introduction Each cog has independent counters that can run in the background and support your code without overhead. The counters can perform many operations, and here we mention using them for operation timers. Code Snippet These code snippets show an…
Introduction The Propeller native SPIN language includes many efficient instructions to solve common programming tasks. For example, how to switch a group of IO pins simultaneously with a single instruction ? Here’s an example using just two lines of code…
