Google Tech Talk

I gave a "Tech Talk" at Google about the projects I'm working on: ViewPort, the premier debugging tool for the Propeller, DanceBot, an interactive vision guided balancing robot, and PropScope, a multi-function usb oscilloscope/logic analyzer/function generator to be sold at retail for $199. See here for the video and here for my slides.

Here's some feedback from our users:

“ViewPort v4.1 is solid, stable and versatile, a very impressive achievement. Now, I am going to incorporate ViewPort in several of my research investigations”
"I have been working with ViewPort for a few weeks now and I just wanted to take the time to say what a wonderful tool it is. I have learned more and moved my projects along so much faster and am more confident than ever before. Well done !!!"
"If you buy one thing for the prop, buy this. (No I am not getting anything for saying this, I truly believe it. )"
"Brilliant, especially for us more novice (propeller) users familiar with studio. My son will love it."
"I gave it a try and all I can say is that it's an amazing software package. Wow!!!!"
"This is an awesome piece of work you have done here."
"This is exactly what Propeller development has been lacking. Keep it up!"
