Dabbling With Yet Another Microcontroller

Finally got a chance to try out my Parallax Propeller QuickStart microcontroller. The programming language it uses is unusual to me, as it is closer to assembly language compared to C/C++ which is used in Arduino and other microcontrollers. Yet it's pretty cool to learn.

I also like how this board has 8 surface mount LEDs on it, makes it easy to test things without needing to find the right LEDs, resistors and jumper wire for the job.

Here's a vid of one little test I made:

Notice how the lights blink so fast it appears like it is a solid light! This effect is called Persistence of Vision (POV).
