Propeller Board of Education (#32900)
The form of the original Board of Education^© meets the powerful function of the multicore Propeller^™
microcontroller. A built-in set of peripherals makes it ready to support an amazing array of projects,
prototypes, hands-on activities, and kits. The Propeller Board of Education is ideal for learning the basics
of electronics, programming and robotics. It also simplifies advanced applications that require RF-linked
communication, audio/visual peripherals, and gigabytes of SD memory.
