It's also the board included on the ActivityBot 360° Robot. The Propeller 1 microcontroller on this board makes complex projects easier to manage.  Timing-sensitive processes like controlling motors, checking sensors, or playing audio can be handled by separate cores without interfering with each other.  Our pre-written C libraries and our BlocklyProp blocks hand this aspect automatically - just call them from your main program and the cores will be launched and released behind the scenes as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WX version of the Propeller Activity Board expands upon the functionality of the original (#32910).  There’s more current for your projects with independent 1.8 amp 3.3 V and 5 V switching regulators, an upgrade from audio-out-only to a Mini TRRS audio\/video (or audio\/mic) jack, and selectable wireless socket\/USB communication between host computer and the Propeller chip (RF module not included!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlocklyProp graphical programming on Chromebook, Windows, or Mac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eText-based C programming on Windows or Mac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-core Propeller microcontroller \u0026amp; 64 KB EEPROM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRF module socket with WiFi support — experiment with wireless communication and debugging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emicroSD card holder — log sensor data or play WAV files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini TRRS audio\/video jack — listen to WAV files, synthesized speech, or output Propeller-generated video\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-pin headers — quickly connect servos, sensors, serial LCDs, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreadboard — build and rebuild circuits without soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA\/D and D\/A converters — read or set the voltages for battery monitoring or sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent switching regulators —  3.3 V, 1.8 A and 5 V, 1.8 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower via USB or power supply\/battery pack — the choice is yours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA bag of 10 3\" jumper wires and four protective rubber feet are included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCB assembled, tested, and completed in Rocklin, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/7-5-vdc-1-6-amp-power-supply\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e7.5 VDC, 1 Amp Power Supply\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended, not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product replaces the original Propeller Activity Board (#32910).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003ePropeller Activity Board WX Specifications:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"details\" class=\"tabbed details ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom ui-accordion-content-active\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-tech\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower requirements: 6 to 15 VDC from an external power supply, or 5 V from a USB port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunication: USB mini-B (onboard serial over USB) or wireless (RF module not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 4.0 x 3.05 x 0.625 in (10.16 x 7.75 x 1.59 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temp range: +32 to +158 °F (0 to +70 °C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-core Propeller P8X32A-Q44 microcontroller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.8A, 3.3V\/5V switching regulators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 Propeller I\/O available for prototyping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e64 KB I2C EEPROM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 MHz crystal oscillator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emicroSD card slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini TRRS audio\/video jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless module socket with DO, DI, RTS, CTS access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreadboard with 34 5-socket rows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-pin servo ports, jumper-select 5 V or VIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-bit 4-channel SPI ADC with 5 V reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-channel D\/A, 0–3.3 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-position power switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReset button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.1 mm centar-positive power jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto-selects between USB or external power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in USB over-current protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e A shunt jumper connects two pins next to each set of servo port 3-pin headers.
