Description

The PRC4PP lets you easily attach servos and sensors to the Gadget Gangster Platform. P0-P23 have provision for standard 3 pin servo/lcd/sensor connectors (Gnd, V+, Signal). There's a small prototyping area adjacent to P24-P31.

Features:
* Compatible with The Propeller Platform, Propeller Platform SD, and Pixter X
* 3 Servo banks, for multiple power levels (External, 5v, 3.3v)
* Bank0 and Bank1 are laid out for a simple RC network in the signal line to minimize noise being fed back into the Propeller by the servos.
* The servo connectors are in groups of four separated by an extra gap between groups. Earlier experience has shown that when 5 or more of the Molex connectors are stacked side by side they start to crowd and are difficult to securely connected.
* Small prototyping area to connect sensors or build your own circuits.

Make It!

You'll need a few tools to build this project
(1) A soldering iron & solder (Soldering Tutorial)
(2) Diagonal Cutters

The PRC fits on the Propeller Platform or on a breadboard or protoboard. The project takes about 30 minutes to build.

The PRC module is compatible with 5V and 3.3V logic levels. Be sure to check out The Shoppe at Wulfden for other great Platform Modules!
