+h1. Propeller Microcontroller
+The Propeller is a multi-core microcontroller by Parallax.
+h2. Specs
+* 8 cores (cogs)
+* 32-bit architecture
+* Max clock speed 80MHz (note that Spin code executes much slower than this)
+* Each core has 2K SRAM for programs and data
+* 32KB EEPROM used to store programs
+* Programmable by serial interface
+* VGA output
+h2. Windows development tools
+* &quot;Parallax home page&quot;:http://parallax.com
+* &quot;Wikispaces Propeller Wiki, lots of useful info&quot;:http://propeller.wikispaces.com
+* &quot;Wikipedia entry, good detail&quot;:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_Propeller
+h2. Languages
+The Propeller can be programmed in assembler or Spin.  There are also third party C compilers available.
+h3. Assembler
+The Propeller has a small instruction set and is well documented in the Propeller manual.
+h3. Spin
+A bytecode interpreted language by Parallax.  Most of the high level libraries are written in Spin.  Each cog can fit a copy of the interpreter in its SRAM, but bytecode is read from hub memory which slows down execution.  See the wikipedia page for details.
+* &quot;BST&quot;:http://www.fnarfbargle.com/bst.html (Brad's Spin Tool) is a cross-platform tool suite for developing Spin programs.
+h3. C
+There are two C implementations
+* &quot;Imagecraft&quot;:http://www.imagecraft.com make a commercial compiler, $99 for non-commercial use
+* &quot;Catalina&quot;:http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=25&amp;m=339139 is an open source compiler currently in beta.  It is based on the lcc compiler and comes with a complete ieee floating point implementation
+h3. Other open/free development tools
+* &quot;Program loader script (python, requires pyserial)&quot;:http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=25&amp;m=161911
+* &quot;Homespun Spin compiler&quot;:http://propeller.wikispaces.com/Homespun+Spin+Compiler
+* Propasm - Propeller assembler, written in Java
+h2. Docs
+* &quot;Documentation including Propeller manual, board schematics, lab exercises. (10MB)&quot;:http://www.expandingbrain.com/PropellerDocs.zip
