Parallax Inc., the Rocklin, Calif. electronics manufacturing company, is known for developing the Basic Stamp microcontroller development board and educational accessory kits. In addition to ...

The Parallax Propeller is an interesting chip that doesn’t get a lot of love, but since the entire chip was released as open source, that might be about to change: people are putting this chip inside ...

If there’s one thing that will surely blind us, its reading resistor color bands. It doesn’t help that red looks exactly like orange, brown and black are indistinguishable, and different component ...

The eight-core Parallax Propeller microcontroller finally has a C compiler courtesy of ImageCraft. The ANSI C compiler supports a large memory model that exceeds the on-chip 2-kbyte limit of the eight ...

The Propeller chip (see "Eight 32-Bit Cores Take Flight In Multiprocessor Microcontroller" at www.electronicdesign.com, ED Online 12235) has found a home in the $59 24-pin SpinStamp Microcontroller ...

Abstract: An Anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed. Propeller type anemometer measures wind speed by generating an a.c signal. In the development of new anemometer, we use Hall Effect sensor ...

The mechanical parts of the project include a semi-circular cylinder on the bottom along with a3D printed part to house the electronics. A 2020T Aluminum profile supports the motors and the end-stops.

Abstract: The measurement of propeller speed of a quadrotor helicopter is very useful to estimate its thrust force. The infrared light on the optoelectronics method is used to detect the existence of ...
