TetraProp

    TetraProp is a PropellerPlatform compatible board with 4 Propellers. It is designed for distributed parallel procecessing experiments. Each Propeller Island is an individulal unit with headers for user connections.

    TetraProp is available as a blank board or an "pre-assembled" kit. Only the surface mount devices and crystal sockets are pre-assembled. This is to maximize the user's flexibility.

    TetraProp 4 Propeller Feature Set

    • Headers allow interconnections for user's design
    • Four independent Propeller islands on one board
    • Propeller and EEPROM are SMD
    • Other components through-hole for easy modification
    • Jumper selectable reset type
    • Socket for crystal
    • PropPlug header for every Propeller
    • All stacker pins on 0.1" grid for connecting to a protoboard.

    The strengths of this board are that it allows any connection for the user and saves board cost. The reset circuit can be configured for normal propeller operation with BOE* low or reset hold until released with BOE high.
