Propeller Activity Board WX The Propeller Activity Board WX features the POWERFUL 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, and control systems. It is well-supported with our free C-language programming software and web tutorials: learn.parallax.com/propeller-c. The WX version of the Propeller Activity Board expands upon the functionality of the original Activity Board (#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!) Features 8-core Propeller microcontroller & 64 KB EEPROM - program in C, Spin, or Assembly 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 Note: Our 7.5 VDC, 1 Amp Power Supply is recommended, not included.Specifications Power requirements: 6 to 15 VDC from an external power supply, or 5 V from a USB port Communication: USB mini-B (onboard serial over USB) or wireless (RF module not included) Dimensions: 4.0 x 3.05 x 0.625 in (10.16 x 7.75 x 1.59 cm) Operating temp range: 32 to 158 F (0 to 70 C) 8-core Propeller P8X32A-Q44 microcontroller 1.8A, 3.3V/5V switching regulators 18 Propeller I/O available for prototyping 64 KB I2C EEPROM 5 MHz crystal oscillator microSD card slot Mini TRRS audio/video jack Wireless module socket with DO, DI, RTS, CTS access Breadboard with 34 5-socket rows 3-pin servo ports, jumper-select 5 V or VIN 12-bit 4-channel SPI ADC with 5 V reference 2-channel D/A, 0-3.3 V 3-position power switch Reset button 2.1 mm center-positive power jack Auto-selects between USB or external power Built-in USB over-current protection Downloads & Respurces SimpleIDE Propeller C Software for Raspberry Pi SimpleIDE Propeller C Software for Linux SimpleIDE Propeller C Software for Mac SimpleIDE Propeller C Software for Windows Propeller Activity Board WX DipTrace Files Propeller Activity Board WX Schematic Propeller Activity Board WX Product Guide Propeller C Tutorials featuring the Propller Activity Board WX (Learn.Parallax.com) More Propeller C Friendly Parallax Products
