Programming the Propeller with Spin: A Beginner's Guide to Parallel Processing (Tab Electronics)

Author(s)

Programming the Propeller with Spin?: A Beginner's Guide to Parallel Processing walks you through the essential skills you need to build and control devices using the Propeller chip and its parallel processing environment. Find out how to use each of the identical 32-bit processors, known as cogs, and make the eight cogs effectively interact with each other. The book covers Propeller hardware and software setup, memory, and the Spin language. Step-by-step projects give you hands-on experience as you learn how to:

Use Propeller I/O techniques with extensive Spin code examples

Display numbers with seven segment displays

Create accurate, controlled pulse sequences

Add a 16 character by two line LCD display

Control R/C hobby servos

Use motor amplifiers to control small motors

Run a bipolar stepper motor

Build a gravity sensor-based auto-leveling table

Run DC motors with incremental encoders

Run small AC motors

You'll also find hundreds of lines of ready-to-run documented Spin code. Downloads available at mhprofessional.com/computingdownload
