Propteus is born!
August 14th, 2009
Propteus is based on the standard 4″x3.05″ Parallax Protoboard format, and has the following features:
Propeller base circuit
- PropPlug compatible headers, extra pins possible for Vcc, SCL, SDA
- EEPROM support
- P8X32 dip support
- support for FOUR decoupling capacitors for the propeller - two on either side. Saphiea recommends 33uF tantalum and 100nF ceramic on each side for maximum overclocking potential.
- designed to easily support Sigma-Delta, can cut top trace to second user pad for very short leads
- optional RESET/user switch
Expansion headers
- MORPHBUS connector support - or can be used for 2xN headers
- can be stacked on Morpheus, Propeller ProtoBoard, SX boards, Stamp boards
- can be “base” board for another Propteyus, Proteus, Mem+, Morpheus
- two ProtoBoard / Morpheus / SpinStudio compatible ten pin expansion headers
- expansion headers can be left unconnected, directly connected to P0-P7, P8-P15, or connected via current limiting resistors
- optionally the EXP1/EXP2 connectors can be driven by other circuitry on the large prototyping area
- supports extra 1×12 header on bottom left
- supports 12 servo headers on top right
LED’s - Everyone loves blinking lights!
- supports four user LED’s with current limiting resistors
- supports power LED with current limiting resistor
Voltage Regulation
- support for 3.3V regulator circuit
- optional power switch
- filter capacitor support
- reverse voltage protection diode
- two pin power input
- can power MORPHBUS
- can be powered from MORPHBUS
Servo Power
- when MORPHBUS powered can be wired to provide 1000uF capacitor and 1uH induction for better external servo power
Large Prototyping Area
- Large prototyping area designed for better 0.3″ and 0.6″ support
- Special zig-zag Vcc/GND bus, within 0.1″-0.145″ from any bus
