Getting Started with the Propeller: Learn to Use the Powerful Eight-core Microcontroller

Ready to take your Arduino skills to the next level? This book shows you how to build projects with the Propeller, a microcontroller built from the silicon up for prototyping. A multicore architecture and new programming language make the Propeller ideal for artists and hobbyists who are building unique applications - especially projects that generate video and audio. Authors Nick McClanahan and Jeff Ledger start you with blinking an LED and take you all the way to building your own videogame and synthesizer. Along the way, you'll be introduced to the Propeller Platform, an Open Source prototyping platform designed specifically for the Propeller.
