I've begun reading John's write up. I still need to complete my reading, but if I understand it, the Propeller CPU boots up by reading the EEPROM. So, basically, the EEPROM is the Firmware, but the Propeller copies it into RAM for execution. That's great news, I have EEPROM programmers. Thank God I don't need yet another programmer! :) Josh

I used the source of the spin file from Johns site to build and burn the EEPROM with my Prom/EEProm VP-290 programmer, I did NOT install any of the special stuff on John board to load via serial or the special Parallax programmer card....

Are there more files somewhere else? Do I need to compile those "SPIN" files or is there a compiled binary file somewhere else? How do I program the Propeller chip? Does it require a special programmer? or does it have a boot loader built into it? How does my software use this console I/O board to send a character and read the keyboard?

The switch bracket has two important purposes. One is for the positioning of the switches when you solder them in. I've tried doing this without a bracket and it's very difficult to get them lined up perfect without some sort of jig. I already have a quote from sheet metal fabricator here in town to produce one. In small quantities it was $15 USD. I'm thinking that I can do these on my mill, probably five or six at a time for just the cost of materials. I already have drill bits and tap for the tiny screws. I'm going to give it a try this week. If your interested in a bracket please let me know so I can gage the interest level. We may be to produce a few and pass them onto other builders on a 'loaner' basis. However my original plan was to use the bracket for installation and as a strain relief in the chassis. Please feel free to send along your ideas and suggestions. Thank you. On 12/ 7/14 03:17 PM, G.
