ViewPort v4
We've integrated the components required to build advanced projects into one package. ViewPort consists of a library of objects for the Parallax Propeller and a Graphical User Interface. ViewPort can be integrated into any spin program, it requires one cog and a single line of code at the start of your program. It's easy to get started with plenty of tutorials, videos and documentation. It is also configurable and extensible so you can customize it to your needs
Coming Soon:
DanceBot - A balancing robot that can dance.
This two-wheeled autonomous robot can dance the tango, follow your lead, joust other DanceBots or be programmed to do just about anything else. Use our DanceMaster software to choreograph the robot's moves using a simple LOGO-like language. When you wear our special belt buckle, DanceBot will dance with you- tracking you through twists and turns. You can control DanceBot to turn or move just like an RC car. DanceBot is a scalable, robust platform to build advanced robots.
IO Dreamkit - Replace a roomful of electronic equipment with one board.
This board integrates all components for measuring and generating analog and digital signals from DC to 128MHz. Use our driver and ViewPort to replace your: Spectrum Analyzer, Digital Oscilloscope, Logic State Analyzer, Function Generator and Variable Power Supply.
1MPixel Camera - Add vision processing to your robot.
Once assembled, this board plugs into your Propeller Protoboard to provide access to a 1MPixel color camera. The camera supports multiple resolutions at frame rates up to 15fps. Our driver allows you to capture images at different resolutions into main memory and to apply video filters that modify the image or tell you where objects are. ViewPort can show you what the camera sees.
IMU/IR Sensor - Accurately determine a robot's orientation.
Once assembled, this board plugs into your Propeller Protoboard to provide data for 3 axis acceleration, 1 axis roll, and codes from a remote control. You can also attach a PING sensor to measure distance. Our driver lets you read the raw sensor values or processed by a Kalman filter. Use ViewPort to view the sensor values in real time.
40 MSamples/second ADC - Add high-speed analog sampling to the Propeller.
Once assembled, this board plugs into your Propeller Protoboard to measure analog signals with up to 40MSamples/second. Used with ViewPort, you can view and manipulate your sampled data or even view digitized video. Our driver lets you capture samples into main memory and digitize black and white video into a framebuffer.
Motor Controller - Accurately drive a robot by speed or position.
Once assembled, this board plugs into your Propeller Protoboard to provide high power proportional forward and backward control for 2 motors, each with optional encoder. Our driver implements a PID controller to control the motor's speed or position. Use ViewPort to easily tune and analyze your motor's performance.
